Award Winning Wedding Photography
Having received another national award this month, I thought it would be of interest to write about what this actually means, and to highlight the achievement that this symbolises.
As a member of The Guild Of Photographers, we are encouraged to submit an image into the monthly national competitions. Images submitted to these competitions are then judged by a panel. Scoring via a panel makes it more difficult to achieve any award, as you have to satisfy a group of judges, rather than just one individual, that your image is of a high enough standard.
Many images of a ‘competant’ standard do not achieve an award, known as a ‘Bar’. A Commended shot is basically a ‘solid’ image to be satisfied with. Obtaining a ‘Bar’ of any description is a difficult task as you have to satisfy the Panel your image is beyond the ‘norm’.
Here is how the scoring works:
Platinum Bar – World Class (yet to be awarded)
Gold Bar – Truely Exceptional (very rare)
Silver Bar – Very High Standard (very difficult to achieve)
Bronze Bar – High Standard (above the norm)
Commended – Good Professional Standard (a competant image)
Unclassified – Images that are not of national competition standards
Pre-wedding Shoot in Egham
I spent the evening with my latest couple for their pre-wedding shoot in Egham. Their photos are to be used at their wedding on some large-screen monitors at the reception, an increasingly popular trend in the modern age. They’re getting married at The Runnymede-on-Thames Hotel and having seen the venue, it looks gorgeous and as well as providing for an unforgettable day, it will also definitely make for some lovely wedding photos. Today was also a chance to go through the final details of the wedding (going through the day’s schedule, picking locations for backdrops, etc.) to ensure that it all goes smoothly, and that the photography can be conducted with minimal fuss.
This is the level of dedication and service you can expect from Jeff Sham Photography. I’m also getting more and more wedding enquiries into next Spring, so please contact me early to secure your wedding date with me.
