While some brides still wear veils for religious or cultural reasons, many others wear them because they like the look. Modern veil traditions purely reflect personal style. The wedding veil is all about making a statement.
On your wedding morning
On your wedding morning I arrive to capture two hours of the build up to your ceremony and I capture all those moments and details which you don't want to miss. Details you want to remember forever, your engagement ring and jewellery, your perfume, your something borrowed, something blue and another tradition, your veil....
You can trace the veil's roots back to Rome, where a bride used to walk down the aisle with a veil over her face in order to disguise herself from any evil spirits who wanted to stand in the way of her happiness.
Whilst all around you is maybe a little hectic - once you have your shoes on and your veil secured in place -its time to absorb it all in - you are off to get married.....
Even if you choose not to wear a veil down the aisle during your ceremony, you always have the option of a veil in the ‘getting ready’ room to capture romantic bridal portraits that you will cherish forever.
Longer veils make for a dramatic entrance and give an overall stunning elegant look, while shorter veils are fresh and fun.

Newly-wed images
On your wedding day, once your ceremony is complete & you have had chance to chat with your loved ones I invite you to take 20-30 minutes out with me to take your newly-wed/couple photographs.
Moments of 'you' time on the most important day...
What ever makes you 'you' I want to see it on your wedding day... I want your couple images to be as natural as possible - my way is to let you both relax and let me do 'my thing'!
Today wedding veil's are widely accepted as a bridal accessory that adds a perfect finishing touch to the overall bridal look, modern brides use the wedding veil as a way to show their personal style with a nod to tradition along with other personal touches....
Some girls do, some don't.....
On Emily & Kerry's wedding day, Emily opted to wear a veil & Kerry didn't - both wedding dresses were stunning and suited each of them perfectly...
As the sun sets....
Keep that veil on....
Later in the day, as the sun sets (weather permitting) I invite you once again to join me for 10-15 minutes to capture some truly beautiful sunset images...
Whatever your style - you can't beat a veil can you?
now, off to your reception...
