After receiving over 2,500 entries and votes in the first Wedding Photo Awards last year, Slaley Hall is now calling for entries to the 2017 competition, which will celebrate the memorable moments captured at weddings.
Anyone in the UK can submit a photo – whether an experienced photographer or a guest at a wedding – by posting it on QHotels’ Facebook or Instagram page using the hashtag #WeddingPhotoAwards, along with the name of the category they wish to enter.
The winner of each category will receive a one-night QHotels break for two with dinner.
The 2017 Wedding Photo Award categories are: best ‘first look’ photo; funniest wedding photo; best ‘perfect kiss’ photo; best ‘first dance’ photo and best ‘themed wedding’ photo.
Entries will close on July 3 when QHotels’ expert wedding panel will announce the shortlist for each category, before going to a public vote on social media to decide the winner.
Regional general manager at Slaley Hall Andrew Fox said: “We received some fantastic entries from the people of Northumberland into last year’s competition, from stunning black and white photography to comically-staged group photographs and photo-bombed selfies.
“We’re expecting to see even more creative shots entered into the 2017 awards, as brides and grooms-to-be take their inspiration from social media channels, such as Instagram and Pinterest.”
