Your Yorkshire Wedding - Jan/Feb 2018 (Issue 28)

Love the cover shot for of this issue of Y our Yorkshire Wedding Magazine? There’s a good story behind it and a very important take-home message for every bride and groom! Hannah and Dave Stevenson planned their wedding in just under three months, and in the rush to get everything organised, chose a photographer without properly considering what they wanted. “I told them that we just needed them for three hours which meant that so much of our day was missed,” says Hannah. When we got our final pictures back, we were upset that we hadn’t captured the full story of our day but then came across Anna Beth Photography and decided we’d make the best of the situation and have a post wedding shoot – at the very least it gave me the chance to wear my dress again,” says Hannah. We think you’ll agree that the outcome was beautiful and the duo now have their ‘wedding’ shots in pride of place in the living room. “I’d encourage every couple to consider their photography needs very carefully in the run up to the big day – you're creating very special memories that can't be recaptured.” says Hannah.
