Wedding Photographer of the Year - and the winner is...
Perth, Western Australia



Blog Post from Roger:

Normally I don't do the blog...that's left to Kirsty. But last Friday night she received a very special honour, and being the quiet, bashful little thing that she is I thought I'd let you all know about it...

Kirsty was crowned the 2009 Epson WA AIPP Professional Wedding Photographer of the Year at a gala event at the Duxton Hotel in Perth. She was up against WA's best wedding photographers. This is an award that I have yet to win (I've twice been runner-up to the wonderful Ric Syme who, in my view is one of the best wedding photographers this state has ever seen).

Kirsty was also runner up for the coveted John Whitfield-King Award - a perpetual trophy for the "best people Pic". John Whitfield-King is regarded as the most naturally gifted and visually literate photographer of his generation who sadly passed away in 1990 of motor neurone disease at the age of 50.

She was also runner up for the Best Individual Wedding Print Award.

So well done and congratulations to Kirsty!!!

But what does this mean to you, our clients?

You're lucky! You now have the 2007 WA Portrait Photographer of the Year AND the 2009 WA Wedding Photographer of the Year shooting your wedding.

Few studios in Australia can claim two such accomplished and awarded photographers both shooting together at the same wedding.

For years I have reigned on the throne here at ENVY. Now Kirsty is wearing the crown (for now...) I'm wondering though...will she still carry my bags??..surely??..

Congratulations Kirsty - no one has worked harder or deserves this more than you.

Your loving husband,

Roger
