Colin&Mely Wedding | Leicester, UK

OK, what just happened? 

You see, usually I meet the couple prior to their wedding day twice: on their pre-wedding, elopement photo shoot day and, if required, another time to further discuss their Big Day by which time we know each other well and I’m documenting the day being a fly-on-the-wall. To be honest, I love this process and, through it, I build the images in my head already, the memories I would then capture to show the real You in my clients’ wedding photos. Things were a bit different with Colin&Mely, though, as we met on the day, in Leicester, UK, where they had flown all the way from Germany where they live. And then, some of their family and friends came all the way from the U.S. and Zimbabwe to witness their love on an unusually hot September day – 31 degrees anyone? Yep!

I mentioned getting to know couples above just because on this occasion I didn’t have the opportunity to meet Colin&Mely beforehand. But know what? It actually didn’t matter one bit! From the very first moments of their wedding day, the preparations around a house in Leicester they had rented for the day, we felt like we had known each other already for some time! Conversations flew naturally, jokes poured from the jolly faces and there was no stop to the positive vibe both they as well as their friends and family projected. And things continued into the night, still hot, with a myriad of moments and memories created… This truly was a different kind of an event and everyone involved absolutely loved it!

Colin&Mely, You are absolutely amazing and let Your L O V E shine throughout! And when you’re back in the UK, we already know a compulsory catch up is in order!
