Relax! Keeping your day, all about you!
I start with bridal preparations in the morning capturing the pre-wedding nerves, excitement whilst your guests arrive and all your details with hair, make-up. Moving into your ceremony itself and all your key moments, not forgetting an epic confetti shower!
Then throughout the day, whilst your guests are enjoying sipping on prosecco and nibbling on canapés catching up with old Auntie Maureen and Uncle Bob they haven’t see in years, I try to be as discreet as possible to capture the congratulations, the laughs and natural special moments of your guests enjoying themselves. On my own wedding day I particularly loved these kind of shots as I found it so difficult to speak to everyone, that it was great to look back on the day in a photographic candid style.
The real You framed into a timeless portrait
After you’ve had chance to chat to your guests and have a few drinks, I will whisk you away for roughly 20 minutes! This is one of my favourite parts of the day where we go somewhere quiet and discreet giving you time together whilst I take some beautiful, natural photographs of you both in your first few hours of being newly weds.
