I will arrive at the location at where you are getting ready in plenty of time to capture shots of the preparations, of hair being done and makeup being applied.

I will also capture lovely photographs of all the little details. The dress, those amazing shoes, jewellery and so on.

If the groom is getting ready at the same location as the bride, and time permits, then I will photograph his preparations too, once again capturing all those thoughtful little details. A few portraits ensue, capturing all that finery while it is still at its best!

Once you are into that beautiful wedding dress and your modesty is ensured, there will be shots of the dress being done up or of it being laced up, and of you putting on jewellery and accessories.

We will then take some time to capture some wonderful portraits of you at your beautiful best, while everything is in pristine condition.

Prior to the wedding ceremony there will be an opportunity to photograph the groom and groomsmen, and also the guests arriving. And finally, hopefully not too fashionably late to make the groom fret, your own arrival!

The wedding ceremony tends to be very emotional as you exchange vows and rings. These unguarded moments can produce some really beautiful photographs. Posed photographs of the signing of the register follow.

Shortly after the ceremony we can either take a few group shots or we can concentrate on the fun bit, which is producing some beautiful images of the two of you.

The speeches are often hilarious, and provide an opportunity to grab some fun images as the best man does his best to embarrass the groom, and the bride’s dad recounts memories of his daughter growing up.

The day’s photography comes to a close with the cutting of the cake and the first dance.
