One of my first big proper weddings at Hedingham Castle - what an amazing venue and an amazing experience!
Not-Very-Serious-Likes-Cake (OK not 5 adjectives....)
Doing most of the business management myself, I know, it sounds sad, but I'm proud of marketing, doing my tax returns, sorting my insurance out etc. I'm also proud that I can pay my bills by being me :)
Don't get bogged down in the details, the day is about you and your love for each other - everything else is just atmosphere :)
Bottles of home made sloe gin at each table!
My life evolves around food... so we'll probably meet for a coffee and a chat (biscuits and cake) - before you book - so we know we are right for each other. Once you've booked, then we'll meet about a month before the wedding (more biscuits and cake) - if you've got a pre-wedding shoot then we'll do this at some point between booking and the pre-wedding chat (ice-creams on the beach / pic-nic in the park) Then the wedding day happens (canapes - which I try desperately not to eat!) After the wedding, if you've got a USB then that will be ready to collect or be delivered (more coffee / biscuits / cake - probably) If you've got an album then come to my home office to start the album discussions - so many options for design and covers that I've found it's easier to do this in front of my PC. My office is right next to my kitchen so... yeh... coffee / cake / beer / wine - whatever! I'm probably not good for anyone on a diet!
Bride in the toilet with her Bridesmaids holding up her dress. I wasn't there for actual weewee time - it was just the act of everyone holding the dress up!
Colourful umbrellas and wellys - embrace the fact we live in England :D
