Hitchin wedding photographer named wedding photographer of the year

Rafe Abrook showing off his new award

Rafe Abrook Photography is a Hitchin based wedding photographer who has recently won The Wedding Business Awards National Wedding Photographer of the Year.

The process began by asking for 2019 clients to agree to submit testimonials to the judges' panel. Each category entrant had to have a minimum number of client responses to get through to the second round. Here regional categories were created, including the East of England where Rafe Abrook Photography was included. 

The judges’ panel then scored each supplier on all aspects of their business by looking at the testimonials submitted, quality of their website and social media channels amongst others. As the winner of its region, Rafe Abrook Photography progressed through to the national finals and emerged as the overall victor. Owner Rafe Abrook says, "As it’s my first National Wedding Award, it all came as a delightful surprise. My wonderful clients last year were the key to making this happen as they took the time to write some kind words for me!"
