your day
Bridal Preparations
There is no better time to capture the feeling of the day than at the bridal preparations. It’s definitely my favourite part of the day. People are excited, nervous, happy, sad – just perfect for a journalistic or reportage style of photography. The photography is flexible, so we can shoot everything from breakfast in bed, or just keep it simple and have you preparing the final touches once dressed and made up.
Don’t forget the groom’s preparations – we can include that too if you like!
The Ceremony
Its crunch time – for you and the photographer! Your ceremony is the most special part of the day and the last thing you want to remember is the click click and FLASH of the photographer. This is where my candid journalistic style comes into its own – letting you concentrate on what it most important, while I quietly capture the pure emotion and joy of it all. I tread carefully and most of the time you’ll forget I’m there.
Reception
This is the time we'll get some formal shots in, and those really crucial shots of just the two of you that can only ever be had once (unless you have a 'trash the dress session' afterwards!) We'll leave you plenty of time to enjoy a drink or two and enjoy yourselves with your guests too. After all, it's really about the Good Times.
Evening Do
Everyone is a bit more relaxed now the celebrations are well and truly underway. We'll get the cutting of the cake, the speeches and your first dance, as well as everyone having a great time. Book this for just an extra £150, or have it for free if you book our unique photo studio for the evening!
Recommendations
Don't know where is good to have your wedding reception? I do have some favourite places for wedding receptions and I'll add them here as I think of them for you, just in case it helps:
The King Arthur Hotel
Why? Superb service, attention to detail, very flexible reception space, accomodation on site, beautiful location
Canada Lodge
Why? Unique and stylish but unpretentious. Very easy to get to from M4, near Cardiff. Great food. Great outdoor space for summer weddings.
