6 NZIPP IRIS AWARDS 2011

I am thrilled with my latest win at this years Iris Awards in Rotorua. The Iris Awards are the most prestigious awards in New Zealand. The images are judged during 3 days by national and international top photographers.

I’ve won 6 awards this year in the Wedding,Commercial and Travel Categories.

It’s an amazing feeling to get awards and I’m so proud of them all, but this year it was especially nice to get recognition for the commercial and advertising work I do.

I also received the honor of becoming an associate member of NZIPP for the awards i have won during the last 3 years.

Another NZ Weddings Magazine feature

It’s always great to see you images in magazines, it doesn’t matter that I have had countless images published it is still a buzz to flip through a magazine and see my images. This last feature makes me one of the most published wedding photographers on the South Island in the last couple of years.

The double page spread in New Zealand Wedding magazine is from Casey and Glen’s wedding here in Wanaka earlier this year and was one of my favourites. I also won an Iris Award for an image of Casey taken just before the rain hit us and we had to get back in the helicopter.

Here is a link to the post of the wedding
