The very best way to get a booking as a Shropshire Wedding Photographer is by personal recommendation, and I was lucky enough to get the booking to cover Kirsty and Jordan's short but ever so sweet wedding, from a recommendation by Ceri, a previous bride.

Sometimes, everything just goes perfectly. Yeah, there has been planning and a lot of work behind the scenes, but sometimes at a wedding, it all just runs perfectly from start to finish...and that is what happened for Nick and Claire for their wedding day recently. A perfect day.

It is easy to be sidetracked into thinking that there is more bad in the world than good - but it is possible to be reminded that there is good out there too, and I had first hand experience of that on Friday when I was called upon to photograph a wedding - well out of my usual area - at the amazingly newly refurbished Blackwell Grange in Darlington.
