World’s Best Wedding Photos: The Impeccable Portrait

by Jacki Bruniquel | Aug 3, 2020 | Awards-Press-Tearsheets, Awards/Published/Press, For Photographers

Just before the crazy Coronocoaster hit the world I received a very exciting invite, but then the world went mad and I forgot to tell you all about it!

I was invited to be a part of an international wedding directory which recognises the best wedding photographers in the world. This is run by the incredible Blair DeLaubefels who started Junebug weddings. Some of my photography idols are on this list so I was blown away to be included and am at present the only South African on the directory.

They recently ran a competition titled The Impeccable Portrait and I decided to enter. I don’t actually enter many competitions besides the Fearless photographers awards when I remember. So I was very honoured when I received an email from Blair which said : “After days of deliberation your work stood out from the crowd and our iconic judges chose 3 of your attached portraits as three of the 50 Best Wedding Portraits of the Decade!”

Wow! Thanks so much to the judges and thanks to my amazing clients!

Admired in Africa Photographer of 2013!!!

by Jacki Bruniquel | Oct 16, 2013 | Awards-Press-Tearsheets

Anyone that knows me well knows that I am my own harshest critic when it comes to my photography. I am always pushing myself to create images that are better than the last time.

Admired in Africa is an invitation only wedding directory that profiles the best wedding photographers in Africa. This year they held their first photographic competition and contestants were asked to enter photographs into various categories ranging from Bride Alone to Action Shot to Reception. I am not naturally a competitive person. In fact I hate any kind of competitive game. However, photographic competitions are a great way of learning and improving one’s work, so I sent in a couple of photographs and promptly forgot about it.

Whilst trying to sign into the dodgy Mauritian internet last week I got an email saying I had won ……THE WHOLE THING! Yip I was awarded Admired in Africa’s top photographer of 2013!

It was a huge and very lovely surprise and a great pat on the back. I also won the Reception category and was placed in a few of the other categories.

I would like to give a great big thanks to all the organisers and judges. I am very proud to be included on this prestigious site.

Here is a link to my profile on Admired in Africa and here is a link to the competition results.

Below you will find the images that I entered.
