Greenville, SC -- (SBWire) -- 03/05/2013 --Josh Jones of J. Jones Photography, based in Greenville, SC, was recently named by the South Carolina Association of Wedding Photographers (SCAWP) as the "2012 South Carolina Wedding Photographer of the Year" at their annual state wide contest held this year in Columbia, SC.

Each year dozens of wedding photographers across South Carolina submit a portfolio of twenty images taken over the previous year. The portfolios are kept anonymous and are critiqued by an award-winning panel of judges based on both technical excellence and emotional impact. The overall winner of the judging each year is named "South Carolina Wedding Photographer of the Year." All photographs must be taken in the previous year and must be an original capture (not a compilation of images).

Josh Jones lead photographer for J. Jones Photography, said “It is a complete honor to be awarded such a title. My thanks goes out to my talented wife Debra for all her help assisting me at weddings, the amazing skill God has given me, and of course all the awesome couples that I've had the chance to work with over the past year.”
