Hide AdBallymoney’s Peter Crymble has jsut won the accolade of NI Pet Photographer of the year at last week’s 2019 PPANI Awards - for the third year in a row.
Former Dalriada School student Peter said: “Third year in a row! I am absolutely delighted. Thank you to all the beautiful pets that come to the studio each week.
“Sometimes we get shy dogs, nervous rescue pets but plenty of very energetic pets to. No matter what, we always try to get the most out of each and every session,” said Peter, who also took home the Portrait Photographer of the Year award for 2019.
The family photography studio, based in Duncrue Industrial Estate in Belfast, grew from the living room of Peter’s home to a two floor purpose built studio.

Stacey said: “We fall in love with so many dogs each week and although photographing them can be a challenge, it is so rewarding. We get to know the character of the dog before picking up the camera.
“Whether they are hyper or cuddly, we aim to use our dynamic and fine art lighting to capture their unique personalities,” added Stacey.
