30 Days of Wedding Photography | Day 10 | Confetti

The vicar’s worst nightmare! Confetti to clean up!

Confetti always creates a great shot. Everybody is having fun, and are happy, and to top it off the photograph is dominated by a splash of colours!

Some bride and grooms have all of the confetti thrown on them at once, whereas others create a “confetti walkway” to dash through as they get caked in pieces of coloured tissue paper or petals!I’ve seen a cool alternative confetti shot by using bubbles. Definitely less mess!

30 Days of Wedding Photography | Day 9 | Down the Aisle

For me, this is one of the “must have” shots of a traditional english wedding day. There’s so much preparation and energy that is expended on this one fleeting moment and I feel this is so important for me to capture it.

Having prime position is massively important for this photograph, so I will always consult the vicar/registrar before the ceremony begins to make sure I can be in the position.

This moment is usually full of tears, happiness and pride. It’s a huge pleasure to be able to photograph such an important moment in someones life!

Almost all of the attention is on the bride at this point, but I’m always sure to capture the grooms reaction seeing his soon wife walking up the aisle. It’s a beautiful moment to capture.

You can visibly see the nerves and (sometimes) stress vanish once the couple see each other at the alter.

30 Days of Wedding Photography | Day 4 | Bridesmaids

"It's not what we have in our life, but who we have in our lives that matters."

Bridesmaids!

I overheard someone once describe bridesmaids as human glitter balls that the bride has by her side, sparkling all day. How cool?

Being a bridesmaid is an important job. In a world where friendship knows no bounds thanks to the digital age, picking your bridesmaids is a huge task! You're there for every moment of planning, hen partying and the wedding day itself.

The squad you select share and revel in your day as much as you. They're as excited, as giddy and can't wait firstly for the hen party and then secondly for the wedding - especially the party!

Being a bridesmaid is a chance to come together and look sensational, as one strong team, bound by friendship, at the side of the bride for the day.

As a photographer, I hear some true revelations that have me in stitches and make me feel like I'm one of the girls whether I like it or not! Especially on the morning of the wedding when the fizz is flowing and the girls are giddy. Their energy, fun, quirks and private jokes are exciting to be around and there are always hilarious moments.

From getting ready in the morning, to guiding their bestie down the aisle, the toasts to their beauty, the bouquet tossing and then the crazy dancing - you can guarantee the bridesmaids will keep the smiles, laughter and moves going all night long.

So here's to all those beautiful bridesmaids I've had the honour of photographing.
