It’s that time of year! Finally my 2019 Roundup time! Goodbye 2019! What an amazing year you have been and the best yet!
How is this work?
It’s hard to put into words how grateful I am to call this my ‘job’. Obviously I take it more seriously than any job I have ever had however I can’t say it’s work.
The excitement I get driving to my wedding! Thoughts i.e. Will the groom cry when he catches the first glimpse of his bride? Will the father of the bride make me cry with his speech? Who is going to let rip on the dance floor?
Furthermore, I love doing my 2019 roundup as above all it means eventually going through all my images from the past 12 months, hence this round up.
What’s been my favourite wedding?
I always get asked what’s been your best wedding? Basically I can never pick one!
There have been some highlights though, for example, Fran and Toms amazing weekend festival wedding in France also THAT yellow wedding dress!
I could go on, however in true Hollywood style and as its award season (the only way I get through Jan/Feb) I’ve decided to showcase my best of 2019 with an awards ceremony!
And the award goes to…
Unfortunately no-one wins anything and nobody gets to wear a designer dress for the evening, however, in my head I’m wearing Valentino.
