Its come to that time of year when we reflect on our years weddings and look forward to another amazing year of weddings in 2012, this year we photographed 31 weddings which was 1 over our target of 30, in previous years we have had a target of 40 but this year we decided to cut it down to 30 weddings to give us a little more time together with the family which is so important, we only went over by 1 to accommodate one of our lovely bridesmaids from a previous wedding.
We love our weddings and hope that shown in our photos, we would love you to leave us a message at the end of this blog post to let us know your favourite photo, I am sure the couples will appreciate that as will Sue and I, during 2012 we will be running a monthly ‘COMMENT CONTEST” and the best comment every month will receive a prize so get commenting folks
