Welcome to Round Three of the PKIR awards, the third round for 2025. A massive thanks to the judges for Round three: Erica Hawkins | Kristof Claeys | Phil Salisbury

We are absolutely thrilled to announce the winners of Round Three of the Photographers Keeping It Real Awards 2025! Photographers Keeping it Real looks to continue to push the documentary wedding photography world and award only the very best images with less than 5% of all entries winning an award this round! A very well done to everyone. The standard of entries was extremely high with images needing at least two of the three judges to select it to win.

If you didn’t win this round, remember the judges change each round, next round will also have five judges so if you believe in an image, please keep submitting it and well done for putting yourself and your work out there. The judges told me the standard was so high that it was a real challenge. And remember we still have 2 rounds to go in 2025 so it’s all to play for.

The best wedding photographers are keeping it real!
