Wedding of Gemma and Simon

It's been almost a week since I shot Gemma and Simon's wedding at Oulton Hall in Leeds, but as I sit here going through their pictures I'm so pleased I was asked to shoot such a lovely couple's special day.

They are so obviously in love, as every couple on their wedding day should be.  But it was a real privilege to be there to capture the often missed looks and smiles that they gave each other, which showed a real connection.  It was the kind of wedding that reminded me why I love photographing weddings and makes me hungry for more!

Gemma and Simon were so relaxed and easy going and were a photographs dream to work with! They truly understood the importance of the photography and were willing to take time with me and spend time just 'playing' so that we could get some interesting shots (Having Simon play the Grand Piano in the great hall was a personal highlight for me!... All I can is 'Wow!')

I honestly love shooting weddings as they are all so individual and I learn something new and take something special away with me from every wedding.  I hope that every photographer gets this feeling, but if they don't then I guess they should stop! And I guess this point takes me to a question that every couple, looking to book a wedding photographer should ask; "What makes you want to shoot weddings?"

Anyway, I digress... The point of this post was just to say, now that I'm half way through the editing process for Gemma and Simon I'm excited to see the rest of the images and I already know that they are going to LOVE these images!

Thanks once again guys for allowing me to shoot your special day!  More of these images will be available at www.garyhibberd.co.uk in the coming days.
