Wedding Photos!

Mum and I went to another Wedding Fair today, this time just a local one in Sutton Holiday Inn. There were some really good stalls there today considering the venue isn't that big, and we talked to some people about honeymoon destinations (Virgin will have a sale April 2013 for Caribbean destinations for 2014 - something to bear in mind!), and wedding rings. There is a great little company called "Smooch" who are based online and create bespoke rings at no extra cost. Their prices seem very reasonable on first glance, and they had some lovely designs at the fair today. They come to your home and bring a selection of rings for you to try or give you ideas of your own, and seem really nice and easygoing, so this might be something to consider.

We also spoke to a gentleman about flowers, and saw a couple of fantastic ideas which are quite simple to create some effective table decorations, such as a few flowers in what looks like a giant cocktail glass, or in a bowl like this:

I think this is something which may be quite easy to do ourselves, and anything us or family can do to help lower costs is very welcome!

The best thing about the fair today was that I have found my photographer! A lady called Fiona Kelly who is just the most incredible wedding photographer I have seen. Looking through her photos actually bought a tear to my eye, she captures the mood fantastically and her photos are both emotive and artistic, I was very impressed. We got chatting about photography, as only yesterday I had been on a course with my dad about using a DSLR camera as we are both very much into photography too, and she invited me to come and assist her at other weddings! This is a great idea, not onlt to get some more photograpy experience but if Fiona is going to be my photographer then it would be nice to get to know her a bit better and vice versa, so then the photos will be all that more personal. Anyone reading this blog who is looking for a photographer I strongly recommend clicking on the link to her page above and taking a look at her gallery, and you will see exactly what I mean.

This blog could therefore take a slightly different direction if I have a go at wedding photography, but it will also give me plently more ideas for my big day!
