We’re absolutely over the moon to announce that Justin Krause Photography & Film has been nominated for The Wedding Industry Awards! This incredible recognition comes from one of our recent brides, Chloe Cable, and it’s such an honor to be considered. Chloe and her husband Matt were kind enough to nominate us, sharing how much they appreciated Justin’s relaxed and friendly approach on their wedding day. Chloe mentioned how at ease Justin made everyone feel and how he captured their special day perfectly, which is exactly what we strive for with every wedding!
The Wedding Industry Awards (TWIA) showcase the best professionals across the UK. These awards are designed to give couples confidence when booking suppliers, knowing they’re hiring the best of the best. Winning or even being nominated for such an award can be a great boost for wedding vendors, as it highlights the trust and satisfaction past clients have felt. For prospective brides and grooms, seeing that a photographer or any other supplier is nominated for, or has won, a TWIA award signals quality, reliability, and professionalism—factors that are so important when planning such a momentous occasion.
That said, we do have some mixed feelings about the entry process for the awards. While it’s truly humbling to be nominated, these awards come with an entry fee of £100, reduced to £80 thanks to Chloe and Matt's kind nomination. We’re still undecided about entering because, to be fully transparent, paying to enter an award doesn’t quite sit right with us. As we candidly shared with our community on Facebook, "there's something about paying to enter an award that seems off and doesn't sit well with me." Though we understand that running awards costs time and money, with event expenses and trophies needing to be covered, we feel that having sponsors or charging for physical trophies is a better way or risk being viewed as paying to win an award. Paying upfront just to be in the running feels a bit odd.
Regardless of whether we enter, we’re super chuffed to have been nominated, and we couldn’t be more grateful to Chloe and Matt for their kind words and support. It means the world to us that our work is appreciated, and their nomination has given us a real boost of energy and motivation.
Thank you so much for believing in what we do!
