We love to chat all things wedding-related. We welcome all conversations - including the potentially awkward and challenging. If a topic is important to either of you, it is important to us, too. The reality is this: life is not always straightforward. Life does not have to be straightforward. It would be boring if it was! Weddings (and the resulting relationship dynamics as two families map out a future with both of them in it - or not in it, as the case might be) can be really convoluted - and that is okay. Your story is your story. If it helps, we are happy to work around any situation. At the end of the day, we are not being paid to judge your situation or circumstances - or story. We are there to fulfil our role of capturing your day - and the emotions involved - exactly as it unfolds. We find sometimes couples share the details of their day and the people involved almost apologetically or with caveats. We almost always interject and reassure that we do not need to know the intimate details if that is not comfortable for either or both of you. Of course, we are happy to listen if it is something that you want to share, though, and helps you to know that you are supported/understood. It is entirely up to you. Just know that we will not be judging/be surprised/curate your story to suit any bias you think we might have. After all, we can empathise; I (Em) was thrilled to have my wonderful uncle walk me down the aisle. I get that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to weddings that come in every shape and size possible. :)

Speaking of the aisle, here are just some variants we have seen/heard about when it comes to the Big Walk:
Bride herself
Bride & Groom together
Father
Mother
Father & Mother
Step-dad
Step-mum
Step-dad & Father (honestly - this is so amazing to see!)
Father-in-law (even royalty are not strangers to “nontraditional” family dynamics)
Grandfather
Grandmother (my - Em’s - personal favourite involvement of grandmother is as a flower “girl” - gets me every time!)
Godfather
Brother
Brother-in-law
Child/Children
Uncle
Aunt
Family friend
At the end of the day, you do you - whatever that looks like! We will be there with you every step of the way and would be delighted to capture the visual story from your day. Feel free to reach out!
