Image IQ was thrilled to once again be chosen to photograph the prestigious BAVO Volunteer Achievement Awards, held at the beautiful Heronstone Hotel. This event is a highlight of the year, celebrating the incredible dedication and selfless contributions of volunteers across the Bridgend community. It’s always an inspiring evening, and we were honored to capture the magic of the event.
The evening was a true testament to the power of volunteerism, with so many deserving individuals recognized for their hard work and commitment. The charismatic Lee Jukes from Bridge FM kept the energy high as the host, while Councillor Huw David, Bridgend Mayor John McCarthy, and Huw Irranca-Davies were on hand to present awards and celebrate these community champions.
Our photographers were there to capture all the key moments, including:
- The Award Presentations: We documented the emotional and heartwarming award presentations, capturing the joy and pride of the recipients as their contributions were recognized.
- Guest Interactions: We captured candid moments of guests celebrating together, showcasing the strong sense of community and support at the event.
- Formal Portraits: We also took formal portraits of the award winners, capturing their achievements for posterity.
- The Atmosphere: We aimed to capture the overall atmosphere of the evening, from the elegant setting at The Heronstone Hotel to the genuine warmth and appreciation felt throughout the room.
These images will serve as a lasting record of the incredible work of the volunteers and the positive impact they have on the Bridgend community.
