New Year - New Wedding


As the year turns and we enter 2010 thousands of couples across the country will be thinking "It is this year we are getting married!" and finally their planning, which they have thought about many times through their engagement, will all come to fruition. At last they will join friends and family to celebrate the ultimate act of commitment and love which so many of us before have taken. They will spend hours excitedly choosing dresses, venues etc. for their big day - but what about a photographer? It is OK leaving it to Uncle Fred, but what if something goes wrong? Will he have a back-up camera? Can he cope if it is raining (hope not!) etc. etc? Weddings are stressful enough - trust me, I have been to over 1,000 in the 30+ years that I have been photographing them - without having to worry whether you are going to have memories to look back on. Whether it is St. Pauls' Cathedral (yes, I have photographed one there) or whether it is a small select hotel, you need a professional to record the first day of the adventure we call marriage. And remember, wedding photography is not expensive, it is priceless!
