A MANNINGTREE-BASED photographer has been highly commended in the Essex Wedding Awards.

Kerrie Mitchell scooped the accolade in the photography section of the awards for 2019.

She said: “I’ve always shied away from entering awards as there is so much talent in the county - but this year decided to enter on a whim. I was so overwhelmed when I heard the news. I’m so lucky to work with such fun and happy couples who plan beautiful wedding days, it really doesn’t feel like a job to be capturing the memories for them.”

Kerrie launched her business in 2010 and has photographed about 200 weddings.
