Laura and Russell

Four years and 1 day ago on the 15th August 2007, Laura and Russell were married! I had only photographed a few weddings at that stage and I was still pretty green about the whole thing to be entirely honest with you. But Laura believed in me and I've never ever forgotten that.

How I photographed then is pretty different to how I photograph now but there was one standout image from their day that I have always loved and still even now it's one of my favourites because it was the feeling in this photograph that I would go on and set out to capture at every wedding and every couple shoot since. It's the photograph that has lead me to always tell Bride and Grooms to 'pretend I'm not here!' and it was this photograph that would go on to launch the style of photography I do now :)

A few weeks ago Laura and Russell were back in front of my camera again and despite the biggest downpour we had great fun!

Russell, I want to say a wee extra special thank you to you too, because I know how much you absolutely *hate* having your picture taken - and I know what I was saying to you and what I was making you do to get some of these shots - thank you! :)

And Laura, you are just as gorgeous now as you were on your wedding day.

I hope even more happiness is in store for you both over the next number of years ahead. xox

Haha!!!! Ummmmmmm... apart from giving me the evil eye in some shots you were absolutely grand lol. To be fair if the tables were turned and you were making me get in front of the camera I'd have had the exact same reaction :) xo
