Awards & Recognition
Award entries push me to refine my craft and deliver you beautiful, creative and unique wedding day images.
I care about the craft of wedding photography.
DEDICATION, CREATIVITY & COMMITMENT
When your wedding photographer enters awards, it’s a sign they truly care about their craft—and about your day. These aren’t just glossy badges or industry pats on the back. They represent dedication, creativity, and a commitment to telling real love stories with authenticity and emotion.
As a couple, you want to know you’re in safe hands—someone who sees the small moments as clearly as the big ones, who understands light, connection, and storytelling. Award entries push photographers to refine their work, to look back at weddings like yours and pull out the most powerful, heartfelt frames. It’s a process that keeps them creatively sharp and always striving to deliver their best.
When I enter awards, it’s not about ego—it’s about celebrating your day in the wider world, honouring the beauty and emotion you shared. And if a single image from your wedding touches a judging panel, it’s because the connection you had was real and moving.
So, when your photographer enters their work, it’s not just their achievement—it’s yours too. A quiet little nod that your wedding day mattered, that it told a story worth sharing, and that it will continue to inspire beyond the day itself.
KIND WORDS
There’s a reason Damion has constant 5 star reviews and why I’m adding mine to the pool.

Love
ZOE + NICK
We can’t recommend him highly enough. Throughout the day, he effortlessly managed to connect with all members of our family and guests, making everyone feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. Damion’s organisation and structure were impeccable, yet he maintained a relaxed atmosphere that kept any stress at bay..
NATASHA + JAMIE
Could not speak more highly of Damion if I tried; from the very first introduction call, right through to our physical album being delivered everything just flowed so seamlessly. He was a breath of fresh air when planning, and made the whole process so simple.
AMY + PAOLO
We hired Damion and his assistant for our destination wedding in Italy. Choosing a photographer was the most important element for me as I wanted to be able to look back at photos of our wedding day and relive it! I did a lot of research, and came across Damion’s website. We booked a call with Damion, and were blown away by his professionalism and attention to detail.
