It’s true. I don’t always remember what a couple looks like between the time of our first meeting and our second meeting which is often 12 months later, particularly when our first meeting is done over Skype. Such was the case with Olivia and Francis.
For many months those names were staring down at me from my whiteboard (well, I’d actually written Liv and Frank) and as their wedding came near I tried to remember / imagine what they looked like. I came to the conclusion that they were both cool sounding names and as such I was expecting a cool looking couple – I also imaged Frank would almost certainly have a beard. Imagine my surprise when they knocked on the door to my home studio and looked exactly as I expected!!
The wedding itself was beautiful, I felt very welcomed and just one of the gang on the day, there were loads of natural happy smiles from the wedding party and guests all day long and the venues of St Peters College and Mt Lofty House meant I had easy access to some great photographic backdrops. To cap things off I also took my best ever “Nan on the dance-floor” shot, one of my favourite things to shoot on a wedding day.
First dance, mount lofty house
