Becky and Claire publish in Marie Claire

Clare Struthers and Becky Matthews traveled to Uganda in January 2009 to cover the seminal mass wedding of six Acholi tribes women in an Internally Displaced Persons camp in Pader. The wedding was possible thanks to the generous donation of 54 wedding dresses by brides from Lancashire. This act of generosity acts as a symbol of hope for a community ripped apart by two decades of civil war.

Their story is being told in this month's (October) edition of Marie Claire magazine pages 19, and 124-128. Unfortunately the magazine managed to omit Clare's byline but this was a joint project from start to finish.

The image is from the series "My Big Fat Ugandan Wedding" has also won a "Highly Commended" in the "Quality of Life" category of the CIWEM’s Environmental Photographer of the Year 2009 competition. The work will be exhibited at the Bedfordbury Gallery in London's Covent Garden before going on tour around the country.
