Him&Her
You’re Engaged! CONGRATULATIONS! You’ve met your ideal partner, you’re happy busy people planning to show the world you’re a team - you’re both pretty smart, well traveled, you sometimes dance in the kitchen and you’re full of good ideas for the big day, but you’ve maybe never hired a professional photographer, so that feels a bit weird right? You’re serious about getting great photographs of a once in a lifetime day. You’d like photographers on your team who’ll listen,
understand what makes you two special, work with you both to catch the fun forever. Someone who doesn’t get in the way but confidently steps up to provide direction when required, and for your guests and special people to feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the day.
Lisa&Neil
Lisa&Neil
AN INTERVIEW WITH We thought it would be interesting to ask previous clients for some interview questions as we’re not all that good at the self-promotion thing. How did you both meet? Lisa: This is a funny story. So, I was studying photography at college. I ended up modeling for myself, taking selfies and soon my college friends asked if I could model for them too. I really enjoyed modelling so continued for awhile. I came across Neil’s work and fell in love with his photography, he was an enthusiastic hobbyist at the time. I really loved his work because it was full of nature and completely different to anything I’d seen. I was quite scatty, being nineteen and would cancel plans a lot so when we arranged
our shoot (it was a Friday afternoon in March 2013) I glued one of his images into my brain as a reminder as to why I shouldn’t cancel on him. It worked and I even turned down an underwater shoot so I could keep my appointment with him. I sat in his lounge and he sat opposite me on a foot st00l to ask what I had pictured for the shoot. After that,
I had no idea what he said because within those ten minutes I completely fell in love with him (cringe, sorry).

We haven’t stopped since. before the dementia really kicked in What made you decide to make a business and whilst she could still remember us. together within the wedding industry? If we had a more “out there” wedding it Lisa: I’m in a soppy mood after the would’ve taken longer to plan and save last question, sorry aha. We found each other, we both had a love for photography but we were both happily wandering around with cameras with no real direction. When we met, everything kind of fell into place. Business wise, we were like a match made in heaven. I was great at the websitey stuff and marketing and Neil had the gift of the gab. We’ve kind of met half way since, but I know we so that wouldn’t have been possible. wouldn’t be where we are now if we Neil: In a more perfect world, it’d be didn’t have each other. lovely to get a big field, some bands we Neil: I did weddings solo, and enjoyed know and a load of tents and spend the

Would you ever take on the challenge of photographing a cat wedding? Neil: Nope, that’s a wedding I need to be a guest at! Lisa: I’ve thought this out very carefully before this question was asked so yes, of course haha. I’ve imagined a crazy Auntie Cat at this wedding, but instead of getting in the way taking photos, she’d be getting in the way by doing yoga style washing (you know how cats do?) down the middle of the aisle and during speeches.
What are your favourite things to see at a wedding? Lisa: ‘Things’ don’t really make a wedding great. The people make a
man who’s chatty - I tend not to worry wedding great, but I guess that’s a about being invisible and just avoid given. The only thing I really like to see is a wedding dress that makes the Bride being intrusive. Half my favourite shots are born out of having feel amazing. It really makes a difference to “ photography gives me a a giggle with people, lucky feeling buzz every so they don’t worry the photos. time I think about it “ about my camera.

It’s a brilliant way to pay the bills, and every time the camera comes out, there’s some magic remember from it. If you then think ‘us happens! Lisa: Everything.

Jade & Craig REAL WEDDING
Jade, one of our Brides, in 2018 was featured on ‘Boho weddings’ blog.
