A very wet pre-wedding shoot in Cornwall - Cheryl and Alec

A few weeks ago I headed down to Cornwall to snap Cheryl and Alec for their pre-wedding shoot. It rained. A lot. And I really mean A LOT! From the minute I got out of the car to meet them, to the minute I went to bed that night, it didn't stop. It was definitely the wettest, and windiest pre-wedding shoot I've ever done. That didn't stop Cheryl and Alec from having a fun day though. Mucking around on the beach, trying to keep dry and taking shelter in the forest, and just embracing the terrible weather conditions wherever we went. These guys were totally cool with the shooting conditions, and put their trust in me to still come up with the goods and produce some intimate, and fun photos. I think I succeeded... you decide. 

Cheryl and Alec, it was lovely meeting up with you and spending the day getting wet through! I can't wait to photograph your wedding in London later this year.

Fingers crossed I bring some better weather with me! 

A beautiful East Sussex wedding at the Gallivant - Steph + Graham

Any wedding day that involves a trip to the beach is always going to get me excited! And Steph and Grahams wedding not only had the beach, it also had lots of other fun aspects to it. It was a joy to be a part of, from start to finish.

As always, I'm just going to let the photos tell the story, but I do want to share the words from Steph and Grahams thank you card they sent me. Such kind words, from a lovely couple.

Dear Ed, 

I don't even know where to start with putting this thank you into words. From the moment we met you on our pre-wedding shoot in Richmond Park, we instantly knew that we could trust you to capture our wedding day memories for us to treasure forever.

You have not let us down and have beautifully frozen in time the whole myriad of emotions that were felt on our special day. I've struggled to begin to condense the photos into an album we can print out - which is testament to your talent as a photographer.

You enabled us to feel incredibly relaxed on the day, which is no mean feat! You were so unobtrusive that so many of the photos I hadn't even realised had been taken. Before even seeing any of your photos, so many of our guests commented on your professionalism and wished they had booked you for their weddings. We will always recommend you to any of our friends and family who are planning a wedding. I've even joked about renewing our vows already so we can book you again!

Seriously Ed, we cannot thank you enough for all you have done. You are born to do this job and we wish you every continued success.

Love Steph + Graham xxx

A very vibrant tattooed wedding in Norfolk - Sophie + Kyle

"Good morning, Ed

We hope you're well. Just wanted to drop you a line to say Kyle and I sat down with our wedding pictures last night (LOVED the box it came in and the adorable USB, plus the prints you very kindly threw in as well, what a lovely touch). 

We are completely in awe of the beautiful photos you took. Nothing really prepared me for how quickly the big day was going to go, and a few weeks later I found myself barely remembering what had happened; but looking through last night was like reliving it. Your photos really capture what a silly and fun day it was by all our guests expressions, and we are so lucky that it's immortalised in them. 

The sunset beach photos are my absolute favourite - and that was such a special part of the day for us too, when we could escape and chill out for a little while. Really chuffed. 

Thank you so much for all your hard work, Ed. I know I've said it before but it was an absolute pleasure to have you at our wedding and we're so glad you were available to document our wedding. All our guests said what a lovely man you are. Also thank you for not making me look like a clichéd gothic tattooed person! And for getting pictures of Kyle looking fit as f*@! - not that that's hard work haha. 

Thanks again, Ed, we can't wait to share with our families and friends. We hope you enjoy the rest of this year's weddings and have a lovely Christmas and new year. Hopefully our paths cross again sometime :) 

All my love and take care, 

Sophie (and Kyle but he wants to thank you himself)" 

SOPHIE + KYLE LOOKED SO COOL... THEY MADE THE COVER OF ROCK N ROLL BRIDE!
