We have literally photographed 100s of weddings and everyone is memorable in its own way, but across the years - a groom arriving on a horse, tearful speech by an adoring dad as the bride had gone into remission from cancer, hilarious bridesmaids, beautiful sunsets, all weddings need is to be personal and they are all beautiful
Fine art, Editorial, creative but still story-telling
Being us, people recommend us for being creative, friendly and personable, yet still creating beautiful memories
Be true yourself, you dont have to do anything unless its right for you two
Photographs in golden hour, sometimes just after dinner, youre both more relaxed and it always give us the best couple shots
Umbrellas and a smile, dont worry about it - some of my favourite weddings have had a bit of rain, this summer on a particularly wet wedding the bride and groom literally laughed their way through the vows as they could see the rain coming down. It wasnt what they had planned - but by having good humour it didn't spoil a thing and then in the evening the rain cleared the clouds as we got the most amazing sunset. And you know what you can hardly tell from the photographs
I did a photography A-level at school, but from that went onto to do a design degree but on leaving university I took further photography courses, and inspired by friends lack lustre wedding photographs 11 years ago I thought perhaps I could do better
