It’s about having fun right?

I’m sure everyone agrees when I say that your wedding day should be one of the happiest days of your life but…

After speaking with various people including clients I get the feeling that one element of the big day is missing…FUN! Don’t get confused between happiness and fun. I’ve never witnessed a day that hasn’t been happy but something that can feel is missing from some people when they are planning is including an element of fun (for themselves too!). It doesn’t have to be anything major or expensive but think of how everyone will remember your day and more importantly think of how YOU will remember the big day.

Matt and Nikita Mantle – their wedding photos

Such a beautiful and touching wedding. Matt & Nik have had a tough year so this was a very emotional wedding. Spirits were high as they celebrated the start of their married life and it was an honour to share the wedding day with them and capture the it for their memories.




A wedding photo trip down memory lane

That's real snow, no photoshop tricks

One of my favourite wedding photosI was clearing up my wedding photo hard drive and got side-tracked looking at some of the old wedding photos.

Like these photos, it was a cold day and had snowed the night before but suddenly it started snowing in the evening and we all went to “play” in the snow. The bride and groom loved it, the guests loved it (especially the kids) and I had brilliant fun capturing photos in the snow (Shivering did cause some blurred shots).

It dawned on me that as a photographer you can forget what happened on a wedding because we’re so busy. We edit the photos, export them, print them and give them to the client and move onto the next wedding.

Now imagine how it must be for the bride and groom. Their day must zoom by in the blink of an eye and apart from a few memories all they have is our wedding photographs.

The clients really rely on us wedding photographers to give them their memories and that’s a great feeling. They trust us, they chose us to share their special day and more importantly, they depend on us to capture their special moments.

It’s a huge honour to be chosen as wedding photographer and something I am proud to do.
