The Wedding Day Through Mum’s Eyes...
With Mother’s Day this weekend, it got me thinking about something I see at almost every wedding I photograph. Weddings are full of big moments. The confetti, the speeches, the dance floor when everyone’s had a few drinks and suddenly thinks they’re starring in their own music video.
But if you watch closely, there’s another version of the wedding day happening at the same time. A quieter one. The version your mum's eyes experience.

This is the part of wedding planning no one really warns you about. You get plenty of advice on budgets, timings, and colour schemes.
