Many years ago I started work for the Ramada Encore in Chatham. I’ve come from a Hotel background, and ended up working there with some truly awesome people. One of those people was a young lady called Talia. Talia and I quickly became good friends, and it was about this time that I started to get into photography. Talia, having worked for Venture with the awesome Martin Hobby, was really the one who encouraged me to do it and to try and be creative and not suck. I feel honored that many years later she asked me to be the photographer for hers and Seb’s wedding at their parents beautiful home in Rainham, Kent.
You have never met a more likeable, happy, genuinely nice couple than Seb and Talia. Their whole day was jam packed with emotion, hand made details, love, an actual Tea Room, a marquee, bunting…and as you can see a very super serious bride. I also learned that if you say Queso instead of Cheese to her Spanish family, that they laugh…whether that’s out of pity for my horrid Spanish accent or whether they found it funny, Ill take it as a win anyway.
I could literally blog every single image from their wedding. Instead here’s some of the highlights of the big day.
