Sarah and Neil’s Wedding – Kingston upon Thames

What a lovely wedding I have to share with you all today.

Sarah and Neil were married on the 20th of May at the Antoinette hotel in Kingston and I was so lucky to be asked to record their special day. I sharing just a few of my favourite parts and why I genuinely think I have the best job in the world!

Firstly those little details, as guests we often attend weddings, and think oooh how lovely, as a photographer I get to see all the small parts that come together to get that oooh reaction, years in the planning and so worth it. I always make the effort to record these special elements so they can be remembered forever.

Not an obvious thing but I LOVE wedding prep, the nerves, the excitement…

The emotions

The care and attention taken to make the day perfect.

The nervous smiles before it all starts

Thats special mum and daughter photo which I know will be shared amongst their family for years to come.

The proudest Grandad

The rings before they become the symbol of Sarah and Neil’s union

Boys time!

And this, this is why I feel so lucky, I get to stand in front of the bride a groom, I get to see the pride on Dad’s face, I get to record that moment of pure joy! (told you I had the best job in the world)

I get to witness that look of pure love

I get to see how proud their son is all ready for his big moment as ring bearer

And I get to record the sincerity in the promises given in marriage.

I see the tears of joy from the daughter who has help her mum so much of the past year with the planning and preparation

There are the official parts of course.

And then there’s their youngest son who is too excited to wait to the end of the service and has to go give his parents the biggest cuddle.

Its not all about being serious either 🙂

These are the bride’s best friends who want to do something silly to make their friend smile.

The mini model shoot with their daughter as a little surprise!

I get to have fun with the kiddies – honestly there is nothing better than confetti!

The moments they don’t spot me and my camera!

And whilst not a video of the speeches,  I’m sure in several years with this image they will remember exactly what made them laugh so hard.

I see the rest of the world disappear during their first dance

And I get to take the photo the Sarah has told me she has always wanted from her wedding

Its safe to say – this sign is true!
