“WeddingSutra Photography Awards is a natural extension of our vision to inspire and honor the best in
wedding photography and we now look forward to ensuring that wedding photography in India has a strong global platform and is always recognized as a creative,
exciting profession,” says Parthip Thyagarajan, CEO WeddingSutra.com.
George and Stam of With Heart Films shared their experience of evaluating the entries, “We really enjoyed
watching the films as they transported us to beautiful locations with heart-warming people and a strong sense of tradition came out strongly through most of
the entries.”
Wedding Photographer and member of our jury, Nirav Patel says, “Going through the images was an absolute
joy for me. It was inspiring and refreshing to see so many unique vantage points. When I was looking through the photos, I looked for emotional connection,
uniqueness, use of light & composition, consistency throughout imagery & storytelling ability, and post-processing skills. I hope photographers will
consider these factors when submitting images to the awards.”
Italy-based jury member, Sara Sganga says, “The entries this year demonstrated a very high level of skills
and it was a difficult decision to pick the best of the best. I really enjoyed the experience and fell in love with Indian Weddings.”
