Being awarded a prestigious accolade such as the Australian Institute of Professional Photography’s wedding photographer of the year once in a career is meritorious; to receive the award three times in a four-year span is a ringing endorsement of the high regard in which his peers hold Rocco’s craftsmanship.
Rocco Ancora claimed the AIPP award in 2004, 2006, and 2007 and he has also featured prominently in WPPI’s awards list. And an additional accolade he prizes is the Ilford Trophy for the highest scoring monochrome print in Australia, which he claimed in 2007 and also voted as one of the top Three wedding photographers in Australia in 2008 & 2009 by Capture Magazine. Rocco has become one of Australia’s prominant wedding and portrait photographers due to his creative talents and his ability to master and harness the potential of technical aspects of photography.
