Gracious Photography scoops Lux 2019 Cotswold Wedding Photographer of the Year

The coveted award category celebrates the best wedding photographers in the region

Abul Shah, owner of Gracious Photography, has been named 2019 Cotswold Wedding Photographer of the Year in the Lux Life Magazine Wedding Industry Awards. 

The annual awards - which are now in their second year - serve to recognise the industry's top talent in the UK and internationally. The winners are decided upon following a three-month process of nominations and deliberations by a panel of expert judges. 

Abul's natural and candid wedding photography style caught the eye of the judges with his creative and artistic approach clear to see. 

Abul, who is based in Cheltenham, said: “This is a really special moment for me, particularly since I relocated from North London to the Cotswolds purely because of the wedding industry here, not to mention the stunning venues.

"It’s difficult to explain the hard work that goes on behind the scenes for a wedding photographer," he continues. "But every single wedding means so much to me and winning this award for doing something I’m so passionate about is a dream come true.”
