All the latest from the region CHARLOTTE ELIZABETH PHOTOGRAPHY SCOOPS THE WIN! The North of England Wedding Awards recognise businesses in the wedding industry which go the extra mile for their customers, providing outstanding service and inspiring their customers to want to actively and positively promote them. Each year, hundreds of companies enter into the awards. Votes are submitted in their thousands. From these votes finalists are created, and the winners are normally announced at York Racecourse. This year, Charlotte Elizabeth Photography scooped Best Photographer. Here, Charlotte tells us more about the night... “This year I can say that I’m a North of England Wedding Award winner in the Yorkshire Photographer category. There were so many amazing photographers in the running this year, it was a complete shock when my name was called out on the night. I’ve entered a few different wedding awards over the years, but this one is my favourite. It’s free to enter – the only cost involved is going to the awards evening (which is optional) – and it’s fair. The judges take into account the comments written by couples as well as the scores given, which means that if all the photographers entered shoot a different amount of weddings, we all have an equal chance of winning.” Visit: https://charlotteelizabethphotography.com Berry’s Jewellers double win The UK awards, organised by watch industry title WatchPro, was a spectacular gala dinner in Central London.
