ANDREW AND MELINA | IN LOVE

I remember what it’s like to count down sleeps. In fact I still do it. Incessantly. If there’s anything I’m good at it’s anticipation – I’ll find anything to count down to.  I’m guessing I was incredibly annoying whilst pregnant, declaring each and every day how many I had left until the big B-Day.  And I know I drove my workmates mad once we’d settled on a date for our wedding.  They stood no chance of ever forgetting when it was. Right now I’m counting down how many sleeps until Melina and Andrew get married. It’s 10, in case you’re wondering. Tomorrow’s the big day that it drops down to the single-digit countdown, and I’m so excited for them.
I guess I’m more excited for Melina, because I’ve known her longer.  And because, as a woman, I know that every single one of us dreams of this day from the moment we can say ‘wedding’, whether we like to admit it or not.  It’s a big deal.  And when it’s *this* close to transitioning from a dream to reality it almost becomes unreal.  Even now I can feel my heart beating double-time, somewhere just beneath my throat, as I think back and remember just how it felt.  The excitement, the nerves, the pressure of getting everything done on time, the anxiousness, and the promise of a lifetime shared with the boy that stole your heart.  Melina will probably be feeling these things too, though you’d never know, coz she’s cool as a cucumber.  She has the unwavering knowledge that Andrew is the man for her, that this day is meant to be, and that it will be blessed. And I’m sure it will be also, along with their new lives together as man and wife.  I can’t speak for how Andrew feels, as men are unfathomable creatures, but I believe he’s probably counting down the sleeps too.  I mean, he’s marrying Melina. The girl that stole his heart.

I can’t wait to shoot their wedding – their blessed and very special day.  And if I know Melina at all it’s going to be a tonne of fun, just like we had at their recent engagement session.
And if they look this gorgeous on just an ordinary day, how out of this world beautiful are they going to look in 10 days time.

And because they’re such a crazy good looking couple, I’m now going to bombard you with some of the photographs from their engagement session. I took lots. And then some more. My camera just adores them, and is very much looking forward to capturing the sweet and wonderful moments of their wedding.

Ten short days.  An eternity together. 

See you on the big day, guys. Enjoy the aniticipation. I know I will.
