It’s that sparkling time of the year again! For all the amazing couples whose weddings I had the honor of capturing in 2023, the spotlight is on you! I’ve asked each couple who I was lucky enough to cover their wedding during 2023 to dive into the treasure trove of memories from their big day and pick out their absolute favourite photo.

Yes, it’s time for the ‘SvenStudios 2024 Wedding Photo of the Year’ contest! The winning couple allows the couple who wins the most votes to splurge with a $500 prints voucher. Think of all the gorgeous prints and products they can fill their home with!

If you are a couple who has not submitted their favourite photo for the contest yeat, rest assured that I can add your photo right up until the end of the contest – which will be the end of March 31st.

To turn up the excitement, there’s an AU$100 cash prize waiting to be claimed just by voting! Fair play is the name of the game, so our trusty anti-duplicate system ensures every vote is as unique as these love stories. And guess what? This year, sharing really is caring. Cast your vote, then pop it onto social media for an extra chance to win!

What I absolutely adore about this contest is it gives me a glimpse of what my couples love about my photos and it allows me to become a better photographer as a result. It’s their picks that are on display, even if they’re worlds apart from my personal favourites.

So, rally your friends and family, get those votes in, and maybe even spark a trend on Facebook. Your love story deserves to be celebrated, and who knows? Your favorite snapshot might just be the next ‘Wedding Photo of the Year.’

Every year, I hold a contest for all the married couples whose weddings I covered in the previous year (2022). I request each couple to choose their favorite photo from the wedding photos I took on their big day and nominate it for the ‘SvenStudios 2022 wedding photo of the year’ title. The winning couple receives a $500 voucher to use in their personal cloud-based store to produce and print whatever products they want.

I maintain a hands-off approach with the selection of the images, leaving it entirely to the couples to choose their favorite pictures, even if they differ from my personal selection. I have created a slideshow video of my favorite images from each wedding I covered in 2022, in case anyone is interested.

To encourage more participation, I offer a cash prize of AU$100 to a randomly chosen voter after the voting period ends. To maintain fairness, I have an anti-duplicate detection system in place to deter any cheating or duplicate voting. This year, I am also adding an extra entry to the draw for anyone who shares their vote on social media.

Please note that sharing on social media is not mandatory to submit a vote, as not everyone has social media accounts. However, in past contests, the winning image has been the most voted and shared on social media. Therefore, every individual vote and share counts and goes into the draw to win the cash prize.

So, vote for your favorite photo and share it on Facebook to show your support. Remember, each vote and share is a chance to win the AU$100 cash prize.
