Lake Como, Italy wedding photography - Ashley and Mike

This wedding will definitely be a huge highlight of 2017 for me. Amazing scenery, party-crazy guests, and one of the nicest couples I've ever photographed. 

Ashley and Mike live in New York, and chose the backdrop of Lake Como in Italy for their wedding day. The boutique hotel Relais Villa Vittoria was their venue, and WOW, does it have some stunning views over the beautiful lake. 

I had only met the guys on a Skype call when they booked me last year, so having a pre-wedding shoot the night before the wedding was a perfect chance to get to know them a bit better. 

I could ramble on and on about this amazing wedding, but I think I'll let the photos do the talking. All I will add, is that it'll be a long time before I shoot another wedding with such a wild party. The cellar bar at the venue was roasting hot from all the dancefloor action! 

Ashley and Mike, thanks so much for asking me to shoot your amazing wedding day... it was a fantastic wedding to be a part of, and the freedom you guys gave me to wander around, mingle with your guests, and just "do my thing", allowed me to get the totally relaxed story of your day that you see here. 

Thanks also to Matthew Oliver for making the day run so smoothly with your wedding planning skills. I will never forget the look on your face when a guest picked you up on the dancefloor... priceless!

Laura and Joe - a super Sicily wedding

Shooting a wedding in the historic city of Cefalu was a photographers dream! Add into the mix a lovely bride and groom, a stunning wedding dress made by the brides mum, and the most amazing weather, and I'm a happy camper!

Laura and Joe were perfect - they knew exactly the kind of photos they wanted of their wedding, and they just left me to get on with it, and do my thing! They are also one of the kindest couples I've ever met. They were happy to do anything for cool photos, and not only did they treat me like one of the family, they also invited my wife over to the wedding too. This allowed us to spend our wedding anniversary away in the sun, and also have a few days holiday after the wedding.

Laura and Joe, thanks again for asking me to shoot your wedding, and the BBQ on the following day. Your wedding was awesome... and you guys were the best. Both myself and Clare had an amazing time, and were blown away by how generous you were to us during our stay. I loved every minute of your wedding, and choosing my favourite photos for this blog was near impossible... I wanted to post them ALL on here! Their awesome wedding also made it onto the Love My Dress blog!

"WOW WOW WOW! I'm sat at my desk in tears! They are amazing... I couldn’t have dreamt them to be any better!

Me and Joe have looked through the photos literally everyday since we got them, I'm still seeing new things in them and can't get over how incredible they are!

Thanks so much Ed. You have just captured the day and the emotions so well."
