I woke up this morning to a rather lovely message from Jade, itâs messages like the one below that really do make me thankful to be part of such incredible days with people. Iâm not just in it for the money, I genuinely give a shit about your memories. Which is why Iâm so direct and open with people, we have to work well together or we just arenât going to work at all !
Anyway, Jade thank you for taking the time to write this - itâs made my day, it really has !
Love you guys !!!
âIt has taken me an incredibly long time to write this because I honestly donât feel that I can put into words just how grateful we are for the photos Paul provided from our wedding.
We booked Paul after attending the evening of a friends wedding, novel a photographer still there in the evening! We honestly thought Paul must have been a family friend he was there all night he had rapport and familiarity with all of the guests... then a week or so later we saw the photos ... Wow the most natural, happy photos Iâd ever seen - I made a beeline for my friends âwho is this family friend heâs amazing, heâs notâ they replied . I couldnât believe it! Not yet engaged but 6 long years into my relationship this was stored in the Rolodex I silently stalked Paulâs page for months and finally I was engaged.
I have to say a few years ago I would have gone for the traditional stand for hours on end to get the countless shots your mum and nan want, but I couldnât bat away the irrational anger I had whenever I saw a couple peeking out from behind a tree, the heart shaped group shots as photographers hung out a room.
I digress, we booked Paul (and yes your mum and nan will probably not understand at first âso there wonât be wont with you and Daniel your cousin you havenât seen for 8 years â?) but my god it was the best decision we made throughout our whole wedding - your day goes by in such a whirl wind and I can honestly say Paulâs photos make me feel the exact way I felt the entire day, they paint a picture of the exact emotions we went through throughout the day. I look at the photos and Paul caught every single shot as though there were several of him from the getting ready to the party in the evening.
Paul you made both Tom and I feel so relaxed you understood that it was so important for us to enjoy the day with our friends and family ( if youâre reading this you probably already know weddings cost a small fortune please if I ever give any advise on a wedding itâs enjoy it,be present) I can honestly say I have no regrets that We donât have countless group shots of forced smiles and gazes into the distance of our friends enjoying the mini burgers .... Our wedding photos are the most perfect representation of not just a nice day but of me and my husband and our wonderful friends and family. Paul you are a wizard and anyone who chooses to have you as there photographer will have the most wonderful, relaxed day with a set of timeless photographs of them looking happier, more relaxed and more in love then any posed photographer could ever create.
If youâre thinking of booking Paul but youâre worried youâll miss an important family member, moment or loving look you wonât I can promise you that! And as for the mums and nans of your world once they see the photos theyâll be won over - All of our skeptical family agreed that he was the best booking we made at the wedding (so much so heâs booked for the next family wedding)
Lots of Love
