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!

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
