Wedding Pros who are ready to grow - with Becca Pountney
About

Today I am taking you behind the scenes of TWIA (aka as the Wedding Industry Awards) with the founder Damian Bailey. As a wedding photographer himself he has set up the most successful wedding awards in the UK. Today I ask him the questions you all want to know the answers to, so you can decide if entering the awards is for you.

Entries close on Monday 23rd September, voting closes on Monday 30th September 2024.
