Wow, I am so excited to be writing this blog post! 🙂
On Saturday night the BIPP (British Institute of Professional Photography) North West region held their annual Photography Awards. The BIPP is a very prestigious and highly respected society and the official qualifying body for professional photographers in the UK, so to win an award with them is a fantastic achievement.
Unfortunately I wasn’t able to attend the awards due to family commitments but I found out this morning that I won the title of BIPP North West Wedding Photographer of the Year – to say I am delighted is an understatement!!
Not only that but I also did better than I could ever have expected in each of the categories I entered. In each category, a gold, silver and bronze is awarded as well as Merits for outstanding images which didn’t quite make it in to the top 3.
The results of the 3 wedding categories which are entered were:
Classical Wedding Category:
Gold – Neil Redfern
Silver – Neil Redfern
Bronze – Neil Redfern
….Plus 1 merit award
Creative Wedding Category:
Gold – Neil Redfern
Bronze – Neil Redfern
….Plus 3 merit awards
Reportage Wedding Category:
Silver – Neil Redfern
Bronze – Neil Redfern
Wedding Photographer of the Year – Neil Redfern