“Hengrave Hall was the third venue we viewed and as soon as we arrived we knew we didn’t need to view any more. It was always one of our favourites on our list as it ticked so many boxes for us - we wanted a church on site, accommodation on site for our friends and family to stay with us and it was just absolutely stunning! We had 100 guests to the day, 150 to the evening. We got married almost 2 years after our engagement. In those 2 years we had our youngest son as well so the couple of years to plan whilst juggling our now two sons was useful.” How they met “We went to school together so we knew of each other, but didn’t actually know one another. Several years later we crossed paths at a mutual friends Daughters first birthday party where we didn’t directly speak but after the party Craig then did the very modern thing of going on a liking spree of my instagram posts! Three months later he finally
last few months got totally carried built up the courage to arrange a date away and the budget with me through another mutual “The most amazing day in went out of the window! We were friend and the rest is every single way that was an so set on having history!” absolute dream come true. our dream day we The proposal We wish we could re-live it didn’t want to regret “It was Craig’s 28th birthday and I had all over again, loved every anything and we were fortunate enough to taken him to London second!” have exactly that.” for a surprise, just Where did you splurge and the two of us. Well where did you save? at least I thought it was a surprise for him… In fact he surprised me by saying “My dress, Craig’s suit, photography, flowers and entertainment were “we’ve just got to nip somewhere” priorities to us so we didn’t hold which happened to be The Dorchester where I was seated for afternoon tea on arrival. Craig then disappeared. I was left very confused and alone at the table having no idea what was going on. All of a sudden I saw our Son Zane, being carried towards me by Craig, saying “Mummy I have sparkle for you!” The next thing I know, Craig is on one knee proposing with my Mum and his Mum there with Zane watching. How did you prioritise your budget? back on those however we were lucky “We budgeted for the most important enough to save money in other areas and necessities to start with and in the such as the decor because that’s what I specialise in with my own business, so my creative side helped us with making our own invites, favours, signs, table plan etc.” How did you choose your photographer? “A couple we knew from school had got married at Hengrave two years before us so when we saw their photos and loved them we contacted Neil & Lisa
because we were confident we liked their style.”
Who was your dress by? And your accessories and shoes? “My dress was by Berta from The Wedding Club in Knightsbridge, London. I then made my own little changes to the dress to make it unique to me which I had done in store by their recommended seamstress who did a fantastic job. My shoes were a Gucci black and gold heel that were a total contrast to my dress which tied in with our colour scheme. My veil, also from The Wedding Club and I had it hand embroidered with “Nanny” in ... memory of her (who I had very sadly lost only weeks before our wedding day.) It was very important to me that she was still a huge part of our day and there with me. All my jewelery was my Nanny’s.” The suit and bridesmaids “Craig’s suit was made to measure by Jack Bunneys in Upminster, London. His shoes were Joseph Cheaney & Sons. Craig hired his Groomsmen’s suits from Jack Bunney’s who ...
... provided a made to measure quality and fit in a rental suit. My four Bridesmaids wore gorgeous black full length dresses purchased from Forever Unique. They had beautiful beading detail, open back and a train to die for.”
Theme or colour scheme “Our colour scheme was black and gold and we wanted an elegant and stylish
theme.” What sort of flowers did you have?
“We kept all the flowers to white/ cream, lots of Roses and Gypsophila. The foliage consisted of a little Fern and Eucalyptus and the rest was all cut from my Nanny’s beautiful garden which again was another special touch that made her part of the day. Such a special idea suggested by my florist
which meant so much on the day.” Food “Our caterers were Milsoms who blew us away with their fantastic menu which we struggled to choose from because it all was amazing.” Wedding cake “Our cake was six very grand tiers in our black and gold colour scheme. It was made by the talented Vanilla Cake Design who followed the design I drew myself.” Entertainment “We had an electric Violinist, Sally Potterton and Saxophonist, Andre SaxMan Brown. Sally played throughout the day. She was then was joined by André in the evening for our reception
where they collaborated which was mad!” Special moments Craig: “Jade walking down the aisle. Andre and Sally playing during our first dance.” Jade: “That’s so difficult, the whole day was so special. Seeing our boys dressed outside the church for the first time waiting for me was amazing, they
looked adorable! The courtyard set up was a dream come true for me, I had prayed for that outside wedding breakfast for 2 years
but it was always weather permitting so when the sun was shining and we had the go ahead I was over the moon! Just seeing all my little touches come together and all the planning become reality, was a dream come true!” Advice for other couples “Take in and enjoy every little second because it goes so so fast! All the stressful planning process and worrying does pay off in the end and on the day everything really does just come together.” Head to our blog for more real weddings.
