✨ I'M A FINALIST! ✨
Well this is a lovely wee bit of news! ❤
Absolutely delighted to say that Mark Barnes Photography is a finalist for Photographer of the Year at the National Wedding Industry Awards 2026! 📸🏆
I honestly never take stuff like this for granted. After over 20 years doing this, more than 1,000 weddings and god knows how many hours spent behind a camera and editing 😂 it still feels brilliant to get this kind of recognition and hoping to make it a hattrick!
I absolutely love what I do. I get to spend my weekends at weddings, surrounded by brilliant people, having the craic and wouldn't change it for the world!
But genuinely, this is down to the couples. Every single person who has trusted me to photograph their wedding, recommended me to someone, left a review, shared my work or simply followed along over the years. Thank you. ❤️
Voting is now open for the final and if you’ve used me, know me, like my work or just fancy giving me a wee vote, I’d really appreciate it.

And there’s an extra bit of craic…
Danielle is also a finalist for Celebrant of the Year! 😂❤️

So two wedding businesses, two finalists and absolutely no chance of either of us letting the other forget about it if one of us wins. 😂
Whatever happens, it’s pretty special to be finalists alongside each other.
Thanks again for all the support over the years. It genuinely means more than you know. Wish us luck! 🤞🏻❤️
