Iceland on the Green List - The best option for Wedding Elopement from the UK

Consider a unique Iceland destination wedding or incredible Honeymoon

11/05/2021 No Comments

Iceland Destination Wedding Planning The hotly anticipated Green list of no restriction travel was announced on Friday in the UK, signalling a hopeful return of holidays, exploring new cultures and of course, the possibility of a destination wedding.   Whilst the list had its omissions causing disappointment (rumour had it that the Balearics and one of our faves Ibiza would be on there but alas, not to be just yet), it does contain some wonderful options if you want to elope or have an intimate wedding, and in particular our beloved Iceland is ready to welcome us all with open arms!

Why are we qualified to give you 10 top tips for your wedding planning? On July 4th we celebrated 10 years since our first wedding as the official photographer.

Regularly we’ve attended conferences, workshops

Why use a wedding planner? 5 key reasons from wedding planners R&F Weddings

14/01/2018 No Comments

We’ve been lucky to shoot a vast number of weddings over our nine years as wedding photographers, and one of the biggest changes we’ve seen to the industry is a wealth of new and exciting places to have a wedding day. You may be eyeing up dancing the night away in that warehouse space, or maybe a beautifully vintage village hall wedding is your dream. One thing is for certain, if you are not getting married in a traditional venue, having some sort of connection with a wedding planner is pretty essential in our books, and many of you have

Happy Valentine’s Day all. Whether you are someone who is loved up and enjoying the day with your beloved, or if you’re still fancy free I hope you’re taking the time to feel hopeful for all the loved ones you do have in your life.

You can see our lovely photographer Albert’s blog here if you want a peek of how our day panned out. But with this job, our clients always come first, and there is always another wedding

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
