Paula & Simon - A Family-Focused Hometown Wedding Celebration - Manchester Wedding Photographer

What I’m feeling, I think, is joy. And it’s been some time since I felt that blinkered rush of happiness. This might be one of those rare events that lasts, one that’ll be remembered and recalled as months and years wind and ravel. One of those sweet, significant moments that leaves a footprint in your mind. A photograph couldn’t ever tell its story. It’s something you have to live to understand.
— Craig Silvey
