The more weddings I photograph, the more they surprise me! Laura-Jane and Andrew's wedding did just that - it was a small, intimate wedding but one of the most emotional that I have had the pleasure to photograph.

Laura-Jane and Andrew booked me online without ever having met me. This isn't normally the way couples find me - I normally meet people at wedding fairs, I am recommended to them by friends/family or they find me online and come in for a chat. Not this time - they liked my style and as they only wanted 3 hours of coverage, they paid their deposit and that was that.

I normally always meet my couples in advance - that way they can be sure I'm the right person for them. It also gives me a chance to see what they look like so that I know who I'm photographing when I arrive (especially important if I arrive just to cover the ceremony!). So when Andrew got in touch a few weeks before the wedding to request a meeting I was more than happy to oblige.

Their wedding took place at the Registry Office at Trowbridge County Hall. I wasn't really sure what to expect but I actually really loved it as a venue (and the staff were lovely too which always helps!). Laura-Jane arrived in the most gorgeous dress and with a bouquet made all the more special by the addition of miniature portraits of Andrew's parents. After a ceremony filled with happy tears we headed outside for some group photos and I was pleasantly surprised to find that Andrew's family were eager to put their own spin on the confetti throw. I'm not sure if it has traditional roots but all of  a sudden the Bride and Groom were surrounded by singing guests and a fabric walkway was being constructed for them to walk across. It was a beautiful thing to witness!

Below are just a few of my favourite photos from the day. The full set of images can be found here.
