Hamish Irvine from Guiseley, who was named Yorkshire and North East England Wedding Photographer of the Year in November, went on to finish as runner-up in the national final of the 2026 Wedding Industry Awards. Hamish said: "The Yorkshire and North East regional honour was amazing. "There are so many great wedding photographers around, it's an honour for my work to be commended this way." A former Bradford Grammar School student and Leeds Arts University graduate, Hamish has been photographing weddings since he was 16. Client testimonials praised his work as energetic and deeply personal, with one couple writing: "If we had to build our very own wedding photographer from scratch, it would be Hamish."
