Entries now open for QHotels Wedding Photo Awards 2017

Got a wedding photo worthy of an award? QHotels' Wedding Photo Awards 2017 are now accepting entries

QHotels has launched its annual search for the UK’s best wedding photos.

Now into its second year following a successful first year and 2,500 entries, the awards are now calling for entries in the 2017 competition.

Entry is open to the entire UK public - from professional photographers to wedding guests, who can submit their entries on Facebook and Instagram by using the hashtag #WeddingPhotoAwards along with the name of the category they wish to enter.

The winner of each category will receive a one-night break for two with dinner at one of QHotels’ 26 four-star hotels.

The 2017 Wedding Photo Award categories are:

• Best ‘first look’ photo
• Funniest wedding photo
• Best ‘perfect kiss’ photo
• Best ‘first dance’ photo
• Best ‘themed wedding’ photo

Entries will close on 3rd July when QHotels’ expert wedding panel will announce the shortlist for each category, before going to a public vote on social media to decide the winner.

QHotels’ director of marketing, Claire Rowland, launched the awards, saying: “We were overwhelmed by the response to the Wedding Photo Awards last year, with a fantastic range of entries, from photo-bombed selfies to comically-staged group shots and black and white imagery."

“This year we’re expecting to see brides and grooms-to-be get even more creative due to the influence of social media channels such as Instagram and Pinterest, which they turn to for wedding photography inspiration. We hope to see more wonderful and unique photography choices in the 2017 awards.”
