everyone had a wooden heart they engraved with a personal message to the couple and took it in turns placing it in a jar. I also saw one where people came up during the wedding ceremony and placed a wooden block ontop of other wooden blocks to create a foundation for the new couple, that was lovely and got everyone involved in the service.

Describe how you got into photography.
I used to foster large breed dogs that were too big for kennels. Finding them homes was always troublesome due to the nature of a horse that barks! I used to live on a nature reserve and found that taking really nice welcoming images of the fur babies got them noticed and homed quicker. I bought my first camera to help with that and I got obsessed and ended up going to collage and Uni to do photography
