Venue: Harte and Garter
Harte and Garter wedding photography | Nick and Zoe
My wife went for lunch today with a friend and was asked; “Does Neale enjoy just doing wedding photography?” If third party statements alone drove one’s ambitions, that one account surely reinforced why I have specialised in the field of nuptials capture. Life’s plans may alter direction for sure, but in my World, in the here and now, I am practically giddy with ideas for new styles of wedding capture, new forms of albums and ways to breathe (no pun intended) increased credibility into an industry that seems frequented by too many ‘visitors’ fielding couples as a ‘fall back’ opportunity during flailing day to day professional activities. The answer to my wife’s friend is therefore yes, a thousand times. A thousand thousand times. And then some. Every time I attend a ceremony I’m acutely aware that I’m witness to someone’s most sincere private occasion. I believe I share real life changing moments. Maybe not on a World scale no, but the significance for the couple who stand before my lens is as magnificent as makes no odds, and that is why I enjoy ‘just’ being a wedding photographer. Nick and Zoe summed it up for me recently as they wed within the four walls of Windor’s Harte and Garter. Watching emotions unfold before you and being part of a story may sound rather cliche, but I wouldn’t swap it for all the platitudes proffered during a Wedding Photographer of the Year acceptance speech.
