This year, I've only booked in a few weddings as I've been pursuing one of my other passions. Four months of training, a Marathon, and 2 Half-marathons haven't left much time for photography work up until now, but I discovered yesterday just how much easier it is to bounce about and hold those awkward positions to get the shots I need now that I'm considerably fitter!
The weddings I am doing this year are for couples I've been honoured to have been recommended to or who have requested me especially. This means a huge amount to me, because there's nothing like word of mouth from satisfied customers.
I met Heather and David for the first time in the early New Year, and we've walked round York in snow and cold weather that lasted all the way to our final walk-through in April, but thankfully, yesterday was everything a Saturday in June should be.
I love it when couples do exactly what they feel is right for them on the day they formalise their relationship. Everything about this wedding was chilled out, personal to Heather and David as a couple, simple and beautiful, from the bouquet of wild flowers and buttonholes of heathers and grasses to running off for a sneaky snifter of whiskey at Guy Fawkes's place on the walk to the reception.
Here's the first few shots from their superb, splendidly simple wedding at York Registry Office and Gray's Court.
