A WEDDING filmmaker said winning a prestigious national prize has been ‘a dream come true’.

Amor Media Productions, formed by Mujahaid Bin Jamshaid in Nelson, was named the UK’s best wedding videography company at the National British Asian Wedding Awards this month.

The company also picked up the best wedding videography company in the North prize.

Mr Jamshaid, 31, said: “It was a dream come true winning both awards, it was a deeply emotional moment for me.

“It is like winning an Oscar, something that I dreamt of when I began my journey back in 2009. There is some serious talent out there in the UK.

“There are exciting times ahead for us, being recognised as one of the UK’s best filmmakers no doubt gets the attention of a lot of top level companies.”

The company beat more than 500 nominated companies. The business was set up with the help of a £2,000 Pendle Business Support Grant.
