Wedding photographer Steve Ramsden of Sutton-on-the-Forest, has just won an expenses-paid trip to the gambling capital of the US to attend the International Convention of Wedding and Portrait Photographers.

It is the latest in a clutch of accolades earned by Steve which makes him, arguably, the most highly-awarded wedding photographer in Yorkshire in 2009.

This time he scooped two prestigious titles at the 2009 Master Photographer Association’s Annual National Awards.

Steve won not only the MPA Licentiate Print competition, but also the Mario Acerboni ‘3 from 1’ award for the Yorkshire region which means he produced the best set of three photographs from one wedding taken before, during and after the ceremony.

At the glittering awards ceremony at the Newcastle Hilton, he also secured an Award of Excellence as a runner-up in the UK Wedding Photographer of the Year category.

He can add these to his other titles earned this year as MPA Yorkshire Region Classic Wedding Photographer of the Year and Yorkshire Region Best Wedding Album.

And he took four awards from the prestigious British Institute of Professional Photography (BIPP), including a highly- coveted Bronze National Award of Excellence.

For this Steve competed with the cream of British photographic talent, clinching his prize with a striking image in the Traditional Weddings category. Steve has also picked up three other BIPP honours this year – Yorkshire Region Classic, Avant-Garde and Overall Wedding Photographer of the Year.

BIPP President Graham Rutherford said “The standards we set in our awards are extremely high and Steve is an outstanding example of the best in British photography”.

Steve says “I am absolutely thrilled to have my photography recognised in this way. It makes all the hard work worthwhile and I can’t wait to fly out to Las Vegas to meet and be inspired by great photographers from all over the world..

“I always work closely with all my couples to achieve the best possible results, in a style that they feel comfortable with. After all, it’s partly due to them that I win all these awards, so I must thank them too!”.
