Wedding Details - Image of the Week

As a Yorkshire Wedding Photographer, sharing images from a couple's special day is one of the most satisfying parts of the whole process. I'll usually meet with the newlyweds shortly after their return from honeymoon and the memory of the big day is still very much alive.

As a visual storyteller, my aim is to capture the whole of the wedding day from the early preparations with the bride and groom through to the first dance and evening party. One of my angles that brides especially love is photographs of the details that they have been planning and dreaming about often for years before their wedding. It's really funny as the average groom usually has a massive look of surprise on their face when they walk into the reception room and see all of the details on the tables such as flowers and wedding favours - how could this stuff have possibly passed them by in the run up to the big day - go figure!

I've never met a bride who wasn't supremely in love with their wedding shoes and in this respect I always capture an iconic image of theirs as i just know that 99% of brides will ask for this image to go in their wedding album.

Alexandra was no exception and even though she is still on her honeymoon, i know she will be really happy with the image above and it wouldn't even surprise me if she chooses this image for the cover of her album - Michael may have something to say about that but to be honest - the bride usually gets her own way - and why not!
