Wedding Industry Awards - South West Wedding Photographer of the Year

I was chuffed to bits having initially been put forward by one of my brides for the 2012 Wedding Industry Awards, and then I was gobsmacked to have been shortlisted as one of the best photographers in the South West region, in what is a seriously competitive market.



 

The best bit about the awards is that you are voted for by the brides and grooms that have been photographed you. Each couple were asked to write about the experience of using me as a photographer and then asked why they booked me as a photographer.



These comments are more important to me than one particular photograph as I can now show with confidence that not only will I provide fantastic photographs taken from your wedding day, I also provide a second to none service not only on the wedding day but also in the run up to the wedding and also even more so, afterwards. 

I think this is vitally important as when looking for a wedding photographer in Gloucestershire, Worcestershire or the South West you are seriously bombarded with hundreds of photographers proclaiming that they offer fantastic wedding images but no consideration has been taken in account with what the bride and groom's experience is like on the day and for that matter the guests that are there to celebrate the couple getting married and not watching a "Photo Shoot".

So what were the bride and groom's comments? I was literally blown away with the praise but here's a snippet of what was said:

Why did you book Ben as your wedding photographer?

“Previous examples of work were exceptional, bens flair for creativity, his professional, enthusiastic and passionate approach to his role and producing the best work for your wedding and as his client. cost and variety of products available.”

 
“We wanted to use a local supplier, and Ben was professional yet relaxed which immediately put us at ease. We also felt that the choice and flexibility of wedding packages offered value for money and having viewed some of his previous wedding albums we were confident in his ability to capture the day for us.”

 
“Initially for the price and for his documentary style.. after meeting him it was because we got on so well and were offered tea"

 
“Having seen Ben's work at his studio we realised that he was versatile and adaptable and capable of both formal and less formal wedding photography - the latter style being exactly what we wanted. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Ben to anyone - for his technical capabilities and for value for money. He really cares about delivering everything his clients ask of him.”

 
 
“We found the introduction meeting with Ben really relaxing and insightful, we were unsure what we wanted but Ben was able to introduce us to a variety of options that really broadened our views on what could be achieved. There was never any pressure from Ben; you could just really tell that he wanted the best from our day too!”

What was your experience having used Blooming Photography as your wedding photographer?

“Ben was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. He had great ideas with the location he had to work with, meeting us a couple of months before at the church and reception venue. My husband found Ben to be a great support & really helped with his nerves at the church, you'd never have known from the pictures that he'd been so scared! We really loved the way that he didn't harrass our guests & got some amazing natural shots. All in all we couldn't have asked for more from a photographer & are very glad that we chose Blooming Photography. I would definitely recommend Ben for any occasion he is just brilliant at what he does.”

 
“Ben has an ability to make you feel really relaxed and his photos are fantastic. These weren't just pictures of the day, he somehow managed to also capture the atmosphere and feelings. When I flick through my album it, I can feel the fun we all had. His effort was amazing, he had never been to the venue before, so took a pre wedding visit so he knew where to take his photos. On a final note, his direction was perfect,'he managed to get all guests where they needed in a warm, friendly and enthusiastically. He felt like he was a guest himself.”

 
“We chose Blooming Photography because of Ben's contemporary approach to taking wedding photographs. We carried out extensive research via the internet and it was clear his personality came across from his website and we were not disappointed. Before we booked Ben we met him at his studio and we immediately found Ben to be very professional , engaging , intuitive and extremely perceptive in interpreting our needs and wants for the day His non intrusive approach on the day allowed him to capture the exact mood we desired.”

 
“Very accommodating Very professional Always communicative throughout the whole process. Photos are fantastic and captured every moment as well as just the 2 of us. Great value for money and so professional on the day. Cannot recommend highly enough.”
 

“Ben has such a fresh stylish approach he's friendly and helpful but never in the way. I didn't feel like my day stopped to do the photos, it was seemless. Ben seemed to be everywhere all the time he captured so many precious moments. I will cherish my photos for ever and probably will still be showing them off in 50 years time. I could never recomend him highly enough.”
