The NineDots Gathering is an annual super awesome boutique conference for 150 like-minded wedding photographers. Adam Johnson, Andy Gaines, Mick Shah and Rahul Khona have crafted an experience which has the perfect blend of inspiring keynote presentations, practical teaching in mini masterclasses, access to our resident industry experts, a (very competitive!) ping-pong competition, and an epic after party!

All attendees are asked to submit three of their favourite images from the year. The top 20 were selected by the NineDots creators, and they were up on the wall in print for everyones arrival. I saw the images up when I sat down for the first talk by the very inspiring Daniel and Davina, but it wasn't until I was finished wiping a tear from my eye from their emotional talk that I did a double take and realised that one of my images had been selected as a finalist. Prompt a few more tears!!

It means so much to me that my image was picked by such incredible photographers!! ... and I literally can't wait for next year's NineDots event : )
