THE GUARDIAN – feature!

Hi all!

Back in May I shot Jessica and Rob’s wedding at the Tythe Barn in Bicester (view the post here). A short while after the wedding Jess got in touch and said that The Guardian were running a Wedding Guide towards the end of August and that they were interested in using my photographs. I was absolutely made up to hear this and was bursting with excitement. I kept the news on the low down as wasn’t 100% sure that it would come off and didn’t want to end up looking silly if it didn’t. Well……. it did!

Today I rushed to the post office to pick up my three reserved copies of The Guardian and quickly flicked though the paper looking for my shots. I could have cried when I saw it – I was so pleased and actually felt quite proud of myself. When Anthony got in touch with me and asked for some shots I was excited to see what they had chosen. You tend to find when you get magazines run features they dont always pick your favorite shots as they have the reader in mind and what they want to see. The shots Anthony had chosen were not my favorites so after sending them I thought to myself  I have nothing to loose. I sent another email with a few more shots attached just explaining that they were my all time favorites however understood that the article needed to look a certain way. When opening the paper this morning I was amazed to see they had used the shots I had sent making me love the article even more.

Its a funny game weddings as you have the privelege of witnessing couples on the happiest days of their lives sharing their precious moments and celebrations. This morning I had my own little precious moment and finally got to share something I am really proud of with the rest of the nation and thats my photography.

Thanks to all that were involved, I’m one happy girl today!!
