Gary and Maria contacted me a few weeks ago asking if I could fit them in on short notice.
They had just returned from their  dream Hawaiian wedding and were planning a wedding blessing, where all their loved ones who could not make it to Hawaii, could attend and share in their special day, and celebrate their love for one another.
Gary and Maria had been married on a deserted beach as the sun set, the waves crashed along the shore, a Hawaiian priest recited a traditional wedding blessing and blew a conch shell (is this making you jealous yet)?
The theme of the blessing was “Hawaii” and “tropical” and all the guests were encouraged to wear bright colours and Hawaiian shirts.
The blessing was held in Elmdon Church with photographs taken in the park afterwards.

The whole essence of Mark and Debbie’s special day was celebrating their love and commitment to each other with their friends and family.
I have never met a more relaxed bride and Debbie looked radiant. Guests were given specific instructions to come in what they felt comfortable in, and as long as they were there to share in the joy and love of the day, that was all that mattered.

I was having a pretty darn good day, and did not think that it could possibly get any better until I received an email from a couple that I shot engagement photos for a few weeks ago.
Maybe I am watching far too much American TV or I am becoming over exuberant in my old age but I found myself doing a very un-English fist pump and exclaiming a rather loud “YES” when I read what they had to say.

We just wanted to say how delighted we are with the engagement shoot pictures, thank you so much. Everyone has said how natural they are and how the pictures really pick out us as a couple.  Gives us a good guide too as to what poses we like/dont like for our wedding

I really cant wait to shoot Kevin and Charlottes’ wedding in October. We now know what poses work from both an aesthetics point of view and a personal one. They feel comfortable with me as their photographer and know that at the end of their wedding day they can look forward to photographs that will have captured their special day and their essence as a young newly married couple in love.
Here are a few of their engagement shots.

I loved this late Sunday afternoon shoot with the lovely Perry family and I  had so much fun!
We did the hour long shoot in their own home and used their back porch for the outdoor shots and then set up my portable studio in the lounge, which all worked out perfectly, with fabulous photos being taken.

Just a quick “Thank You” for the photo’s – they’re great, and exactly what we wanted. Tascha obviously loves them too, and we are already planning another shoot at some point next year! I have changed my Facebook pics with a couple of them, and had a couple of questions about who did them, so you may get one or two calls off the back of them too!
Thanks again
Chris
