2023 WAY UP NORTH AWARDS
9 PHOTO CONTESTS, EACH CELEBRATING 10 EXCEPTIONAL WINNERS
The 2023 Way Up North Awards just concluded with a thrilling awards ceremony in Florence! This year’s competition was particularly fierce, showcasing outstanding talent from our European wedding photography community.
Firstly, immense thanks to Imagen for their steadfast support of the 2023 awards. Their involvement, especially in assembling a distinguished panel of judges including Mari Trancoso, Roberto Panciatici, Chami Pena-Patel, and Mónika Frías, was invaluable. Thank you for the continued support!
This year, every entry was work from actual weddings in 2023, with a special category for Non-Wedding photos, celebrating the broader skills of our photographers. Impressively, all winners are based in Europe, highlighting the rich talent within our community.
Congratulations to all the winners! Your creativity and dedication have truly raised the bar for European wedding photography.
