Hi Steemians! Today I would like to share a small selection of my favourite wedding photographs I took in 2017! I hope you enjoy! - Verity x
2017 was a crazy year for us, and our business! We started the year speaking at a conference over in Portland. We had spent months rehearsing but nothing could prepare us for the feeling of speaking to over 350 photographers from across the World on a huge stage! It was crazy and a moment we will never forget! 2017 then took us to Rome for an engagement session and a wedding in France the following month. Then to Romania to speak at another photography conference, after that a few weeks back at home in which Chris did a half iron man, not much rest for us there! Only one more week later and we were off to Singapore for 2 weeks for a 3 day wedding. It was hot, really really hot, and immense pressure with royalty and the deputy Prime minister of Singapore present too. It was definitely a wedding we will always remember, and Singapore really did steal our hearts! After we got home we realised destination weddings would now take a back seat for us, we love the UK and whilst we are forever grateful for the couples who have flown us around the World we feel so at home here and feel the UK has so much to offer. So 2017 also saw a change in our business, after 8 years we have shot over 300 weddings and want to slow down, we want more to time ourselves and maybe follow new passions. But what 2017 did teach us was how much we love what we do, meeting our couples and capturing moments for them that they can treasure forever really is the most rewarding thing we could think of. I am so glad I can share these moments here and I hope you enjoy looking through some of my favourites here! If you wanted to watch our highlights video you can head over to it here (which includes Chris's shots too!). Chris and I would love to build the wedding photography community here on Steemit so if you know anyone who is a wedding photographer please let us know! We are really enjoying doing the @weddingcontest each week and are excited about meeting new fellow photographers! - Verity x

my old college friend asked me to photograph his wedding, I'm scared as fuck to take this job.
I'm sure you'll be fine, you get used to the pressure after you've done a few! But you know how to take good photographs so just be confident with it, I'm sure they wouldn't has asked you if they didn't believe you could do it!
hi you, you can follow me not, thank you very much!
Verity! Each one of these is just incredible! You guys are so phenomenally good!
Thanks Adam ! That's so kind of you!
Gorgeous collection of work ~ particularly loving the shot in the long grass at sunset 🙌🏼 So beautiful!
Thank you so much Carrie, I loved that shot too, can't beat golden hour!
These shots are all wonderful and creative or simply captured the perfect moment! Good luck with your wish to slow down this year and maybe explore new passions. :)
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that :) . And thanks, I want to do more personal photography projects this year but I am sure we will always shoot weddings, we just love it so much, would be hard to just stop!
Great to see this compilation of how much you have travelled in a year, since I was just mentioning you in a post of mine because I was amazed to learn how photographing weddings can get you around the globe! I knew a photographer who quit doing weddings because he got bored of it! (I think the bulk and pressure of dead-line editing got to him). It takes a special entrepreneurship to do what you and Chris are doing, but also an original eye!
Oh thank you! Which post was this ? Will have to take a look :) Well I don't think we thought it would take us where it has either, and we are very grateful! You just really have to have a passion for it and not let the pressure or stress over-weigh that! Thank you for your support!
Wow, huge collection of great shots :)
Thank you so much @asgarth !
Nice that i found this page! I want to get marry soon and i really wish beautiful pics! i hope i can share the here :)
Thank you! And I wish you all the best for your wedding! :)
All are beautiful! My all-time fave is 10th from the last! The couple in the field simply takes my breath away! x
Awww thank you !! A few people have said that's their favourite too! I think corn fields and sunsets go well together! :)x
These are incredible. I am shooting a wedding in a few months and I am hoping I don't screw it up, lol. It seems like it is a nerve wracking event, but you have captured these weddings perfectly.
Thank you so much! Well we have done over 300 weddings now so I remember when we started I was the same, but you just have to trust in your instincts, and you will be fine, honestly! :)
