THE TIME OF OUR LIVES

Local photographers showcase their favourite images

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

“I love this image at it shows a real, natural expression and is a true reflection of the couple.” – Rachel from Rachel Laidler Photography.

“During the bridal preparations, the bride peeped through the curtains of her dressing room to see the guests greeting the groom just before the wedding ceremony. I love this image because she was so excited to see everyone outside and what they were wearing, and nobody from outside noticed her looking. It was such a memorable moment.” – Marina from Marina Walker Photo.

“This image of Amy and Rob makes me smile; they had a bit of a joke and a laugh together while we were taking photos, and it just sums up their wedding day for me.” – Christina from Fish 2 Photography.

“This is one of my favourite because the smile between them is so genuine due to the fun we were having whilst trying to get creative with the veil – capturing a wonderfully aesthetic image which is also genuine.” – Tom from Tom Benson Photography.

“I captured this shot of Kellie and Brian as the sun was setting. We always study the area with hopes that the couple might wish to disappear for a short while, which was the case here, as they went with us on a short drive to a nearby spot for a romantic sunset shoot.” www.fish2.co.uk www.glimmeringsparkle.co.uk www.honeybeephotos.co.uk www.marinawalkerphoto.com https://rlaidlerphotography.lightfolio.com www.tombenson.co.uk

“The confetti shot has to be one of my favourites to capture at any wedding, and the joy here in the bride’s face and the way her new husband is looking at her with so much pride just makes it a perfect wedding photograph.” – Helen from Honey Bee Photography.

“Here, we decided to take the boys down to the lake for some photos. We took some beers, and as usual, the boys were teasing the groom. It’s so much fun to capture friendships like this.” – Christina from Fish 2 Photography.

“I do love a bride and groom shoot after the ceremony; it allows you to just be together and take in a moment without anyone else. I love this photo in particular with the beautiful scenery; it’s one of my all time favourites.” – Helen from Honey Bee Photography.

“I love to capture moments like this, and once the images are all put together, it builds the beautiful story that is your wedding day.” – Rachel from Rachel Laidler Photography.

“Francesca absolutely loved the camera, and we both really liked her natural smile.” – Kat and Greg from Glimmering Sparkle Weddings.

“This photo of Jen and James was taken as the groom lifted his new bride and carried her over a cattle grid while we went on a walk for the couples shoot; we all had a good laugh!” – Marina from Marina Walker Photo.

“In this image, you can see the couple’s beautiful chemistry with them positioned perfectly so that the sun created a wonderful symbology of literally shining on them.” – Tom from Tom Benson Photography.

“Each image is as unique as the couple, and I always aim to capture that.” – Rachel from Rachel Laidler Photography.

“All weddings are filled with love and passion, and this was their moment, which we were lucky to witness and capture.” – Kat and Greg from Glimmering Sparkle Weddings.

“A group shot with the lads always makes for a good laugh, and some great memories! Sometimes I find the men’s group photographs can get a bit awkward, so if you have ideas or just want to have a good natter and see what happens, go for it. This particular photo ended up being so much fun to shoot, and I had tears in my eyes from laughing so much!” – Helen from Honey Bee Photography.

“The ring wouldn’t go on properly as the groom was a bit warm which could make for an awkward situation or in Tom and Pippa’s case lots of laughs from everyone.” – Christina from Fish 2 Photography.

“This couple had a winter wedding and would have loved for it to snow for some photos, but they had a back-up plan and hired a snow machine. This ended up being very useful as it didn’t snow, but we turned it on during the couple shots and were absolutely blasted with wet, fake snow, but it was definitely worth it!” – Marina from Marina Walker Photo.
