Apex, NC — February 19, 2009 – Pure Expressions Photography, an Apex-based studio, was awarded the 2009 Bride’s Choice Awards by WeddingWire, the nation’s leading wedding technology company.

In its inaugural year, the Bride’s Choice Awards recognizes and honors vendors from the WeddingWire Network that demonstrate excellent quality of service, responsiveness, professionalism, value of cost and flexibility. This year’s recipients represent the top three percent of WeddingWire’s vendor community, which includes over 100,000 wedding vendors from across the US. Pure Expressions Photography was honored as one of the very best studios for wedding photography.

Unlike other awards in which winners are selected by the company, the Bride’s Choice Awards are determined exclusively by recent newlyweds through surveys and reviews.

“We are excited to launch this annual award program to honor high-performing vendors based solely on the experiences of our WeddingWire community,” according to Timothy Chi, WeddingWire’s Chief Executive Officer. “This year’s recipients have set the bar high, exhibiting excellent service and expertise in the wedding industry.”

“Our studio was honored with a 2008 Best of the West award as well as the Apex Chamber of Commerce’s 2008 Small Business of the Year Award. To add an award that is specific to our wedding services in 2009 is an absolute honor! We’re excited to have been selected among the top 3%,” notes Aimee Bickers, Apex resident and owner of Pure Expressions Photography.

Pure Expressions Photography represents the photographic, creative and artistic vision of Apex resident Aimee Bickers. Using a casual, conversational and observational approach, the studio photographs pregnant moms, brides walking down the aisle, and everything in between, in the Apex based studio and on-location.
