Are you available on such and such a date and how much do you charge? Perfectly valid questions to ask when contacting a wedding photographer no doubt. I suppose you could leave it at that too, at least in the first instance.
Not so David.
When David first contacted me by email he and Laura had not yet fixed a date for their wedding. That first contact was made in 2010; the wedding would take place in 2011 or maybe even 2012. Laura had already bought her dress and David, being an avid photographer himself, had been on the hunt for the right person to photograph their wedding. Whenever it was to take place. And there was the venue to pin down too.
Laura & David scale mountains together. He’d proposed to her on the summit of Ben Nevis. Attached to that initial email was a photograph of them together, taken just after the proposal and Laura’s acceptance. David spoke in his email of the photographs being the only window that his and Laura’s grandchildren would have to peer back through onto and into their wedding day. Considering the fact they have no grandchildren, indeed no children yet to bear them grandchildren, this was a sentiment that struck straight to the heart of why I do what I do.
Talk about making me want to photograph a wedding. Had it transpired that I’d not been available on the date they ultimately settled upon I’d have moved mountains myself to line them up with the best possible alternative photographer for their needs but it all worked out perfectly which I’m especially happy of as I got to do that thing which I love doing and had a thoroughly enjoyable time of it too.

Laura & David got engaged on the summit of Ben Nevis, Laura bought her dress, they spoke with me about photography then booked Chettle House to marry in, Cranborne Village Hall to celebrate in and me to do that thing we’d spoken about. A thoroughly enjoyable process from initial contact to final image delivery. There’s a clearly glazed window into the marriage ceremony in Part One; from here on in it’s time to eat, drink and be merry and my thanks to Laura & David for seeing to it that I had an opportunity to join in to the full, though I didn’t get merry (whilst I remained consistently jolly) as I didn’t avail myself of the drink (other than water) but the meal was rewarding indeed.
