Wedding Creative category: Jake Thomas

Jake Thomas, an Australian expat now living in New Zealand, was named this year’s winner in the Wedding Creative category, for his striking set of innovative wedding shots. The Creative category allows for images created outside of the official wedding event and permits for more experimentation with composite and post-production techniques.
