A bride in her full dress and veil, holding a baby dressed just as beautifully for the occasion, in the bridal suite at Fairfield House Hotel.
Photographs like this are why I love family weddings. Nobody plans them into a timeline. They just happen — someone hands the bride the baby while she's waiting, and suddenly you've got one of the warmest images of the entire day.
Weddings with wee ones in them need a slightly different approach from the photographer. You can't schedule a baby, so you stay ready and you shoot when the moment comes rather than trying to recreate it later. Ten seconds of patience beats twenty minutes of arranging.
Fairfield House has the space in its bridal preparation rooms for family to come and go during the morning, which is exactly how you get frames like this one.
