September google review for Big Day Weddings photographers

Another Big Day Weddings 5 star review for David and Joanna – thank you!!!

By Barnet Wedding Photographers, Wedding VenuesOne Comment

We have just received another wonderful 5 star review on Google from Mark and Yui. These guys were married at the fabulous Hanbury Manor in Hertfordshire and it was a day that will live long in the memory. Thank you so much, it’s really appreciated.

Here’s the actual text:

“Big Day Weddings was hands down one of the best choices we made when it came to suppliers for our wedding. We’d done a lot of research and searched high and low – both online and offline – for photographers whose work we liked and that we knew we would feel comfortable working with. It was quite by accident that we discovered David and Joanna, and oh boy did they fit the bill! We actually came across them via a highly complimentary online review from a couple whose wedding they’d shot, and who had also used the videographers that we ended up using. We decided to contact Big Day Weddings as we thought it would be a nice idea to have a team of photographers and videographers who’d worked together before. They’d also gotten great feedback from previous clients, their prices were reasonable and they offered a range of affordable packages that fit what we were looking for. Our decision was cemented the moment we got on the phone and spoke to David. He’s genuinely friendly and approachable and put us at ease immediately. He listened to our preferences, offered suggestions, and, as the big day approached, was happy to run through the programme to make sure everything would go smoothly. On our wedding day, both David and Joanna were absolutely wonderful, dealing with our guests, the venue staff, bridal party nerves, and everything in between, like complete pros. As for the wedding photos, they turned out BRILLIANTLY, and turnaround time was pretty quick. We were so impressed with the many beautiful images of us, our families, the guests, the venue, and all the key moments. In addition, David and Joanna had managed to capture many other little things that made up the day such as decor features, wedding memorabilia, and other details that so many people miss. As photographers, they are are highly skilled, talented, and experienced, but what sets them apart has to be their personalities and people skills….they are so amiable, funny, and fantastic to work with! Nervous in front of the camera, or not sure what to do? Have a difficult guest or two who hates having their picture taken? Then you NEED someone like David to shoot your wedding! He really knows what to say and do at the right moment, and how to bring out the best in people so that you will get the best shots possible. The shots they captured will serve as wonderful reminders of one of the best days of our lives. Big Day Weddings is the BEST: David and Joanna are absolute gems….a fab team, and truly one of a kind. Really chuffed to have worked with them….they have our highest recommendation!”

Groom cries at East Finchley wedding

Here is our winning image from the Wedding Emotions Competition.

By Barnet Wedding Photographers, London venues and events, Wedding VenuesNo Comments

We don’t usually enter competitions and never really have. It’s not arrogance, it’s just not been a priority as we are so busy shooting and editing images, and that takes most of our available time. Though we realise it’s pretty good publicity when you win though!

However when the call came from Your Perfect Wedding Photographer for emotional wedding moments for their photo competition entries we thought why not?

Here’s our winner. It’s a single tear rolling down groom Christopher’s cheek as he senses his bride Veronika has started her walk down the aisle with her father. A lovely moment from this London wedding day.

Our other entry was a moment from a civil ceremony at Islington Town Hall in the intimate Mayor’s Parlour where both bride and groom were overcome with emotion and both reached for the hankies at the same time!

Google review from Alex and Adriana – thank you!

Big Day Weddings google review number 36

Thank you to Alex and Adriana for your lovely review on Google.

Here it is:

“Adriana and I hired David and Joanna for our recent wedding in April. From the moment we had our first meeting with them back in January to discuss what we wanted and what we could expect, they were very welcoming, attentive and reassuring. We had high expectations based on the previous work displayed on their website along with the reviews we had read of them. On our big day they did not let us down at all, they were really enthusiastic and took lots of amazing shots of us and our guests. It was a great day and we now have lots of lovely photographs to remind us of every moment. We would highly recommend Big Day Weddings.”

Lovely weddings at Asia House and The Langham Hotel in central London

By Barnet Wedding Photographers, London venues and events, Wedding VenuesNo Comments

Asia House and The Langham Hotel are fantastic venues for wedding ceremonies and receptions, and we have photographed at both of them many times. They of course are very different propositions with one being an iconic and grand central London Hotel opposite the BBC, and the other a classic and opulent Georgian House a few streets away.

We were delighted to hear that Glori and Andrew had booked both, with Asia House for their intimate wedding ceremony with just close family, and then their reception at The Langham with a fantastic private dining room for the evening meal.

Bride and groom chose to get ready at The Langham first, and then walk together with us for some photography as they made their way to Asia House and their waiting guests.

As expected it was a lovely heartfelt ceremony and afterwards as has become something if a tradition it was not confetti but bubbles that were blown as the newly weds came out of the building on to New Cavendish Street.

At the Langham it was private dining by Roux in the fantastic Postillion Room. With it’s fantastic views of All Saints Church and Broadcasting House I imagined there must have been many wonderful lunches and dinners here with many a famous face in attendance over the years.

West Lodge Park, Christ Church Southgate and Trent Park Country Club wedding day

By Barnet Wedding Photographers, London Wedding Photographer, Wedding VenuesOne Comment

Some wedding days happen all in one place, and that’s great, no one gets lost! And some wedding days are all over place, literally!

Bridal wedding prep at West Lodge Park Hotel

For Adriana and Alex’s special day it was three venues but all about five minutes from each other, perfect and nice variety too. Yes it rained, this is England of course, and we had to go to Plan B, but that didn’t matter as rain never stops play on a wedding day.

From our first meeting I knew these guys had a sense of energy and fun and that really shone through on their wedding day despite the weather.

Coverage started at the lovely West Lodge Park Hotel, a venue we have photographed many a wedding day at, and I began with bridal preparations and seven bridesmaids and mum all in the same room, having a great time of course.

Meanwhile Alex was being photographed arriving at Christ Church in Southgate and doing his pre ceremony meet and greet.

That’s one of the beauties of two photographers, very little gets missed and later on bride and groom get to see what the other was up to on one of the greatest days of their lives as a couple.

Confetti throw at Christ Church Southgate wedding

By the time the wedding ceremony was underway the heavens opened and rain began to pour. Conveniently it stopped for confetti throwing which I was pleased about for the couple, but started straight after so we did some family and couple shots back inside the church.

My attitude to weather conditions is very simple. You get what you were always meant to get on your wedding day, there’s nothing you can do so…enjoy it. And we did. Alanis Morissette famously sang that it was ironic if it rains on your wedding day, it’s not, it just IS.

Anyway, we worked in the immediate area around the church with our trusty umbrellas out, and after a while it was time to make our way for the couple’s grand entrance to their wedding breakfast at Trent Park Country Club.

We’ve photographed there before and were very happy to see a recent major upgrade and transformation to the club.

After a fabulous meal and some lovely and emotional speeches it was time for some serious boogying the night away for the wedding party.
