“I love that one of the family members hand-picked the petals from her garden for the bride and groom’s wedding day. I thought there was something super special about this particular confetti throw!” – Abigail Aston from Abi Lauren Photo.

“Obie waited perfectly for his big moment as this couple said: “I do”. Unfortunately, he stood at the back of the room and didn’t do exactly as he was told, but it worked out perfectly for me with this shot.” – James Merrick from James Merrick Photography.

“This couple loved including a smoke bomb into their special day, and it really made their photos pop!” – Abigail from Abi Lauren Photo. “Earlier this year I was in the Lake District with Sam and Adam for their big day, the weather was incredible and we were looking for a spot to find shade. Having scouted a location earlier in the day, I persuaded the couple to trust me and walk up a pretty steep patch of woodland and got this.” – Chris from Ginger Jam Photography.