Timeline
WEDDING DAY

CEREMONY Ceremonies vary in length depending on whether you are having a Non-Religious Ceremony/ Civil/ Church or Partnership. The person leading your arrangement will be able to give you an estimate.
RECEPTION This is the perfect time for us to get lots of lovely natural and candid photos of you and your guests. Also the time we can do your group photos and couple portraits. We recommend allowing 2 hours from arrival at the reception to sitting for food.
Non-Religious Ceremony – 20 to 45 mins. Civil Wedding / Partnership – 30 to 45 mins. Religious Ceremony – 45 to 90 mins.
1
GETTING READY If you’re having your hair and makeup done professionally then ask your hair and make-up artist how long they think they will take. Getting ready for the ladies normally takes around three hours and a little (or a lot) less for the boys. Lisa will be with the girls for two hours and Neil with the boys for around an hour.
3
PORTRAITS We like to do two portrait sessions if we can, one during the drinks reception and another after dinner, hopefully capturing some beautiful sunset photos during golden hour or night photos during Winter For each session it’s nice to allow about 20 minutes.
7
6
CAKE CUT AND FIRST DANCE Maybe you’ll wait for evening guests before cutting the cake or maybe you’re having cake for afters! Either way it takes about 5 minutes. Then it’s first dance - woohoo! This is the bit that kicks off the evening party and is the last of the ‘official’ parts of the day.
SPEECHES & WEDDING BREAKFAST It normally takes about 30 minutes to an hour for three speeches. Your caterers will plan how long service will take. As a general guide allow two hours for a three course meal. Whilst you and your guests are eating, we will take our break as no one wants photographers lurking about making everyone feel self conscious!
5 GROUP PHOTOS During your reception, we can take the traditional family photos. Starting with an ‘everyone’ photo we’ll then go through the list of pictures you want. We recommend six individual photos which takes around twenty minutes. This is super easy and fun. After your wedding breakfast, we can head outside with you and your Bridesmaids and Groomsmen for some more relaxed photos (post toast goodness!).
8
EVENING After first dance, hopefully all your best people will join you on the dance floor and the parties in full swing.
Timing
TIPS
GETTING READY
CEREMONY
If your bridal party are doing their own hair and make-up then ask them how long they think it will take them to get ready and then double it. Overexcited Bridesmaids always take longer to get ready than they think, which is half the fun!
Make sure you invite your guests at least thirty minutes before the Ceremony begins. Groom and Ushers should be there forty five minutes early to greet them.
FAMILY PHOTOS
SPEECHES
We’ll ask you to write a list of traditional family photos you’d like. We recommend six. When writing your list be specific, avoiding phrases like “immediate family”. Give us names.
If you have nervous speakers, maybe do your speeches at the beginning rather than at the end of your wedding breakfast, this way everyone can enjoy the meal, and guests who haven’t met each other before will have an ice breaker.
NEIL AND LISA’S BEST TIP Your wedding day will fly by, before you know, it will be ‘dark-O-clock’. Make sure you take time in the day to pause and look around. We’ll try and help you plan in moments alone together.
CONFETTI ! It takes about ten minutes to arrange your guests in a couple of lines to do confetti. We suggest you tuck yourselves away after exiting the ceremony and stay hidden while all your guests leave the venue (it’ll save you having to do the ‘cuddles and congrats’ phase in the door of the venue whilst everyone tries to get out!) . This way you can then exit to confetti and big cheers from your guests. Allow twenty minutes for confetti overall. Rule: Too much confetti is just enough.
