Sussex Wedding Photography: Peter Prior Wins Big at the SE MPA Awards

WOW!

I thought i would share with you amazing news after yesterday's 2011 South East Master Photographers Association's Annual Awards.

Following an excellent seminar by Ray Lowe, there followed a very long evening for the print competition that included some very hard but education critiquing of the large entry list, before the winners were announced.

Over the past few years i have been fortunate to win the odd award here and there but last night was my best night so far in terms of award and categories won. To be honest i am still in shock and despite a 20 hour day, found it hard to switch the brain off once i finally got back to my bed in the early hours.

Over all i was fortunate and proud to have won 3 categories outright as well as receiving a further 3 Merits for coming close. I won in Wedding Photojournalism for the second year running, Classical Weddings for the second time in three years and then Sports, Equestrian and Events as well. My Merits were gained in the Wedding Photojournalism, Contemporary Weddings and Child Portraiture categories.

Congratulations to the other winners and many thanks to Ray for an entertaining, very non-PC and educational day.

Anyway, here are the award winning images.
