Nina Hunter of Love Life Design & her hubby Simon who owns the very cool Remedy Hairdressing Salon in Leeds tied the knot last year but were really keen to go for a post wedding photography shoot as they felt their day hadn’t given them the time and scope to capture some edgier portraits of the two of them.  The rain kindly stayed away and despite the cold Nina bravely wore her lovely wedding dress and amazing shoes with Simon donning his very cool tailored suit.  As their ceremony had been at Leeds Civic Hall we based ourselves around Millennium Square and the glamorous back streets in the vicinity!  They were both absolute stars and I love the really cool urban edge to the images.  I’ve processed the images in my digital darkroom to give them a more vintage vibe…

I’m not a big fan of the concept of “Trash the Dress” as with my eco-friendly hat on I believe a wedding dress is for life not just a wedding shoot – but the idea of a “Love the Dress” approach is a great one.   Some couples can feel that their wedding day just goes far too quickly and love the chance to wear their fab wedding outfits again.  For others it might be that they want to try something a little bit braver or modern.  Or sadly, for some couples they just weren’t happy with the images created on their wedding day or on a more positive note they might have got married abroad but want somthing on home turf that celebrates their marriage.  It doesn’t just have to be about edgy urban backdrops – it’s about finding a location that says something about you as a couple.  I’d love to have a chat if you’re interested in a post wedding shoot – do visit my website for more info about me and my approach to weddings.
