We understand that your Wedding day and arrangements are all about excitement, fun and memories.
My informal and relaxed approach captures these memories as, and when they happen throughout your day.
It's your day
I usually arange with you to arive two hours before your ceremony. I like to spend the first hour with the Bride, but don't worry, I don't expect you to be ready (where is the fun in that!) It is nice to meet with you, and your family whilst you share a drink or two, and prepare for your day. A few, informal photographs are taken of your preporations,and of course photos of your shoes, your dress and bridesmaids dresses, flowers, jewelery and even the odd champagne bottle!
On to the Groomsmen......
The second hour is spent with the Groom and Groomsmen. Often, we meet in a bar or public house close to your venue for a drink to 'calm the nerves' i am told! Again, a few, relaxed photographs are taken before we are on our way to your ceremony.
Your Ceremony
Photos are taken at your ceremony venue when your guests arrive, and with the permission of the officiant or registrar I shoot discreetly throughout your ceremony, only asking you to pose for the official signing of the register. Afterwards, greeting all of your family and friends is a great time to get some lovely, natural photographs before we start a few relaxed and fun group shots.
Group Photographs
Before your special day, it is a great idea to have a think of the group shots you would like. These can be written as a list for me to use on the day. This helps in a few ways. Firstly, I would hate for you to get to Monday morning, and realise that there were no photographs of your long distant auntie, who flew over especially for the day! and secondly, it means that these shots can be taken a little quicker, leaving you more time to enjoy your day. The groups shots are firstly taken using a more formal approach, then in a much more relaxed and fun style. The idea is that hopefully there will be something to suit all your guests.
Your Wedding breakfast and Speeches
Dont worry, I take a short break whilst you all eat, so no evidence of that second helping of dessert! But I return for your speeches to capture some lovely facial expressions of the speakers, and your guests. If you are nervous about your speach already, don't be. It is always the best man who is more nervous!
And lastly, cake cutting and your first dance
where I stay long enough to witness your guests 'throwing some shapes' before I dissapear and leave you all to enjoy the rest of what has been such a special day. If you are looking for evening entertainment, please

Afterwards
By the time you return from your honeymoon, I will have removed all of the photographs that just didn't work out, and would have put the rest on this website on a passworded page for you and your guests to see. There will also be a DVD slideshow with on average 350-400 images on, waiting for you on your front mat when you return home.
