From I will to I do – Our Engaged to Marriage Showcase

Jenny & Keith — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 09:00:09 +0000

We have a very privileged and happy job. We get to see love unfold over the months before our very eyes. We get to see the first exciting moments as an engaged couple start to plan their perfect wedding day, we are there to ensure their wedding photography is spectacular and we do everything in our power to enhance that magical day. We are often seen smoothing ruffled feathers, handing out champagne, buttoning up dresses when bridesmaids are shaking too much, delivering buttonholes to forgetful grooms and generally getting stuck in and documenting every moment.

We capture memories as they happen and we love every minute. We promise to be discreet and attentive, as we illustrate and impart the story of that love from the the first whisper of mascara and silk to the swish of lace in a meadow or heels on a parquet floor, the thumping bass of a disco or the silence of a romantic evening. Focusing on heartfelt emotions, we shoot endless expression, a giggling baby, a groom embarrassed by his bestman, the happy tears of a proud father or the uniqueness of a couple’s love for each other.

We love the whole process from meeting a bride and groom for the first time, seeing a shy bride blossom into a confident diva, right through to the day and the viewing when a couple see their images for the first time-magic!

So it is our great pleasure to showcase the first of our retrospective blogs engaged to married. Please leave the post some love xxxx

Last month we photographed Rosie and Tom’s gorgeous wedding at Goldsborough Hall and last week we showcased a sneak peek on the blog. Rosie and Tom have now viewed their photos and are delighted with the results, so I can now show a few more. Today it’s all about Rosie & Tom, relaxing in the gardens of Goldsborough Hall right through to the first dance.
