This is a recent winter wedding, as chosen by the bride and groom from hundreds of possible images.
We always take plenty of casual, non-posed pictures, documenting the full day, so the couple are free to make up their own album according to their personalities. The very same original images could just as easily be made up into a fun wedding storybook with all the kids running riot and the happy exchanges between wedding guests, or a more relaxed, classical view of their day. The couple are consulted at every stage of the image selection – usually spending around 3 hours with us going through their choices and if they decide to go for a designed storybook album – as this couple did – they are free to get involved in the final layout, as its their personal wedding album, not just an exercise in arty design.
Emotions, expressions and important relationships between families are usually the key reason for their preferred images being included in the album – some choosing mainly of themselves and other showing the full story of their day. In this storybook they even included the pictures about the fire alarm that sounded – just as the bride was about to change into her wedding dress in the morning – and the firemen visiting their hotel in Leeds while everyone piled outside on the opposite pavement, to wait for the all-clear!
Below is a selection of pages from Hayley & Chris’s wedding album…
