Not many people can look this cool in 32 degrees. Amy & Chris' had their ceremony at Chelsea town hall before a hot but awesome for photos walk to Battersea. After a cool down at the house it was time to head to @trinityrestaurant for mouth watering nibbles and eye watering speeches. Day Two to follow! @chelseaoldtownhall

Kenny & Rebecca's beautiful, emotional, animal filled wedding at Silchester farm. I tend to lean towards editorial photos on Instagram but love documentary shots, would you prefer to see more editorial or documentary photos in my posts?

Miles pre and post ceremony. A little more spotlight on emotion as it was extremely special capturing Miles, Jasmine and their families wearing their hearts on their sleeves. On insta would you rather see emotional moments from wedding days, the fun aspects or portraits of the couple?

When couples are comfortable enough to just enjoy playing together it's *chefs kiss*. Thanks to Laura & Mark and bring on the big day! #cotswoldsweddingphotographer #cotswoldswedding #highereggbeerwedding #cotswoldweddingphotographer

It's all too easy to focus on pretty pictures when emotions are the true heart of a wedding day. Looking back in years to come the best photos will make you the feel that unique set of emotions all over again. Here are a few from Katy & Theo's happy-tears-filled wedding, as you'll see one speech even broke through the cold heart of @georgina.rose.events Venue: @euridge_ Planner: @g.r.e.weddings /@georgina.rose.events Florist: @jilljeffriesflowers Videographer: @johntaylorfilms DJ: @platinum_music_events Catering: @epiccaterersuk Hair & make up: @cotswoldshairandmakeup
