What is your most memorable wedding?
This is so hard to answer as all of my weddings are memorable, I put everything that I have into capturing weddings so they are firmly etched into my heart!! If I had to pick one it would be for a couple where the groom was terminally ill. Because the joy and happiness and fun we had on that day enforced what is important in life. The wedding was at a golf course and we decided to take a break from the formalities and steal a few moments of fun! So off we went in golf buggies with pure happiness in their eyes. On the course they decided to dance, they laughed, they twirled and held each other close with tears in their eyes and memories that would now be etched in their hearts. Their love for each other is about embracing life with open hearts and making the most of every moment, it was about dancing, laughing and shedding tears in the most unexpected places like a golf course at sunset.
