A Wrexham-based wedding photographer is in the frame for a prestigious national award, having already snapped an honour for his work.
Ioan Said, from Wrexham-based Celynnen Photography, received a gold award for his work in contemporary wedding photography from the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers (SWPP).
He is one of only 19 photographers to be honoured by the society, which has more than 6,000 members.
The accolade has put him in the running for one of the SWPP's top prizes, the winner of which will be announced at a glittering event in London.
Ioan, who is originally from Canada, has lived in Wrexham for four years.
Commenting on the award, he said: "I'm over the moon about it all. I've totally fallen in love with the region and its people.
"My wife is Welsh, our company name is Welsh and we got our first gold working with a wonderful couple from South Wales, shooting in one of the region's most spectacular venues.
"So it's only fair that we share our first ever gold prize with the country that has been so good to me since I first arrived."
