Experience
What is your most memorable wedding?
Where do we start?! We've been to so many weddings it would be impossible to pick a favourite. We do have a few notable moments which we have captured over the years: sparklers in Warwick Castle, choirs in beautiful Cathedrals, and every time one of our Brides does a speech!

What about your business are you most proud of?
Always our couples. Seeing the wedding plans come together and getting to capture everything our couples have planned for their day, the smiles on their faces, and those moments where you can see it all sinking in as they take a look around at all of their loved ones who came to celebrate their love - that gets us every time and it's something that even after 9 years capturing weddings, still makes us emotional.
What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Our main one, that we actively encourage - This is YOUR wedding, not anybody else's. Nobody gets to tell you what you should do, it is your love that you're celebrating, your journey, you are spending the money so you get to decide what to do. When it comes to tradition, sometimes it's easy to forget that you don't have to do any traditional things, you can if you would like to, but you really don't have to if it adds extra stress or cost to your wedding day. We'll never tell you what to do, but we have captured 200+ weddings, and we're always happy to share what we've seen!
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
Having your dog at your weddings, it's the best thing and it's always so sweet seeing how happy the couple are to see their dog. If only we could find a way to have our cats attend our own wedding day...
