I can't say I have one but many , but the way in which the rings are delivered to the bride and groom at the alter, from owls and birds of prey flying them in, to dogs carrying them, and of course when the young children present them.
Describe your typical process with a couple.
After Initial Inquiry we set up a free no obligation consultation, this allows both you to meet us in person and us to meet you. After this we take your booking, and arrange to make another meeting approximately 6 to 4 weeks before your wedding. This is where we finalise details on what you require, as well as times etc. After your wedding we take 2 - 4 weeks to get all digital proofs to you, these will be immediately available for you to download. We also at this point ask you to choose the photos for your album if you have arranged for us to provide one. We then on receiving your favorite's do an online mock up of the album and the positions of the photos and send it to you for approval. Once approved your album should be available in 4-6 weeks.
What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?
For me it has to be the one picture that shows the happiness of the bride and groom, where you can see the love for each other and the fact that they just love being in each others lives.
What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?
I have done one when the weather was really bad and the brides dress and grooms suite could not take much more, so I got them to agree before they got changed to come out to a large flooded area in the car park. We got a car to drive through the edge of the flooded area as the bride and groom were stood in the middle we got a classic wave that day, and a damn good soaking.
What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?
Umbrellas, we try to make sure that even the rain cannot spoil your day or any other weather for that matter. We provide large clear umbrellas and take the appropriate photos that we can, as well as work out a great location indoors if all else fails to take your photos.
Describe how you got into photography.
I joined the Army in 1980 and it all started there, I was initially taught using film, and then moved up to digital as it came in to use.
