This award is Mark’s seventh IOV award and sixth successive year to be ranked amongst the top 5 in Europe for his wedding films. Mark Stuart’s entry this year, Lynne and Kevin’s Wedding Day Film, was one of only five short-listed titles within the Wedding category – which is a significant achievement in itself. Judges were not only looking for exceptional video production standards, but also originality and creative flair which demonstrate the value to customers of commissioning a professional videographer.
