πŸ™‹β€β™€οΈ Raise your hand if you've ever felt πŸ™‹β€β™€οΈ Raise your hand if you've ever felt overwhelmed while planning your wedding! Let's face it, wedding planning can be a whirlwind of excitement, but it can also leave you feeling stressed and burnt out. Here's a little secret: it's absolutely okay (and necessary) to take breaks during this journey! Why hitting the pause button is a game-changer for your wedding planning: β€’ It helps you maintain perspective and remember what truly matters β€’ You'll return to tasks with renewed energy and fresh ideas β€’ Taking breaks reduces stress and prevents decision fatigue β€’ It allows you to enjoy the engagement period without constant pressure β€’ You'll have time to nurture other important relationships and self-care Remember, your wedding is a celebration of love, not a test of endurance. So go ahead, give yourself permission to take that break. Binge-watch your favourite show, have a spa day, or simply do nothing at all. Your wedding plans will still be there when you're ready to dive back in, and you'll tackle them with a clearer mind and a happier heart. What's your favourite way to unwind during wedding planning? Share in the comments below and let's swap some self-care tips! πŸ’– #wedphotoinspiration #wedphoto #somersetproposal #weddingproposal #iamengaged #southwestweddingphotographer #weddingphotographyinspiration #weddingphotographyideas #somersetwedding #victoriaweltonphotography #weddingplanningtips

This is one of the places you might find me on a w This is one of the places you might find me on a wedding day as I strive to get the very best images for your gallery! πŸ“Έ I'm Victoria, your wedding day storyteller. I love to capture your day as it unfolds and freeze-frame each moment in the form of a series of photographs. Weddings are one of my favourite things. I try to ensure I fade into the background so I photograph all the natural moments but come forward when I need to guide and help you and your guests into the best position for your couple and group shots. In fact, one of my favourite reviews stated that I was 'never there but everywhere' When I'm not photographing weddings, you can find me gardening, reading a good book, recording my radio show, or spending time with my family. Capturing two people and their love is my passion and I consider myself lucky to have such a perfect job. ❀️ So, let me make your wedding not just an event, but a masterpiece of memories to cherish forever. πŸ“Έcredit: @aspect_wedding_photography #bridetobe #bridetobe2026 #bridetobe2025 #wedphotoinspiration #wedphoto #somersetproposal #weddingproposal #iamengaged #bride #southwestweddingphotographer #weddingphotographyinspiration #weddingphotographyideas #somersetwedding #victoriaweltonphotography
A wedding - what is it, really? πŸ’πŸ‘°πŸ€΅β€β™‚ A wedding - what is it, really? πŸ’πŸ‘°πŸ€΅β€β™‚οΈ Sure, it's a beautiful ceremony, an exchange of vows, and a celebration with loved ones. But isn't it also so much more? πŸŽ‰πŸ’– A wedding is the start of a grand adventure, the first page in a new chapter of your love story. It's a promise not only to love each other but also to grow together, to face whatever life throws your way hand in hand. πŸ’«πŸ“– It's laughter, happy tears, and moments that take your breath away. It's looking into each other's eyes and seeing a future filled with love, joy, and endless possibilities. It's about two hearts becoming one, bound by a love that is as deep as the ocean and as vast as the sky. So while the flowers, the dress, and the cake are all important, remember what a wedding truly symbolises - the beautiful journey of love and companionship that you're about to embark on. Do you have a unique definition of what a wedding means to you?

JANE AND ANDY It is always an absolute privilege JANE AND ANDY It is always an absolute privilege to be entrusted with anyone's wedding photography. I try to capture every moment, every detail. And yesterday it was no exception for Mr and Mrs Webb. A day which started out extremely rainy, turned to sunshine as the bride was about to walk down the aisle. Their celebrations were so full of extra special moments with love and laughter at the stunning St Audries Park Wedding Venue. We said at one stage during the day that family has no sides - just one big circle - and what a circle it is. Given away by her son, the bride looked stunning and a very emotional Groom was quite rightly awe-struck. Jane, Andy, I have absolutely no doubt that you will always remember the 21st (day and) night of September!
