The Winner of the 2025 Wedding Ceremony Photography Award is Oliver Prince

Millie Pilkington says, “This photograph captures an ethereal moment of intimacy, connection, and natural beauty. The lighting is perfection—soft and golden, it highlights the brides’ white dresses and creates a gentle glow that complements the rugged terrain. The composition is a masterstroke, placing the couple at the heart of a majestic landscape that feels timeless and almost sacred. The muddy hems of the dresses add a realness that grounds this dreamlike scene in authenticity. The pageboys, unaware of the lens, mirror the grace of the brides with their playful candidness, giving the image layers of narrative and charm. Truly a breathtaking moment.”

Second place – Gozde Pekdinc

Millie Pilkington says, “This image is a masterpiece of storytelling, brimming with emotion and character. The expressions of the bride, groom, and the father of the bride are beautifully captured, each telling their own part of the story—nervous anticipation, joyous pride, and playful warmth. The natural interactions make this moment feel authentic and alive, while the subtle reactions from those in the background add depth and context. The black-and-white treatment enhances the timeless quality of the scene, focusing attention on the emotions and details rather than the distractions of color. It’s a heartfelt, spirited capture that will resonate for generations—a truly wonderful moment frozen in time.”

Third place – Sarah Oliver

Millie Pilkington says, “This image is stunningly dramatic, with the magnificent ceiling and grand architecture framing the couple beautifully. The lighting on the bride and groom draws the eye perfectly, highlighting them amidst the vast, ornate space. It’s an exceptional use of location, creating an atmospheric and timeless portrayal of their ceremony.”
