POLARIS HALL WEDDING

You’d think after even a few years of shooting weddings I’d have pretty much seen it all. But nine years in and I’m still getting my socks blown off by all the creative twists and personal touches my clients put on things. At Mandy and Richard’s wedding in particular it was their hand-drawn sketches of every single guest (even a baby!) that they used as a seating guide. Richard is an artist so this offbeat detail they commissioned a friend to create had a charming personal touch to it. They looked amazing next to the bright and bubbly decor, and fit in perfectly with the sweet and lighthearted mood of the day.
