TIPS FOR A QUIRKY BIG DAY

Planning your quirky Suffolk wedding? Think outside the box with your themes and decor. Consider integrating local Suffolk folklore or coastal elements for a truly personalised touch. As for your wedding day snaps, why not ditch traditional poses for fun, candid moments captured amidst the laughter and love of your day? Think spontaneous dances, whimsical props, and natural backdrops that showcase your individual styles.

MAKE YOUR PHOTOS POP

As a photographer who thrives on capturing candid, natural moments, I always encourage couples to relax and be themselves. To add that quirky twist to your wedding photos, why not incorporate props that mean something special to you both? Or choose a backdrop that tells a story, like the strikingly scenic Suffolk coastline or an unexpected nook of Upthorpe Wood.
