Black and White Wedding Photography Awards

The Winner of the 2025 Black and White Photography Award is Luke from Eyebrow Photography

Millie Pilkington says, “This is a beautifully composed black-and-white image that stands out for its graphic quality. The stark contrast between light and shadow draws immediate attention, creating a bold, timeless aesthetic. The simplicity of the moment—two people holding hands and looking toward each other—gives it a heartfelt and intimate feel. The connection between the subjects is palpable, made stronger by their body language and the framing. Black-and-white works perfectly here, stripping away distractions and focusing on emotion and form. The composition is clean and deliberate, with a balance that’s visually striking. It’s a powerful, understated image that feels both artistic and personal.”

Second place – Stephen Minett

Millie Pilkington says “This photograph is an extraordinary fusion of drama and artistry, showcasing the power of composition and lighting. The vast, textured rock formation frames the bride and groom beautifully, emphasising the grandeur of nature against their intimate moment. The lighting is masterful, creating striking contrasts that highlight the rugged textures of the cave and the softness of the couple’s embrace. The stormy skies add a layer of intensity and emotion, while the tones in the black-and-white treatment bring out the depth and mood of the scene. Though the couple is small within the frame, they command attention, making this an evocative, timeless image.”

Third place – Andrew Weild

Millie Pilkington says, “I absolutely love how the backlighting creates such a stunning silhouette of the couple. The bride’s veil catching the light and mirroring the direction of the backdrop’s glowing lights is pure perfection. The composition is beautifully framed, and the contrast adds a timeless, romantic quality to the image. Truly breathtaking!”
