Who? Three Flowers Photography Prices? A popular choice is nine hours with a second shooter for £1,800 Contact www.threeflowersphotography.co.uk Why me? “I remain as unobtrusive as possible, shooting the day as it unfolds,” says Charlotte. “My clients tend to be apprehensive about photos and look for a relaxed approach. Every wedding is different, with a range of spontaneous moments and conditions which allow me to be truly creative with whatever I’m given. It’s a privilege to document big moments in families’ stories. So much life unfolds at a wedding, but you won’t see it if you’re spending the whole day setting up shots. It’s a day you can’t get back, so live it – and let me capture its beauty!” Who? Shianne Mercer Photography Prices? £1,300 - £2,500 Contact www.shiannemercerphotography.com Why me? “My style is best described as natural, emotive and story-telling,” explains Shianne. “I understand the importance of formal group portraits, but also like my photos to tell a visual story. I love that each day is different, and how each moment is a precious memory created on one of the most magical moments of your life. For me, the perfect shot isn’t that picture perfect portrait you see on Pinterest. My favourites are those that hold a sentimental value, forever. I always advise my couples to be themselves and enjoy their day, so I can capture them in their truest form.” www.threeflowersphotography.co.uk www.shiannemercerphotography.com www.shiannemercerphotography.com www.threeflowersphotography.co.uk Who? Tom Halliday Photography Prices? £1,650 - £2,250 Contact www.tomhalliday.com Why me? “My style is modern wedding photography with a creative streak, making sure your personality shines through,” says Tom. “I love meeting new people, getting to know them and documenting the most awesome day of their lives. Capturing the emotional moments – along with the utter drunk chaos in the evening – is the best job in the world! Just be sure to trust your photographer’s judgement, not taking things too seriously and instead having fun and being yourself. Your photographer will be with you all day, so it’s important you feel comfortable with them, as that way you’ll get the best images.” www.tomhalliday.com www.tomhalliday.com 62
