Armenian photographer Armen Hambardzumian, who has been living in Lyon, France since 2016, has received the prestigious award from the International Society of Professional Wedding Photographers (ISPWP).

“It is these lively and unpredictable moments that make a ceremony truly unforgettable,” said the author of the touching image that earned him recognition.

The ISPWP brings together the world’s best wedding photographers, who undergo a rigorous professional selection process and demonstrate a high level of skill, experience, and commitment to standards in creating photographs that become family heirlooms.

In 2025, Hambardzumian had already achieved a major victory at the International Wedding Photographer of the Year (IWPOTY) competition, where he won first place in the “Black & White” category.
