    A New Year, New Beginnings – and Wedding Photography That Feels Right for You Both

    The end of one year and the beginning of another is always a transitional time. It’s a moment to pause, to reflect, and to quietly step forward into something new.

    For some couples, that “something new” is an engagement — perhaps over Christmas, perhaps at New Year — and if that’s you, big congratulations from us both. This is such a special time, full of plans, ideas, and hopes and dreams for the future.

    As we move into the New Year, Martin and I wanted to share something important.

    Every Wedding Ceremony Matters

    Over the years, we’ve come to truly believe very strongly that all Wedding Ceremonies are important — whether they are large celebrations or simple, intimate occasions.

    We know that many couples today are choosing:

    • Register Office Ceremonies
    • smaller, meaningful Weddings
    • Celebrant led Wedding Ceremonies
    • celebrations that feel right for them

    And we also know that some couples worry that they can’t afford Wedding Photography — or that having two photographers might feel totally out of reach.

    We are Shropshire Wedding Photographers

    Also covering Powys and surrounding counties. We know most of the Register Offices and also we love covering smaller Ceremonies. These might be in a private venue and Celebrant led – so perhaps not legal that day. Some of our couples marry at a Register Office and then have a Celebrant led Ceremony at a beautiful venue which might not be licensed for legal Ceremonies.  We have photographed both the Register Office Ceremony and the Celebrant led Ceremony for some couples – making sure all is captured forever.

    Shropshire or Powys Register Office Wedding Photography

    We are very happy to photograph Register Office Ceremonies, and we have structured our pricing to make this accessible and stress-free.

    Our Wedding Photography Packages for Register Office Weddings start at £295.

    This includes:

    • Martin and I arriving 15–20 minutes before the ceremony at your Shropshire or Powys Register Office
    • Photography of your arrival and your Ceremony
    • Around 20 minutes of photographs after the Ceremony, where there are suitable grounds or nearby locations
    • We always have a briefing meeting pre-Wedding – so we would meet up before the Big Day

    If you are continuing on to a reception or celebration afterwards, we are very happy to quote for additional coverage – so your day is fully documented.

    Very Flexible Payment Options

    We understand that planning a wedding often means juggling many costs at once. To help with this, we offer payment by instalments, tailored to your Wedding Date – so it could be quite a number of months.

    We have found that this allows our couples to spread the cost over several months, making professional Wedding Photography more manageable and affordable.

    A Supportive Duo, With Years of Experience

    We are a husband-and-wife photography team, always working together.

    With many years of experience photographing weddings, we bring:

    • calm reassurance
    • understanding and kindness
    • quiet support throughout your day when we are with you both and your guests. The smallest Wedding Ceremony we covered was in fact at Lake Windermere several years ago and it was just our couple and us and we were their Witnesses… we had photographed the Bride’s Sister’s Wedding at Rowton Castle in Shropshire and we were asked if we would go to Lake Windermere on a Thursday – and we said – of course! Martin and I have often been Witnesses at Weddings.  Another memorable day was at Lake Vyrnwy Hotel in Powys when the Bride just had her Sister there and I was a Witness for them – such an honour!

    Our aim is always the same: to create timeless photographs that protect your memories and allow you to relive them for years to come.

    We have always primarily been Shropshire Wedding Photographers – although we have been to York, Taunton and Essex even France for our Weddings over the years… we will go wherever we are wanted really and if logistically possible!

    Looking Ahead for Shropshire and Powys Weddings

    As this New Year begins, we wish all couples — whether newly engaged or already planning — a joyful, peaceful time as you shape your Wedding Day in a way that feels truly your own love story.

    If you’d like to talk to us about your Shropshire or Powys Wedding Day – whether a big celebration – we really love big Church Weddings – or a smaller celebration, your plans, or simply ask a few questions, we would love to hear from you. There is a WhatsApp button on our website and that gets straight through to me [Julia – half of Spinning Your Dreams with husband Martin] – warmest New Year wishes! 

    Oh and if your Wedding Planning List includes ‘favours’ – look no further than Lefevre Chocolates – mouth-watering artisan chocolates made in Shrewsbury by – well my Daughter and her Husband… no better chocolates [I’m not biased!]
