Let’s talk wedding flowers. As a wedding photographer I see ALOT of flowers. I see flowers that I have never seen before in colours I didn’t know exist. With a host of colours to choose from on your wedding day, where do you begin when choosing your wedding flowers?
So I love a good bargain. My husband will always leave it to me to find the best price because he knows I LOVE to get my money’s worth. So why should it be any different when you are shopping around for the most important supplier to your wedding: your photographer.
I wear my heart on my sleeve. I love to make people happy when I photograph their wedding, and the thought of people being pleased is what drives me on a day to day basis.
So when I woke up this morning to receive this post wedding email, I couldn’t help but think to myself “yup! I definitely LOVE my job”.
We live in an amazing super humongous world and yet the small, tiny island of Great Britain is full of some of the most outstandingly beautiful places I have ever seen. Nestled in the rolling hills of the Cotswolds, Euridge House & Orangery or also known as The Lost Orangery is a wedding photographer’s dream venue.
I do believe there are signs of spring starting to creep into each day, which means we are getting closer to summer sun and wedding season! Today I was lucky enough to head over to the beautiful, newly renovated Frogmill Inn just outside of Cheltenham. I will be photographing a wedding there in May and I can’t wait.
I met with Katie and Laury to talk about their wedding photography and how we can make their pictures special for the day.
It is always a good idea to meet with your wedding photographer before your date so you can just have a moment to sit down, have a beer (or gin or whatever your tonic is!) and just talk. No pressure and no where else to be. You can also go for a walk around the venue, discuss where pictures can be made during different times of the time or if the weather isn’t cooperating. The more you can be open about the day and what it could possibly hold (a.k.a the WEATHER) the better it’ll be on the day for picture expectations.
Creating photographs for a wedding that are personal to each couple is very important to me. I want to make sure I understand as a wedding photographer, who you are as a couple; what makes you laugh, smile and jump on each other’s backs! Once I have that information being your wedding photographer is just that much easier!
So, here’s to another wonderful day to come. If you are planning your wedding and still looking for a wedding photographer, I would love to meet you. I may be a Gloucestershire wedding photographer 90% of the time, but I am more than happy to travel to make your wedding day magical.
Surveys have shown that people come from all over the United Kingdom to get married in the Cotswolds. The beautiful countryside, quiet hamlets, and the people (of course the people right?!!?) make for the Cotswolds to be a perfect wedding destination.
What a day. I figured on my morning business meeting in the field with my partner in wedding crime, Katherine Edwards of Cherish Cakes, that we could come up with a fabulous styled wedding shoot to help fill the cold, wintry months while we wait for our wedding season to kick off.
This week has been a triple whammy of magazine fun at Red Maple Photography. Some of my beautiful brides have been featured in West Weddings Magazine with their favourite pets, and then some of my brides who spent hours planning some of the most gloriously, wonderful wedding ideas have been featured in another magazine called Handmade Wedding which can be bought at WHSmith.
