Kelly and Jon rock on so many levels, we were very excited to shoot their wedding! The first time we met, Kelly said our work reminded her of Martin Parr. Under no circumstances can we ever dream of touching the genius that is Martin Parr (he is one of my idols!), but just the fact that she mentioned us in the same sentence as him makes me love her! Since that first meeting they have moved to the other side of the world (Australia to be exact), but somehow still managed to pull off organising a beautiful english wedding, complete with a few english showers!
Thornton Manor is a lovely venue. We always seem to go somewhere different for bridal prep, there are so many little cottages dotted around! Here’s where Kelly got ready…
