It’s always an incredible feeling to be recognized for doing what we love, but winning an award is even more special when the photograph that wins it is one that perfectly captures the essence of what we do as photographers. We’re thrilled to share that our image, “Seaside Embrace”, has been selected as the Wedisson Collection #130 Winner!

Out of 5,858 photographs submitted from 14 countries, only 149 images were chosen, and we are beyond grateful that “Seaside Embrace” made the cut. This recognition is especially meaningful because it reminds us why we do this work—capturing authentic moments, real emotion, and the intimate connections between our couples.

And as a bonus, this very same image also won a WedAward in WedAward Collection #124! It’s humbling to see our work celebrated not only for its technical excellence but for the emotional depth it conveys.

The Power of Simplicity

What makes “Seaside Embrace” so powerful isn’t just its composition or technical prowess—it’s the simplicity of the moment. Taken on a quiet beach, the image captures a couple sharing a tender kiss as the ocean stretches out behind them. The minimalist backdrop of sky and sea serves to amplify the intimacy between them, allowing the moment to speak for itself.

This photograph is proof that you don’t need extravagant settings or dramatic poses to create something meaningful. Sometimes, all it takes is a couple, a beautiful location, and an authentic, unguarded moment. The soft, cloudy skies and gentle waves only enhance the sense of timelessness in the photo, creating a moment that feels eternal.

We’ve always believed in the power of simplicity, and “Seaside Embrace” is a perfect example of why that approach resonates so deeply with us and with our couples. It’s about capturing the feeling behind the image—not just the image itself.

A Double Win: WedAward Collection #124 & Wedisson Collection #130

What makes this recognition even more special is that “Seaside Embrace” also took home an award in WedAward Collection #124! We were incredibly excited to see this image recognized by two prestigious photography competitions, as it reflects everything we aim for in our work: raw emotion, genuine connection, and timeless beauty.

Winning multiple awards for the same image is an honor, but the true value of this photo lies in the emotions it represents. To us, it’s the quiet moments that make a wedding day unforgettable. It’s those brief, intimate exchanges between two people in love that we aim to preserve with every shot.
