THE TIME OF OUR LIVES

Local photographers showcase some of their favourite images www.bluebellphotostudio.co.uk

Nowthat weddings are back in full swing, we wanted to celebrate with a fabulous photography feature full of wonderful images from some of the area’s best photographers.

“This particular couple had been through some real hardships in the build-up to their special day, and it was a close call as to if the wedding would go forward or not. This photo, for me, symbolises them looking at each other as if to say, ‘we did it’. They were so in love with one another, and it was a pleasure to capture their special day.” – Meg Quick from Meg Quick Photography.

“Our job is to observe and capture real moments that will stay with our couples for the rest of their lives.” – Karolina and Mario from Bluebell Photo Studio.

“This image is from a wedding I did last year. It's one of my absolute favourites because I know the journey this couple went through to get their beautiful twins, and this image shows mum and daughter sharing a very special moment before the ceremony. Every girl dreams of their wedding day, and a cheeky moment under her mother’s veil is sure to have made her feel like a princess.” – Georgina Ford from Georgina Mai Photography.

“I take a bottle of bubbly to all my weddings, so I can create a relaxed image, which is great fun and gives the couples a beautiful photo to look back on.” – Darren Powell from Everybody Smile Photography.

“Our favourite images are authentic and not staged.” – Karolina and Mario from Bluebell Photo Studio.

“In this photo, the couple had just completed the confetti tunnel and the bride’s expression is of pure happiness.” – Darren from Everybody Smile Photography.

“This wedding was so breathtaking; I remember listening to the pianist playing Clair De Lune and thinking this wedding is like a movie; it’s still a favourite of mine.” – Meg from Meg Quick Photography.

“This shot shows the bride, her mother and grandmother’s wedding rings. I love it because it shows three generations of happy marriages.” –Georgina from Georgina Mai Photography.

“This is Jess and Gary rocking each other’s world.” – Leon from Leon Heynes Videography & Photography.

“Your wedding day can be very emotional, and at times stressful, however this couple got it just right and enjoyed every minute. All day they were laughing and having fun, which showed how perfect they are for each other. At the end of all the group shots, I love doing a champagne shot where the groom pops a bottle and the rest of the wedding party cheers. It’s one of my absolute favourite moments of the day and was perfect for this couple who were already having so much fun.” – www.everybodysmilephotography.co.uk www.megquickphotography.uk

“Lots of couples feel uncomfortable about having a posed photo taken; here I wanted to create a cool shot that the couple would love and could show off on social media.” – Darren from Everybody Smile Photography.

“For me, this photo shows pure happiness. Kaiye and Ben were from two completely different parts of the world, and their families had travelled from all over to be with them.” – Meg from Meg Quick Photography.
