The first wedding of the year is always an interesting one for me. Even though I’ve shot nearly 500 weddings I still get slightly nervous before each one… and especially before the first one of the year! Its not because I don’t know what i’m doing after the long winter months (honest!) it’s purely because I care about doing a good job so much.
As always, the nerves soon disappear when I arrive at bridal prep, walk in, and start snapping. Once that camera is covering my ugly mug, and I’m capturing all the emotional moments and fun the day has to throw at me, I forget I even had the winter break. And as you’re about to see, Sammy + Adam certainly knew how to put on a FUN wedding.
With bridal prep taking place at The Hoxton in Shoredtich, followed by a ceremony Islington Town Hall (one of my faves), and a BIG party at The Depot in Islington, I was definitely not finding myself short of ace backdrops at all.
The weather was kind to us… everyones faces were aching from smiling so much… and the whiskey kept flowing from those hip flasks all day long. Oh, and don’t even get me started on the kilts. I’ve not seen so many willies in one day since I was in the showers at school!
Everyone needs cheering up at the moment. So whether you’re Sammy + Adam (you guys are the best!), whether you were a guest at this beautiful wedding, or whether you’re one of my 2020 couples that have sadly had to put your plans on hold because of recent events, grab a boozy tipple, scroll through this gallery, and just remember how amazing weddings are. Remind yourself of what hugging people looked like. And most of all, remember that weddings can be (and quite rightly SHOULD BE) a day of endless fun and happiness.
Stay safe people.
