30 Days of Wedding Photography | Day 4 | Bridesmaids

"It's not what we have in our life, but who we have in our lives that matters."

Bridesmaids!

I overheard someone once describe bridesmaids as human glitter balls that the bride has by her side, sparkling all day. How cool?

Being a bridesmaid is an important job. In a world where friendship knows no bounds thanks to the digital age, picking your bridesmaids is a huge task! You're there for every moment of planning, hen partying and the wedding day itself.

The squad you select share and revel in your day as much as you. They're as excited, as giddy and can't wait firstly for the hen party and then secondly for the wedding - especially the party!

Being a bridesmaid is a chance to come together and look sensational, as one strong team, bound by friendship, at the side of the bride for the day.

As a photographer, I hear some true revelations that have me in stitches and make me feel like I'm one of the girls whether I like it or not! Especially on the morning of the wedding when the fizz is flowing and the girls are giddy. Their energy, fun, quirks and private jokes are exciting to be around and there are always hilarious moments.

From getting ready in the morning, to guiding their bestie down the aisle, the toasts to their beauty, the bouquet tossing and then the crazy dancing - you can guarantee the bridesmaids will keep the smiles, laughter and moves going all night long.

So here's to all those beautiful bridesmaids I've had the honour of photographing.

Jo, Mark & Mia's Family Photoshoot in Goosnargh, near Longridge, Preston

Well what a blast that was! I travelled out to Goosnargh, near Longridge, Preston, today to meet my great friends Jo & Mark, and photograph their little girl, Mia-Rose. She’s beautiful!

The weather was just fantastic; warm & sunny! To add to the amazing weather, their house looks out towards Beacon Fell, which provides a stunning view. We started with some photos within the house to get Mia used to the camera, then made our way outside to the garden to capture some summer-feeling images.

Jo, Mark, it was lovely to catch up with you, and meet your beautiful little girl, Mia.
