I was sat in the car outside Sainsbury’s … like you do…

I had just rung off on a call to my mum while she answered the door

” I will ring you straight back love ” she said

Then my phone rang…

I had a car full of noisy kids… bags of shopping around my feet…

I was stressed out to shit

and without even looking I answered my phone

What happened next was a 45 minute phone call that instead of cringing that I had spoken to a bride with a car full of horrific noise and defrosting shopping I was literally chair bouncing…

When Jody finished our call I already knew in my heart that I was shooting her wedding and I knew that she did too

It’s not very often in life that you connect with someone… really connect… but connect we did …

I rocked down to Llanerch Vineyard near Cardiff to shoot her wedding

It was like coming home

I learned lots of things about Cardiff

* you can’t have a wee on the A483

* that it is possible to raise two beautiful kids who actually like each other

* welsh cakes are little slabs of joy that came down from heaven above

* I made a friend for life

I FRIKKIN LOVE. THIS. GIRL. <3

Jody and Paul… and your two amazing kids ( like seriously …how did you raise them to be so lovely ? )

I still thank you from the bottom of my heart for accepting me like I was one of your own family…

It really was a perfect day wasn’t it …

Shall we do it again ?
