Wedding dress photos are one of the must have shots a bride & groom expect to see. It doesn’t matter if they cost £000’s or £00’s they all deserve 30minutes of my time. Here are a few from last season. Looking… https://t.co/5dEpkVzt5X

Whilst the wedding guests were eating it gives me time to revisit little details I spotted during the day. I noticed this bench and retrieved the bridesmaid bouquets to decorate it. It was a simple rustic wedding and… https://t.co/cqOOD65qQL

A beautiful bride and a lovely Citroen 2CV made a great wedding photo. What makes this special for me is it wasn’t posed. She got in the car and was adjusting her veil and snap. I was really pleased with the result.… https://t.co/1UjbbztC1L

Loved these pretty pastel wedding colours. Unconventional wedding shoes but at least they were comfortable and blended in perfectly with the colour theme. #chateausoulac #weddingcolours #pastelweddingtheme… https://t.co/3uTFDMz5Lk

Here are a selection of recent end of wedding day photographs. For those couples who require the evening photographed then darkness photos are of course included. Shame to not record the lovely night lighting. They… https://t.co/EDN6dKfXqQ

Edinburgh old town steps provided me with these two images. I was grateful for the the rest these photo opportunities provided. There was so many steps! #edinburgh #edinburgholdtown #citylife #edinburghsteps… https://t.co/X6Ub1Jh0s2

The brief on this wedding was no formal or arranged photography. On paper that sounds easy but when groups came to ask for me to photograph them the groom was not impressed. But what can you do but go with the flow.… https://t.co/OI4tLJyJMu

The tender moment when the father sees his daughter followed by the proud moment he leads her up the aisle to be married. Don’t you love weddings? #weddingceremony #fatherofthebride #chateauweddingfrance… https://t.co/5PU4O70aeZ

These classic car images were taken during the Circuit des Ramparts Rallye that stopped in Villebois-Lavalette for lunch. It was a great turnout as can be seen on this link… https://t.co/9TR9YKhDkW

One of the most varied styling details at a wedding is the wedding reception table decor. In my experience this can vary enormously. From simple to extravagant so many styles. #weddingdetails #weddingdetail… https://t.co/svm2KO0M9o

Wedding rings are one of those details we wedding photographers need to record. This year I have chosen a simple approach in the main with little distraction. Just a tripod, 100mm macro lens and flash with diffuser… https://t.co/JkpltxXUfl

When the wedding party is in full swing it means I can relax as the wedding days work for me is coming to an end. I do like the atmospheric feeling of night shots. #weddingparty #weddings #weddingreception… https://t.co/p4mS0QO8Xm

Beautiful wedding dress and beautiful bedroom. But before I could photograph it I had to tidy up, clothes moved, luggage moved, bed made etc. It’s not all glamour as a wedding photographer. #chateauwedding… https://t.co/JXa9z7EkH7

Funny story this time. After photographing the wedding for a groom who said he was a musician. I didn’t do my homework so didn’t know which band he was in. I discovered he was the keyboard player in a famous band. I… https://t.co/j2qzGGd1aS
