As a family man, it was a real pleasure to photograph the wedding of Donna & Gary and the naming ceremony of Anna and Edie, their two beautiful daughters. As is always the case when working with children, nothing ever goes quite to plan… as you can see when Edie decided that she was not going to let go of mummy – no matter what! But this just added to the occasion and I was in my element. The brief from Donna & Gary was to keep everything as casual as possible and to photograph mostly in a reportage style. This worked particularly well in the intimate setting of Broadoaks luxury Country House hotel at Windermere.
