Wedding Photographer Regional Finalist The Wedding Industry Awards

I am honoured and proud to be a Wedding Photographer Regional Finalist At The Wedding Industry Awards Again. This is now 4 years in a row 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019. These are very prestigious awards and to be a finalist is a huge achievement in itself.  The most important part for me personally is that all our bride and grooms take the time to vote for me. Without their votes I would never be nominated and make the final.  The Wedding Industry Awards vote is so important and I would like to thank each and every person who takes the time to Vote for John Paul Donnell Photography.  I am very lucky in my job I get to meet some amazing couples, see them marry each other, get to meet all their friends and family and get to enjoy the party too.  Having comments like these below – I know that I’ve already won.  There were 27,000 votes cast so it was very close at the last one.
