This was a wedding which took place in 2013 between Laura and Kevin. The ceremony was at a registry office and the reception was at Laura's parents home; in their back garden. It was a real fairy-tale wedding because of the reception. Laura, Kevin and Laura's parents had put an enormous amount of thought and effort into everything, such that it made it a magical day and a fantastic place to photograph the bride and groom and their guests! It's one I will never forget and photos of it can be seen on my website.
Traditional but modern, unobtrusive and friendly but professional.
Being able to help happy couples make memories of their special day.
Relax and let the Love carry you through.
Sliced tree trunk pieces with personal messages painted on them and scattered around the reception to each other between the bride and groom about the wedding day.
We meet up 6-8 weeks before the wedding at the latest. We have a look at previous weddings I have photographed and discuss the sort of thing they want. We then have an engagement or pre-wedding shoot to become familiar and comfortable with each other before the big day.
A special photograph with just the couple in, in a special setting and in a loving pose.
A pair of ladies shoes discarded on the floor at a wedding reception; presumably new shoes which were not as comfortable as they expected them to be!
Try to get photos indoors, but also try to get some special shots in the rain with umbrellas, or similar
I started photography as a hobby when I was at school, over 40 years ago; for many years I had my own darkroom and processed all my own photographs. But now everything is digital, processing no longer involves a darkroom!
