The Value of Holding a Wedding Album in Your Hands

The Value of Holding a Wedding Album in Your Hands

Why have a wedding album? I want to take you back to Spring 2017 - I was back home visiting my parents in Cambridgeshire, and my lovely friends and past clients Emily and Shane were visiting Emily’s parents, just a few doors down from where my parents live. We had realised this fine fate, and with their Sweden destination wedding coming up in August, we seized the opportunity to have a wedding meeting to go over their styling and ideas and most importantly the logistics and running order of the day. My Mum was thrilled to hear Emily and Shane’s plans (having known Emily since she was young) and loved asking questions about the dress, the food and all the other details. It wasn’t long before she went rummaging upstairs to pull out her wedding album from the mid 1970s, to show Emily and Shane exactly what my parents did for their wedding.

Pavel and Georgina’s wedding took place at the beautiful Usk Castle in South Wales in July 2017. Usk Castle is a hidden gem just above Newport - it was one of my favourite places to relax during my time at University and when Rebecca of A Thing Like That told me we’d be shooting Pavel and Georgina’s wedding at the castle, I was sooo super excited!! This was a very hot summer’s day, and with the castle’s exposed brick walls and wonderful surrounding views I could have been fooled that I was on the continent! But sometimes the Welsh weather treats us to a glorious day such as this!
