One of the things I love about photographing weddings is watching the nervous bride transform into an absolutely stunning princess ready to meet her prince in shining armour…. (okay I am a hopeless romantic and needless to say, my hubby isn’t so I need to get my romance from somewhere – maybe that’s why I love weddings so much?!!)

But it’s really quite fun being able to capture the whole process of getting ready – the bride and her bridesmaids as well as the mother-of-the-bride and mother-of-the groom versus the groom and his bunch of friends – you get to be part of incredible moments of emotion and love, as well as unbelievable humour (guess that’s from the nerves or maybe the champagne??) and sometimes overhear a few words of wisdom too…

But it makes it extra special when the beautiful bride that you are photographing is about to become your sister-in-law and you just know that she adores your brother and that he adores her and that they make each other very,very happy! It’s one of those special moments in your life when you just know that there is a bigger plan out there than we can ever comprehend and it fills me with such joy!

Anyway, photographing my brother’s wedding was great fun (especially since I had too much champagne) and was a real honour (even though I didn’t get to be in any of the photos – boohoo) and I just think that Alexis made the most beautiful bride and I just know that she makes a beautiful wife too…. I think my brother should count his lucky stars……

To JJ and Lex – I love you guys!!! Mwah!!!
