I was recently accepted into the ISPWP (International Society of Professional Wedding Photographers) which is a group of the world’s greatest wedding photographers under one roof. Acceptance into the fold is pretty tricky and only the best make it through the application process, which is more than can be said for many other ‘esteemed’ photography organisations.
The majority of the membership are based in the USA, and there are only a few UK members, so I was overwhelmed to find out this week that I had five images placed in the top ten of their respective categories in the latest quarterly contest! The images, associated info and judges comments are below.

Unfortunately quite a lot at the moment if you are my friend and fellow photographer David Calvert.
David has just discovered this in light of the recent stories run in the daily papers suggesting that Jon Venables was going by the name of David Calvert. Since then David’s photography site has had over 50,000 hits. Normally I’d be thrilled that his site is so popular, but at the moment he is obviously very concerned.
As his colleague I am doing all I can to help David disassociate himself from this dreadful story. He is in no way related to David Calvert of Fleetwood, who has also been highlighted in the press and is in no way connected to the tragic case of Jamie Bulger.
David, 46, is a national award winning photographer and his business David Calvert Photography, based in Hertfordshire, specialises in family and child portraiture. David has my complete support in these difficult circumstances and we hope very much that they pass without impact to him, his own family or his business.

I found out at the weekend that one of my images from last year has placed in the latest WPJA wedding photography contest. It’s a shot from Emma & Ian’s wedding in Dorset last August, and it placed 19th in the ‘Bride Getting Ready’ category. You can see more images from this wedding in my galleries section.
