Kids at weddings. It’s a hot topic when considering your day however when the couple of the day have a child themselves they’re obviously going to be a big part of the day. In this dynamic They make a wonderful addition but there’s definitely some things to consider that I’ve experienced that make the day as stress free for the bride & groom with toddlers... • consider having your little one have a sleep over the night before the wedding or if that’s no good have a trusted person who they know look after them for a portion of the morning then get them to you after you’ve got dressed. • allocate a friend or family member who will be at the wedding to be the one responsible for them. Obviously you want everyone to have a relaxing day but most important it’s ok for you to not be full on parenting on this one day, don’t feel guilty. Equally don’t assume that there will be loads of people watching the little one, grown ups so grown up things & kids crack on regardless & countless times I’ve watched as little ones sneak off to fountains/ other areas of the venue on their own & my mum instinct has kicked in to grab a family member to let them know or run over to little one myself. • don’t expect too much from them. Think how nervous you feel about walking down the aisle, they feel that too. It’s ok if they don’t throw the petals perfectly, they’re kids, take their lead & if it’s too much it’s not the end of the world. • similar to above kids don’t care about your Pinterest board. They want to run & play so incorporate this into your pics. I always try to encourage this as you get the best outcome. • snacks!!!! Enough said • any photos including kids get them done ASAP after the ceremony then they’re free to get muddy & messy. • it’s the one day you don’t have to parent like usual. Yeah you’ll probably feel guilty but the babe will be ok. Some will love the experience of being involved some will wonder why you’re not playing paw patrol mid ceremony & be pissed off with you. They’ll get over it if it’s the latter. If they enjoy it what a great excuse to get some gorgeous family pics to treasure 💛 If you made it this far down the caption thank you! 💛

Tonight is all about my wonderful @yasloudon @scottloudon01 and their wonderful wedding at @kingsheadciren on Saturday. I wanted to start with this pic because it’s why I love town wedding photography. Thanks to @madeemporium for setting a fab out of hours backdrop for us. Your symmetrical windows made my heart happy. Almost as happy as this wedding which was my first full day back since October last year. I’m sharing more on my stories and posts about this day which included (but wasn’t limited to... • Great hair & makeup by @hollyandersenhmua • gorgeous late spring flowers by @theflowerfactory95 • exceptional vicar moments at Lydiard Millicent Church. • shout out for client, guests and supplier care and management of the reception by @kingsheadciren especially @elise_envisioned_weddings who made sure everything came together in the lead up and on the day. • wonderful family and friends • and to the band for making me emotional for bringing back weddings even though you made it so hard for us not to dance and shake our thang too! 
Be more William💛 
Wedding mornings should always be this joyous! 💛 As always I love the many hands make light work method for doing up the dress 💛 
I had the best time on Friday for Poppy & Charlie’s wedding at @purtonhouseweddings What these micro weddings have reiterated time and time again over this last mad year is that it’s not the size of the weddings or the flashy stuff that makes it but more quality of people around you & genuine love. This wedding had that in abundance 💛 
Couldn’t be happier for these lovely humans. Helen and Matt stuck by me and worked with me during the debacle that was 2020. For couples planning their wedding the last year has been full of difficult decisions and heartache. Yes we all know more serious things are out there but couples like Helen and Matt have been on the shittest rollercoaster at the fair. Not knowing where we stand and if they’ll be able to go ahead even a month before their wedding! But they were wonderful and to see them say I do filled me with so much joy 💛💛💛 
Dried bouquets for the ladies on Saturday 🌾so sweet and unique. Totally complimented their gorgeous pink dresses. Created by the talent that is @rosyleaflorist for the lovely bride @helen_l_a_j and her fab bridesmaids 💛 
Would you just look at the huge smiles! Wonderful @helen_l_a_j and Matt finally said their vows to one another on Saturday and as you can see they and their chosen 13 were thrilled💛 The legal part signed, sealed and delivered then bring on the party in 2022🙌🏻🙌🏻 Congratulations guys so happy for you 💛💛💛 @helen_l_a_j Bouquet & buttonholes by my babe @rosyleaflorist
