WedAward Collection #120 Winner

Awards & Accolades

Hi, I'm Sofia Bianco, a photographer and brand content creator based on the Amalfi Coast. So glad you're here.

We’re incredibly excited to share that two of our images have been selected in WedAward Collection #120—a global wedding photography competition that continues to challenge and inspire photographers from all corners of the world.

Out of 2,121 submissions from 11 countries, only 88 photographs were selected. To have not just one but two of our images featured in this round is something we’re truly grateful for. You can also view our earlier wins in WedAward Collection #117 and WedAward Collection #115 to see how our work has evolved.

Why This Matters

Recognition like this is never the goal—but it’s a meaningful reminder that the way we see and feel things through the lens resonates beyond the wedding day. Our mission has always been to capture honest, emotional, fleeting moments—the kind you want to relive again and again. It’s never about creating something perfect. It’s about creating something real.

We’re constantly inspired by the couples who trust us to tell their stories. Whether it’s a sun-soaked rooftop ceremony like Angie & Jack’s wedding in Jersey City or a tear-filled first look tucked behind a church corner, the moments we chase are never staged—they’re felt.

The Two Winning Images

📸 Image One – “The Quiet Kiss”

WedAward Collection #120 winning image by Nicholas Yee Photography. A romantic, black-and-white photo of a bride and groom sharing a kiss in a dimly lit space, captured with emotion and timeless elegance.


This black-and-white frame was taken in a dimly lit hallway just after the ceremony. No guests, no music—just the couple, alone, finally taking it in. We stepped back, gave them space, and let the shadows and silence do the rest. The result is a photo that feels cinematic, yet deeply personal.

📸 Image Two – “Light Through the Veil”

The second image was taken on the steps of a church just after the ceremony. Karolina & JJ kissed while her veil caught the breeze—lifting at just the right moment to frame them. No choreography, no countdown. Just real emotion and a little bit of luck with the wind.

Behind the Award

This round of WedAward brought together artists from countries like Canada, Germany, France, Israel, Greece, and the United States. To be included among that calibre of international talent pushes us to keep growing—not for the sake of awards, but for the couples who invite us into their lives for one of the most personal days they’ll ever experience.

And while we love sharing these wins, the true reward has always been in the work. It’s the trust you give us to capture the laughter, the nerves, the hugs, the quiet hand squeezes, the dance floor madness. That’s where the gold is.
