We were looking for a photographer that was local to us but i was struggling to find one that we liked, then i came across a picture which intrigued both me and my husband enough to want to know who the photographer was …. The picture in question is rather quirky and id noticed it was taken at my local family parish church so i was even more determined to find out who had taken it and that we NEEDED them as our photographer - local or not.

We arranged a meeting with graeme at our house and within the first 10 minutes of chatting to us we knew he was the right fit for us both from an aesthetic and price point of view - graeme spent over an hour with us listening to our story and I’m an anxious person but i felt so comfortable and relaxed i knew we needed to book him.

Communication was excellent during the build up the big day, a few weeks before i sent over the list of the ‘necessary’ pictures but the rest we were happy for graeme to take the lead on capturing what he felt was best.

Our brief from the outset was candid / natural shots over posed and graeme went above and beyond to fit the brief.

Even more so my intention was to not have many pictures taken at church , spoiler alert - graeme is that good at his craft he got a ‘money shot’ i never realised i wanted or needed - he was so discreet , we didn’t notice he was actually inside the church - I’m so glad he just went with it as the pictures he took during the service are beautiful. Also he captured moments which my husband and i forgot actually happened - tar LOL.

Prior to the service; id given graeme a little hint of direction with what i was looking for in terms of pictures or moments to capture pre service and he did just that - my husband and i were legally married the year before and for the blessing service this year both of us were to walk down to the aisle together - so i wanted a ‘first look’ sort of vibe of my husbands reaction to the upgraded ‘frock’ before we went into church , oh wow, did graeme get those shots and more.

The Reception:
Again, graeme was given a brief of certain pictures to get then the rest we were happy for him to take the lead and have fun with the camera.
Our plans had changed slightly in the few weeks before the big day but this didn’t sway graeme at all.

Specifically, precious lasting memories have been captured for my extended family and i cannot thank graeme enough for that.

Graeme was patient and went above and beyond with our guests throughout the entire day - so much so , whilst the evening guests were arriving pre first dance, graeme gave an impromptu photography lesson with some of the younger children at our wedding which then led to getting some of the best candid shots of the kids on the dance floor - thank-you for being so attentive with them.

Thank-you for being an integral part of our special day.
