Real Weddings. Kent, London, UK and Destination
I'd never shot a wedding on New Years eve before - I was missing out! When you think about it, the idea is genius. Everyone is already in party mode! And rather than having to find something to do or justify being lazy and staying in, your guests are given an awesome party to attend!
And Louise and Matt did indeed have an awesome party - we even had great days weather (considering it's Britain and all that!).
Lush day, had a blast!
The thing that makes being a wedding photographer (well, definitely in my case) is that I seem to get to photograph the kind of people I'd happily be friends with in every day life. Like Ruth and Dave. The thing is, that then leads you to be able to get on with the guests because you're pretty much on the same wavelength when it comes to chit chat and your ideas of what makes a day, or a wedding day, a really REALLY good one!
And this was exactly that. A really REALLY good wedding. No, not good - excellent! Loved it. My first wedding at Prested Hall in Essex too. Seriously, what a venue! Just one of those oh so good days.
Another awesome day, and one of the craziest, high energy evenings I've been to! Chilston Park is a beautiful wedding venue, and Tash and Dan are pretty damn beautiful too.
Bridal prep in a room like that is a photographers dream: lovely big windows letting plenty of light in.
Truly a building with tonnes of character, a pleasure to shoot
Back at Winters Barns in Kent. Never going to complain about that, love the place!
Anna and Matt were ridiculously calm about everything. Which was lovely to see, and the wedding day reflected their incredibly relaxed attitude. Just a lovely day at a gorgeous venue to enjoy food and drink with friends and family.
Oh, and Anna's dad looks like Jurgen Klopp! True story
Claire and Dan got married at the Old Ken Barn, and I was there to capture it! Old Kent Barn was one of the first wedding venues I shot at, and I've always enjoyed the day there. Lucky for me then that I was back there to spend the day with the genuinely lovely Claire, Dan and their friends and family!
