Ann & Nic's Wedding

Wow where to start! I thoroughly enjoyed photographing Ann & Nic's big day, a truly personal wedding day exactly how they wanted it to be. The day had so many superb elements, from the lego theme, the relaxed feel, outdoor speeches, personalised converse trainers, Batman cufflinks, scalextric and other games, and the great Cumbrian scenery.

It's important to remember that your wedding day is about YOU, so do it how you want to..... Traditional weddings are fantastic if that's what you want for your big day, but if it's not your style then don't be afraid to break the mould a little :)

Honeymoon - We had a mini-moon in Portugal for the week after the wedding because we just needed to sit for a while and not think! We are going to New York for Christmas this year as a proper honeymoon.

Favourite memory from the day - Ann: I feel like it went so quickly that my favourite memories are just the things that stuck with me. Robin (Brides escort) and I doing the CanCan outside the marquee before the ceremony, my nephew Jack doing his reading and stealing the show, watching everyone playing the games.

Nic: about 4pm in the afternoon, standing with Ann at the top of the garden, watching everyone chilling out on the lawn and playing with the kids.

Advice to other couples - Be true to yourself and what you want from your wedding, decide in advance those things that are really important to you as a couple those things you won't compromise on. Weddings can get expensive, but if you know in advance your "must haves" you know which bits you are willing to compromise on! (The same can be said for those overly helpful people you'll meet!)
