Emma and Toby at the Electric

Back last year I got asked to photograph the wedding of my friends, Emma and Toby, on July 21st this year. They are absolutely lovely people, and I knew straight away I wanted to do it. I want to photograph people like Emma and Toby; they have lots of personality and always look good, with  a great sense of style and you know there will be great attention to detail at their wedding, plus it’s on my birthday so I don’t have to arrange anything!

One of the things we wanted to do was a pre wedding/ engagement shoot, and I’ve only ever done one before so I was really excited (and nervous) about it. We’d had a couple of ideas, then recently I got an email from Emma saying they’d booked the Electric Cinema in Birmingham. I hadn’t heard of the place before, but I’ve ALWAYS wanted to take photos in a cinema! The Electric is a lovely place, as you can see here–> http://www.theelectric.co.uk/

I arrived the day before so we could have a catch up, and Toby cooked us some Fajitas and we watched some tv and a Maximo Park dvd, then after a nice night and a good sleep we headed off to the Electric for an hour, before seeing the wedding venues, having some sushi and getting my train back home. The best 24 hours I’ve had in a long while.
