An excellent wedding to start 2012 with, and a lot of pictures too for a blog post, so be patient while they load!
It’s Christmas tomorrow and nobody in the Gilbert household is going to sleep tonight!
We’re unashamedly huge fans of Christmas here- not just for the great food, fine wines and present giving but for the time we spend with family and friends and for the magical feel that is almost unique to this time of year. In the excitement of the build-up I’m always struck by how lucky Helen and I are to spend our working life capturing days that in many respects feel very similar- love filled celebrations called weddings. This year has been wonderful for us, we’ve photographed weddings in a great variety of places- not just churches and grand houses but beaches, ruined castles, boats, woodland clearings, tractors! But for Helen and myself, however interesting the location, the important thing is the people and there again we’ve been so lucky- a succession of lovely couples who asked us to be a part of their joyful day, and their family and friends who welcomed two strangers with open arms and allowed us to capture the images that mean so much to the Bride and Groom. With gratitude and fond memories, Helen and I wish you all a wonderful Christmas and everything you could wish for from the New Year.
Cheers!
Simon.
