The Winner of the 2025 Wedding Party Portraits Award is Steve Lee
Millie Pilkington says, “This image is a brilliant example of capturing joy and camaraderie with style and energy. The groom’s wide-open arms and confident smile exude personality, making him the undeniable centrepiece of this fun composition. The choice of a wide-angle lens adds a playful distortion, emphasising the group’s bond and the dynamic nature of the shot. The dramatic sky serves as a striking backdrop, amplifying the sense of grandeur while contrasting with the cheerful, lighthearted mood of the scene. The balance of formal attire and spontaneous celebration makes this portrait both polished and wonderfully authentic—a testament to a day full of spirit and laughter.”
Second place – Susan Ahanchi
Millie Pilkington says, “This is a wonderfully playful and beautifully executed group portrait, perfectly capturing the joy and camaraderie of the bridal party. The natural laughter and genuine expressions make the image feel warm and authentic, while the carefully considered composition ensures each person is clearly visible and part of the story. The repetition of the folded legs adds a subtle symmetry that enhances the overall balance of the shot. The soft, pastel tones of the setting and outfits create a cohesive, dreamy palette that’s both elegant and cheerful. The lighting is soft and flattering, highlighting the sense of celebration and connection. A delightful and memorable capture.”
Third place – Dash Photouk
Millie Pilkington says, “This is such a creative and dynamic image. The motion blur of the bridal party adds energy and contrast, perfectly highlighting the stillness and intimacy of the couple. The effect is striking and beautifully executed. A wonderful mix of fun and artistry.”
