Relaxed, fun, natural, elegant, timeless
All of it! I still can't believe that I get to call this work!
I love natural wedding photos taken throughout the day so I don't think there is a No.1 photo. Plus every wedding is so different. Although I do always make sure to get a shot of you both standing side-by-side, looking at the camera with a huge grin - I call it the mantlepiece shot and it's mostly for your mums and grannies!
Rain on your wedding day is always a possibility, no matter the time of year. My advice is to plan for it, but don’t worry about it! Bring some wellies and a white umbrella on the day as a back up – it’s always better to have them and not need them than to be stuck with no options!
