A "Keen" eye for design

Rose & Andrew's Bright & Wild Farbridge Wedding

As a graphic designer it would have been almost impossible for creative groom Andrew Keen to not have come up with some fantastic branding to represent him and wife-to-be Rose on the most important day of their lives! If ever there's a reason deserving a good logo, it's two people, so in love that they are prepared to publicly celebrate this fact by getting hitched! I will talk more of Andrew's brilliant branding later in the blog, but I suppose what struck me the most about this couple's wedding day was that they had understood its significance, not just to them but to their valued guests who were thrilled to share the day with them. This was an event to bring together those young and old, to uphold the seriousness of ceremony, to shed tears of happiness and emotion, to enjoy the sharing of delicious food, to sense the nervousness of speeches delivered, to giggle with laughter at histories told, to feel joy in the music and abandonment in dancing. It was to be surrounded by bright colour in the celebration of two diverse personalities combining, who's value of detail through little thoughtful touches would offer so much meaning to many. This event required creativity, and Rose and Andrew clearly had this awareness - not missing a trick, designing and creating all the elements to provide that seamless and beautiful backdrop by which to celebrate their marriage.

High On Love

Kirstie & Ben's Wedding at Farbridge, West Sussex

I had the pleasure of meeting up with Ben and Kirstie in 2013 soon after their engagement, and was honoured to photograph them in the early weeks of the new year to celebrate the occasion. Having spent a fun few hours together at the shoot, it was a real privilege to be invited to then capture their beautiful wedding day just a couple of months on.

This couple struck me immediately, not only for their obvious style and taste but also due to their difference in height! This unavoidable yet fantastic visual feature of them as a pair added a fun and amusing slant to the photography in both shoots. With Ben standing tall and Kirstie being so petite by his side, I must admit I really enjoyed the challenge of using the height differences creatively to work to their credit whilst bringing dynamic shaping and interest to the pictures.
