How to Choose Your Wedding Venue

You’ve got your Pinterest board all ready and you know what you want your wedding photos to look like. But now it’s time to find a venue.

Why Film Photography is NOT Dead

I often have friends and family asking why I would bother with film, after all, it's a dead technology. But I just don't agree.

Wootton Hall, the Palm Springs Workshop

Nestled into the Lincolnshire landscape, Wootton Hall truly is a haven for an editorial wedding photographer.

Heather!!! All I can say is WOW!!! The whole gallery is just amazing. We had so much fun laughing and 'aw'ing through the slideshow last night and I honestly couldn't sleep just reminiscing on our day again!

 

You've done an incredible job and we can't thank you enough. We absolutely loved our time with you, and additionally we were both saying we don't remember even seeing you capturing all the candid moments! So stealth! We're so pleased you and Ashley also captured bits of the venue that were so beautiful and that we want to forever remember.

 

I've just realised I'm basically only typing in exclamation points, but hopefully reiterates our excitement and adoration for EVERYTHING!!! I hope our paths cross again and I look forward to watching you continue to flourish in all things you do. Thank you for your time, your skill, your passion and for giving us the BEST reminders of the most beautiful memories.

TESTIMONIAL

Cairns Farm Wedding Photography by Heather McKay Photography
CairnsFarmWedding-HeatherMcKayPhotography-10.jpg

Film photography is timeless, and it has the unique ability to capture a moment in all its honesty. Some of my favourite photographs are on film - the slightly blurred photograph of siblings playing in the garden, my parents wedding photographs complete with technically imperfect sun beams, immortalising the sunshine on a springtime afternoon. These imperfect moments are perfectly as we remember, which is what makes them so incredibly immersive and beautifully nostalgic.​

Digital format is infinite. It allows me to hand-select the most perfect image from a series of photographs and curate a beautiful image, but film is finite. Each photograph is unique. Each composition and the emotion behind it is careful, thoughtful and intimate, and each moment is preserved as it truly happened.​ Documenting your wedding digitally ensures every detail is captured, but documenting on film also allows me to tell the story of the most pure, raw and perfectly imperfect moments, creating the most immersive, timeless and nostalgic collection of photographs.
