A Winter Woodland Same Sex Pre Wedding Shoot

20/03/2015 No Comments

One of our favourite types of pre wedding shoot has to be a woodland walk in evening light, and as big animal lovers (that’s we love animals a lot, as opposed to actual big ones, although Lina will squeal if she sees a Bernese Mountain Dog), we get very excited when we know dogs are coming along. As you’ll see from this glorious shoot these two gorgeous little spaniels had a whale of a time, and we had a great time with Mandy and Sarah too! Shooting in winter is such a joy when you get these bluebird days, and

Why you DON’T want Gary Barlow to sing at your wedding…

16/01/2015 No Comments

A simple tweet on the 3rd January from Gary Barlow; Naturally this started a social media frenzy. Gary Barlow, sentimental lead singer of 90s boy band legends Take That, reinvented as mature husband-types in the noughties, would like to sing at three fans weddings. The ultimate wedding singer, right? Two more tweets followed in the next minute. ‘The only deal is they have to be HUGE fans.’ The third tweet I read as a bit sinister. ‘And all you have to do is stalk me on here.’ Am I the only one that reads that with Gary Barlow doing a

It’s Our Turn: Choosing a Photographer

16/04/2014 No Comments

As I mentioned in my first post about our wedding planning, who would do our photography was the million dollar question when we got engaged. Everyone asked the question, and we would just shake our heads looking slightly baffled at the task we had head of us. We knew it would  be a tough job for us, but actually choosing a photographer has easily been the toughest job so far in our wedding planning. We know it is a saturated market out there. Wedding photographers are ten a penny, really good ones who actually care about your wedding, not just

It’s Our Turn: Finding the Wedding Dress…

21/03/2014 No Comments

Following on from my post about the slightly frustrating task of finding our wedding venue, I figured I should tackle the subject of finding my dress next as it seems just as hot a topic as finding our wedding photographer. Of course, finding the dress has been more fun, and delightfully surprising actually, as I was never one of those girls who dreamt of her wedding dress as a young girl. I was convinced as a teen I would never meet ‘the one’, that things like that didn’t happen to girls like me, so I never really considered it. Warning,

It’s our turn: The first step in our wedding planning – the venue!

07/03/2014 No Comments

One thing I truly love about my job is the ability to help couples with their wedding planning. My brain is like Pinterest, filled with huge amounts of wedding related knowledge, not just about wedding photography, but also wedding dress designers, music, schedules, venues, favours, decor, hair and make-up… you get the picture! So following our engagement in Iceland in January, we are now wedding planning. It should be easy right? Many people have said to us ‘Oh I bet you’re all sorted and know exactly what you want.’ That and ‘Who will do your wedding photos?!’ Well the answer

It’s our turn: we’re wedding planning too after our Northern Lights proposal!

03/02/2014 No Comments

Last week we spent an an amazing five days in glorious southern Iceland celebrating Tom’s birthday. I’d surprised him with a trip staying at the fabulous Hotel Ranga, and filled the week with exciting private tours, so we would have a great week together, and not be too disappointed if the famous Northern Lights – the Aurora Borealis – didn’t show. Well we were very excited when the hotel told us they were showing after dinner on Tuesday night, and got all our cold weather gear on to go out and enjoy the light show amongst a sky of glorious
