2018 end of year review
Fun plays a huge part in my photography. Well, thats what a lot of my couples tell me anyway! And I like to think a lot of this end of year slideshow portrays how I capture all the happiness I see at weddings.
Putting together a slideshow at the end of the year is never easy. Mainly as I have SO many fun and creative shots I want to feature. Anna and I delivered over 40,000 images to couples this year, so choosing just three minutes worth of photos to show was really tough! What you’re about to watch is only a tiny selection of images that make me smile when I look at them… Just as much now as when I saw them happen in front of me.
To every couple that asked me to shoot their wedding this year, THANK YOU!
Thank you for booking me, trusting me, and just allowing me to rock up on your special day and just do my thing. Even after 20+ years of doing this I still continue to find shooting weddings a hugely interesting and fun experience. And when I get to spend so much time with couples that genuinely get excited about seeing what I see, it really does mean the world to me.
(And if you like this slideshow… you can check out a couple more of my previous years slideshows too… 2017 and 2016)

West Mill Derbyshire wedding photography - Rachael and Hayley
I love shooting at the stunning West Mill in Derbyshire. Not only is it just down the road from me in Nottingham, its also one of the most amazing venues to get married at in the UK... it really is a photographers dream... both inside and out!
Rachael and Hayley celebrated their wedding day with family and friends over the festive period, and surprised their guests with a visit from Santa. It was lovely to see the look on all the kids faces when he arrived with presents for them... nice touch guys.
Thanks a million for booking me... it was an awesome day... and I had loads of fun shooting your big day. Looking back at the photos, and seeing that blue sky, you'd think it was summer. But boy oh boy was it cold... BRRR!
"Hi Ed, we've just finished looking through them. They're amazing!!! So nice to relive the day and remember bits I'd forgotten!" - Rachael
Brighton wedding photography - Niall and Dan
"Hi Ed, Wow they're amazing, we love them! Everybody we show loves your work. Thank you again."
Yep, as another mental summer comes to an end, its time for me to get a few blogs up on my website, and this one just HAD to go in.
Niall and Dan got married in Brighton, then headed out to Dans parents house in the countryside for a party afterwards. Garden games, a swimming pool, an ice cream van, they had the lot! Plus, boy oh boy was it a scorcher of a day. Easily the hottest day of the year for me to be shooting a wedding.
It was only the second gay wedding I've shot (I'd love to shoot more), and I enjoyed every minute of it! The guys were so chilled out, let me just wander around snapping away, and doing my thing, while they spent time with their friends and family, having a great time, and enjoying the beautiful weather. They also really helped me to feel like I was one of the guests. Insisting that I sat with the rest of the guests during the meal, and making sure that I was also having a good time.
Its weddings like this that really make me smile all day, and realise this job doesn't always feel like a job (does that make sense?).
Thanks Niall and Dan for booking me to photograph your amazing wedding day. It was the best!