Anna & Jonny REAL WEDDING
Anna and Jonny had a beautiful Church ceremony during Summer 2018 followed by a reception at Milsoms Kesgrave Hanger. Here’s Anna’s take on the day... How did you meet? “We met through mutual friends over ten years ago when I was only just fifteen! Needless to say my Dad was not a fan of my eighteen year old new Boyfriend… Luckily for me, it was meant to last forever and here we are.” Tell us about the proposal “We went on holiday with my family and two of our best friends. I had given up on any hope of getting engaged after over 6 months of nagging so had no idea at all. Jonny insisted on taking a disgusting PE bag out with him for dinner (which I now know contained the ring), I was not impressed and proceeded to drink every single alcoholic beverage in sight! On the way back to the villa, he asked me to take a picture on the beach and got down on one knee. When we got back to the villa my parents had bought every bottle of Moet that Lanzarote had to
is one of my best traits but it got harder the closer we got to the wedding. All in all, we planned our wedding in around a year.” We know you’re a great planner and organiser, how did the process go for your big day? “We booked our venue first, this was the bit I wanted to get right! We had our wedding in my family church which was the only bit I was certain about. offer and had decorated with banners My Mum and Dad were married at and balloons - it was the most amazing this church and my Grandad is buried evening and one I will never forget!” there, making it very special to me and What was your vision for your wedding day? my family. From here, we looked at “I just wanted to have fun and enjoy venues within a 20 mile radius. After every second. Jonny and I are very looking at around five, we fell in love family and friend orientated - our house with Kesgrave and booked almost is never quiet and we have an incredibly there and then. We wanted a venue that would accommodate lots of guests
close group of friends. We wanted everyone we love to be part of our day and to celebrate with us.” When did you start planning your wedding and how long did the planning process take? “We got engaged in June 2017 and by August 2017, we had our date and venue booked! The planning process for me was incredibly enjoyable as organisation
and being able to book out the whole hotel really helped to achieve this. We also wanted a venue with ample space
indoors and out and Kesgrave really delivered on this. The accommodation was also beautiful which was a huge selling point, not to mention the grounds! As for the other bits and bobs, I found this easier and used recommendation for lots of things. My key areas to get right were photography (which we got SO RIGHT with Lisa and Neil), videography and the flowers. I was over the moon with all my choices on the day!” How did dress and suit shopping go? “Luckily for me, I found the dress of my dreams in the first shop I visited! I didn’t want to take it off and bought it there and then! I was also...
... incredibly lucky that a family friend
owned the shop so I received a five star experience throughout. With suits, I went with Jonny at first to get a feel for style and colour. He went back with his Groomsmen and Dads to decide on the final suit (I did change the colour of the cravats the week before the wedding but that’s another story!!).” What was your most memorable moment of the wedding?
“Walking down the aisle with my Dad. I felt every emotion on that walk and will never ever forget it. The speeches were incredible and so funny. I was the butt of most of the jokes which made it even funnier, but they could not have
when I was wearing my dress! I held it together as I didn’t want my expensive make up to run off my face but the whole getting ready procedure was very emotional. My Mum gave me her wedding ring as my something borrowed and this was also a really emotional moment. The bit that made me cry the most was the first dance. During the chorus, our best friends (Bridesmaids and Groomsmen - we had
done a better job. I was so proud of all three of them!” What made you cry? “Seeing my Dad for the first time fourteen!) joined us on the dance floor and I don’t think there was a dry eye in sight.”
What’s your favourite photo from your wedding day and why? “I absolutely love the ones Lisa and Neil took of us in the field. Although my heels were sinking and my veil kept
falling off, they are absolutely stunning. If I’m honest, I love every single one of our photos. Lisa and Neil are incredible photographers and were able to tell the story of our wedding day perfectly. We got married over 3 months ago now and I have looked at our photos on a daily basis! I couldn’t have wished for better photographers!” If you could plan and redo your wedding again, is there anything you would do differently? “I would worry less about the small details. I spent a lot of time worrying that I didn’t have enough decorations or the room was going to look empty. On the day, it was completely perfect and I don’t know why I worried.”
