Bird Landing on Bride’s Head During Vows Wins International Photo Award
A photo of a saucy bird interrupting a wedding ceremony by perching itself on top of the bride’s head as the couple were saying their vows has taken home the top prize in the International Wedding Photographer of the Year competition.
Tara Lilly was shooting Mikaela and Mitch’s wedding in a remote location on a mountaintop in Whistler, Canada when a curious whisky jack landed on Mikaela’s head just as Mitch had started saying his vows.
“I’m Snow White!” Mikaela cried out. The hilarious moment earned Lilly the title of 2023 International Wedding Photographer of the Year after she entered the photo into the “Single Capture” category.
Lilly saw off a host of talented photographers and will receive a share of the $3,000 prize pool and products from the competition’s sponsors.
This is the seventh International Wedding Photographer of the Year Awards which is based in Adelaide, Australia. More information can be found on the competition’s website.
