The List: Part 2 - Photographers & Videographers
The next instalment in our ‘List’
is all about photographers & videographers. Arguably, these professionals
are up there with the most important suppliers you will hire. They will be
capturing your day, your memories and telling the story of your special
day. Our ‘Little White Book’ has a
number of brilliant photographers & videographer who we would recommend,
and here are just a couple that we love.
Adam Drake Photography
Adam & Lucy Drake specialise in a relaxed and unobtrusive approach,
capturing the true spirit of your wedding through a true documentary style. In
addition to the story telling documentary images they capture some group images
and shots of the both of you. With their unique approach they record the true
essence of your wedding providing you with a visual story of your day. It is
their belief that you should enjoy your day, it is after all your wedding day
and not a photo shoot which is why they have created our unique method of
capturing your day.

Jon Harper Wedding Photography
Jon’s approach is unobtrusive, relaxed and fun. While
you're busy living in the moment, he will be busy capturing it for you to share
with your children in years to come.
From the nervous bridal preparations to the tears of joy and
those big belly laughs, you can look forward to beautiful, natural photographs
that perfectly depict the fun and emotion of your day.
Unlike lots of photographers, Jon goes the extra mile to
guarantee no special detail of your day is missed. If that means staying up
past bedtime to make sure there is photographic evidence of the shapes being
thrown on the dance floor, he'll be there.

you get someone who is there, on your side, to capture your day for you but
through her eyes. You won’t need to worry about what she is doing, she will
just be there quietly in the background, photographing what she see. Many of her
clients comment that they feel like they’ve just got a friend along with them
for the day, they see her as a reassuring, calm presence who they can lean on
if they need to. Someone who is cheering them on inside yet there busily taking
awesome photographs to remind them of how they feel, in that moment, for the

Pets and Your Wedding
With almost half of all adults in the UK owning a pet, it
is no surprise that people want them to feature more and more in their special
day. Pets are like children, and you wouldn’t want your darling offspring to
miss your wedding, so why would you exclude your furry friends? There are so
many great ways to incorporate your adorable pets in your wedding, even if they
can’t make it to the day itself.
©
Use your pet to propose! A simple sign around
their neck, or a ring hanging from their collar…who could possibly say no?
©
Let them star on your ‘save the dates’ or
invitations. A family photo or a simple paw mark is a lovely way to personalise
your wedding stationary.
©
If you are having engagement photos, take your
four-legged friend(s) along – this is a sure way to create the most adorable
photos that you will treasure for life.
© Find out if your venue allows pets on site. They
will no doubt have ‘rules’ regarding pet care, however, it is always worth
checking. Your pet could have the important job of Ring Bearer or a Flower Girl
escort.
©
If you have a horse, why not ride to your
ceremony?
©
Your wedding photos wouldn’t be complete without
your dog/cat/tortoise!
©
Commission a custom pet-inspired cake topper. Or
you could go one step further and feature your pet on the cake design itself.
If you would like to include your pet at your Berkeley Castle
wedding, please contact Pippa or Jenny to discuss logistics!
