What is your most memorable wedding?
A local low budget wedding in Herne Bay Lent where we felt like part of the family. The couple were married by their mother and the photos were in the local park and family garden. The pre wedding shoot was local as well even though the couple live in the midlands. Their album is special to us and it is to them. There were no WoW shots at this wedding but the photos were honest and beautiful just like the couple and their children.
