On December 1st, 2010, BC’s wedding professionals gathered at District 319 for a celebration of excellence. It was the night when the winners of the inaugural Professional BC Wedding Awards would be announced. There was an air of nervous excitement in the room as no one really knew what to expect – we had entered, but had not heard if we were even finalists for the awards.
Whenever we enter something, we hope for the best, but we never assume that we are a shoe in for anything. BC has a dense talent pool in the photography category – very dense – and we knew the competition would be close.
And then it happened…the category for best Bride and Groom Together was announced. The runner-up was named…it wasn’t us. And then they announced the winner – Bebb Studios! It’s kind of surreal to have something announced in person like that, with no forewarning at all. But that added to the excitement of the moment.
Before we share our winning images, we want to congratulate the organizers of the Professional BC Wedding Awards, the entrants, winners and runners up in all categories, and to thank the judges for taking this huge task on.
Here is the image that won Best Bride and Groom Together:
Imagine our surprise when we also won the category for Best Overall Wedding Photography. This was a big one for us – we had the chance to enter 12 images from an entire wedding day. That image set had to showcase the feel of the wedding, and exemplify the kind of work that was done during the wedding. But how do you distill a wedding down to 12 images? It was so tough to choose and, in the end, we simply hoped that we were able to share images that showcased all the pertinent parts of the day, from the details, to the ceremony and photo session, right though to the reception.
Interestingly, the Best Overall Wedding Photography was from the same wedding that won the Bride and Groom category – Michelle and Winston’s wedding. And we cannot thank Michelle and Winston enough for trusting us with their photography!
Here is the Best Overall Wedding submission (and winning series):
