We all seem to be living busier lives and with technology advancing with every minute that passes, ‘time’ seems to be MORE precious and rare.
This is what, partly, has brought me to the ‘gift’ of a photo session for your loved one. The images themselves will obviously be stunningly beautiful images of that special person in your life who knows you better than anyone. That person who can be 20′ away in a crowded room, look at your fleetingly and know EXACTLY what it is you are finding funny at that time. They’ll be the person you perhaps watch sleep and wish they had more time to simply ‘be’ and do nothing other than step off the Circus of Life for a moment. Well now’s your chance to give them a gift that means they will HAVE to take some time out for themselves and be pampered !
There are 2 options with the way the session can take place. The first is for your loved one to have a photo session in my relaxed studio in Hertford (complete with lounge area and tea/coffee on tap !) and have photographs taken that remind them just how beautiful they are OR there’s the option to have their make-up done for them by Laura who will ensure that before the session has even begun they will have been 45 minutes to an hour of relax and pamper time !
Flowers last a few days, chocolates even less (if they are anywhere near ME anyway !) but beautiful photographs last a lifetime and the experience of having a hour or 2 out for oneself is something that will stick with your loved one forever. Every time they look at the images they will be reminded of the day and who felt they wanted to treat them.
I’m very fortunate to spend a lot of time with beautiful people on their Big Day. Kaley and Dennis were not only beautiful people to photograph today but they were so genuine, grateful, decent and supreme examples that having good parents creates good parents. The whole day was bliss. There was no panic and no fuss, it was ‘simply’ 2 people clearly madly in love coming together to do what couldn’t be more natural ! There was just smile after smile, the odd tear, friends giving a million hugs, parents looking on (justifiably) with pride and a real sense that their love is a very modern day love story with a classic feel too. A sign of just how decent people they are came when Kaley made a point of standing up during the speeches to make ONE thank you, to Jo Newell. She then asked Jo to come down and presented her with a bunch of flowers for all the care and listening to them so that on the day the wedding was everything Kaley had perhaps dreamed of as a little girl. Jo looked after every aspect of the day to ensure it ran smoother than silk could ever hope to be ! Andy made sure everyone (including Daniel the toastmaster and I) received their unbelievably delicious meals on time and perfectly cooked. Its a joy to watch such a finely tuned ‘machine’ doing its thing but rather than it feel like a computer controlled technical supercar it felt more like a purring V8 !!! All in all, Kaley and Dennis and Essendon Country Club made sure my count of fabulous 2015 weddings had another addition !
