Announcing the SvenStudios 2023 Wedding Photo of the year winner!

I’m pleased to say that after another year of shooting weddings in Adelaide and around Australia, I can announce the people’s choice 2023 wedding photo of the year as shot by SvenStudios!

The photographs that were in conntention this year here were captured by SvenStudios during various weddings in 2022. The featured couples selected these specific images as their top favorites from all of the images we provided and the photograph that received the highest votes is entitled to a product voucher worth $500 towards printing some of their photos!

This competition is a way for us to express our gratitude to all the bridal couples we have worked with during the year, while also gathering feedback on how others perceive our photography beyond our own perspective.

Please note that these photographs may or may not align with our personal favorites from the weddings – which is kind of the point of running this contest – it’s all about learning what people like! While feedback and reviews are fantastic – there nothing like having a favourite image from each wedding given to us to understand what people see in our work!

The 2023 Wedding Photo of the year winner is –

Congratulations to Sash and Dan for winning the 2023 Wedding Photo of the year! You should have now recieved a $500 voucher to go towards some prints! I’d love to see what you choose!

2022 Onkaparinga Business Awards Winner!

Last night I attended the 2022 Onkaparinga Business Awards presentation event hosted at the Mclaren Vale visitor center and by the lovely ladies behind Adelady. I expected to head out there, enjoy the free food, gin and icecream, then head home after rubbing shoulders with the owners of the best businesses the Onkaparinga region has to offer.

lo and behold I actually managed to win my category! SvenStudios was crowned as the ‘best artist, musician or creator’ in the city of Onkaparinga for 2022, and it’s all thanks to everyon who voted!

The award is given to the most voted for business in any given category – SvenStudios’ category being ‘Captivating creative services’ and then all the voted for businesses are given sub categories. So thankyou everyone who voted! Means a lot!

SvenStudios with adelady

SvenStudios was originally placed in the ‘Marketing, Design and Media’ category, but then was changed to the ‘Artist, Musician or Creator’ category, which suited what I do better as the other finalists in the formaer category seemed to cater more towards other businesses, and corperate clients, while I focus on domestic photography, for familes and of course weddings!

I believe this was the first year where the awards has a specific category for artsists, or creators so it’s pretty awesome to win it at the 2022 Onkaparinga Business Awards! I had been entering and trying to agther votes over the past few years but never got to be a finalist until last night!

These past few years have been insanely hectic and stressful in the wedding industry, but everything is coming up Milhouse today!

Announcing the 2022 Wedding Photo of the Year winner!

Each year I run my wedding photo of the year contest as a bit of a thankyou to all my newly wed couples from the previous year – in this case all the images in the contest were taken during 2021 weddings and the images were chosen by the couple themselves as their favourite from their entire album.

It’s very interesting to see what people choose as their favourite image from their day as often – but not always – very different to what I would have chosen myself!

The 2022 Wedding Photo of the Year winner!

Announcing the Winner of the 2021 Wedding Photo of the Year

Once again, my annual wedding photo of the year contest has come to a close and once again the record number of votes cast has been smashed with no fewer than 649 votes being cast!

Due to the international nature of some of the weddings I covered in 2020 – despite COVID restrictions – a record number of international votes weree also recorded, with only 417 of the votes originating in Australia!

I run my annual photo of the year contest as a bit of a thankyou to all of the wedding couples that had chosen me as their wedding photographer in the past year, and it also allows me to learn a little bit about what my past couples see as their best photo from their wedding photography collection. their selection is always interesting to me as it may not have been my personal favourite from their wedding day – but it really isn’t my choice that matters!

Winner of the 2021 Wedding Photo of the Year

Jayne Pete

Jayne and Pete held their wedding at the wonderful Paxton Winery in Mclaren vale right at the beginning of all the COVID nonsense that has rocked the world. In fact i seem to remember that COVID restrictions in SA were put in place within days of their wedding – possibly the very next day – I’m not sure.

With a strong overseas contingent in their guest list, I had heard stories of everyone making a mad dash back home a bit sooner than expected!

Jayne and Pete were super lucky to have hosted possibly the last ‘normal’ wedding of 2020, and now they – with the help of their friends and family’s votes – have won a $500 gift voucher to spend on whatever they like in my online shop!
