Sometimes you get lucky! Andy and Wendy left this remarkable story on our Facebook page. We live in the UK. Last December our house was flooded by a tidal surge and EVERYTHING on the ground floor was ruined.  We had so little notice that all we had time to save was one of our cars, our dog and a handful of personal papers. We were devastated when we realised our wedding album, created by Queensberry in 2002, was among the items lost. It was our pride and joy, and we despaired of ever replacing it. The original photographer had finished doing wedding photography, we didn't have his To View More >>

I took the opportunity last Sunday to change how I did things. It was partly out of necessity, and partly curiosity.

For Jo and Simon of Shoot Lifestyle Photography, several Annabel Williams' photographic training books provided the eye opener they needed to see the wedding industry wasn't quite as 'naff' as they thought... Seven years on, they've just been awarded the Annabel Williams CPT Award, for the Queensberry sponsored Wedding Album Category. Jo says, "This was a real life wedding album we'd designed for clients Andy and Lisa." Their wedding took place in a quirky little tavern which Jo says exposed some beautiful natural light. The light doesn't last long on a UK winters day though, so they had to To View More >>

Poppy & Will's wedding took place over 3 days at the family's home in the south of France. They were photographed by Jo de Banzie and James Yeats-Brown. Here's how Jo describes the wedding day and how they ended up doing something a little different! "The weather was unbearably hot, and the idea of the swim occurred to us during the evening. Poppy is one feisty girl, a qualified doctor and champion canoe polo player. She'd already climbed a tree for us, so we were pretty sure she'd be up for it!  However, she was dressed in couture, and as the designer was present as a guest, we thought To View More >>
