THIS eye-catching silhouette picture was won featured in an album which won Selby professional photographer Colin Wallwork the title of Yorkshire Wedding Photographer of the Year.

Colin, 43, who runs Wallwork's Photography Studio, in Finkle Street, Selby, was presented with the prestigious award at this year's Master Photographers Association awards evening.

He won the title with his complete wedding album for Jade Smith and Dan Sheahan, of Leeds, who were married at Whitburn, Tyne & Wear, followed by a reception at Seaham Hall, County Durham. It is the fourth time that Colin has been judged Yorkshire's top wedding photographer.

Judge and Association president Dennis Hylander said: "Colin's work showed sensitivity and versatility, together with a great understanding of body language.

"His control of people was excellent and the album showed good use of location and design." Colin, who was also runner-up in the Avant Garde Wedding section, said: "This is the award I go all out for every year. The complete album is what people are paying for, not just the lucky odd shot." His winning album will now be entered for the national awards, in October.
