Saski and Wayne were guests at a wedding of their friends that I was photographing. Their own wedding was booked for 2022 and they were looking for a photographer that suited their needs. They didn’t want to spend hours posing for photos preferring a more relaxed approach. They loved the photos from their friends wedding and the natural fun way I work so they booked me and my 2nd camera Giles for their wedding at The Crown Hotel Harrogate. It’s a great venue with beautiful decor, large rooms and lovely suites plus its close to The Valley Gardens which is fabulous for photos! It also has the cutest cobble street at the side. I have been using a drone for confetti shots for a while now but this proved quite challenging because of all the over hanging trees, we managed it through team work and good flying. We did have a bit of drama however during the preparations. The back of a bridesmaids dress was being pressed and was accidentally burnt, luckily not the Brides dress….could you imagine?? But thanks to the seamstress it was fixed without Saski really knowing what was going on. Then Saski’s dad turned up too early and unannounced which made her cry so tissues to the ready. Don’t forget ladies, dab don’t rub to preserve your foundation. Saski has so many girlfriends she couldn’t ask them all of them to be bridesmaids so instead she asked them to all come to the suite before the ceremony and asked me to capture the look on their faces when they saw her for the first time in her dress. She gave them all a wrist corsage and a goodie back with girlie presents  which was a lovely touch. When you look at the images during the ceremony see how in love they both look, they couldn’t keep their hands off each other all day and many a happy tear was shed.
