I had a lot of Christmas weddings last year and Gemma and Oliver’s was one of those … right in the middle of all that snow !  I got a panicky little voicemail from Oliver when I was on route to the wedding, asking if I was going to make it.  The roads were fine, but man, the drive down into the venue was pure compacted snow, making for an interesting last leg of the journey !!  Thankfully the vast majority of their guests made it to the wedding, making for a fun day, filled with laughter, laboutins, carol singers, christmas trees galore, sweet treats, snow, ugg boots and more snow LOL

I’ve started off with a couple of snowy pics, including the fun one with the “frozen lake” in the background … never mind swimming in it, you could “walk” on it haha … Gemma and Oliver decided to see each other before the ceremony, for a little bit of quiet, private time before it all went mad … I love this idea, very different.

Gemma is probably one of the bravest brides I have ever had the pleasure to work with.  I asked her to put on her ugg boots so we could get some outdoors shots, no problem !  We were out and about in that snow and sub-zero (minus 15) conditions for an hour or so … thanks Gemma !

And so, a few favourites …
