Sophie & Justin - A Homegrown Family-Filled Hereford Wedding - Herefordshire Wedding Photography

Following on from the emotional blessing (after having done the legal bit in peak Covid last year) the happy family was showered with confetti before we kicked off our shoes and trudged up the hill to the ancient Kilpack Castle ruins with breathtaking views of the valley below. I was so struck by how at ease Sophie & Justin are in each other’s presence - their hearts virtually beat in unison as the make their way through this world and it’s been such a wonderful privilege to witness.

Shall We Have a First Date? - 2022 in Pre-Wedding Shoots (so far!)

The most common question I get from couples at the enquiry stage is ‘do we have to have a pre-wedding shoot?’ This is usually on the assumption that they’re cheesy or awkward or cringey or a bit of all of the above. But when you book me for the full day, when we commit to spending significant time together at your wedding, I know that I can capture you at your most relaxed when in turn you’re relaxed with ME.

Alicia & Matt opted for full party atmosphere with beer pong (and personalised ping-pong balls!) and cornhole during the drinks reception in the afternoon and a live band in the evening. I love that Alicia & Matt truly thought of EVERYTHING and so there wasn't any sort of awkward lull throughout the day, it just flowed perfectly.

When these two amazing humans first got in touch, there was only a vague idea of what the day was going to look like. One part was clear though, they were happy to just opt for my micro-coverage of 2 hours which was just enough to catch a beautifully private ‘first look’ between the bride and groom, all the special moments of the ceremony, confetti tossing and family group shotting and some quick, relaxed portraits before they whisked away in a minibus to their pub-quiz reception.

Abbie & Rob (ROUND 2!) - A Beautifully Rustic At-home Wedding Celebration in Macclesfield - Cheshire Wedding Photography

Abbie & Rob FINALLY got their due: a rousing, energetic, soiree of a garden party in that same field with the original 30ish guests but another 60ish added for good measure. And OH WHAT A PARTY IT WAS! Our new(ish) Mr. & Mrs. Jones donned their wedding garb from 10 months previous but ditched the bouquet for some stylish sunnies and made their entrance to massive cheers through a much longer confetti tunnel.
