Last week Phil Barber, Rob Booker & I joined our pals Hope & Social at the Crypt where they’re in the process of recording their second album. They’ve done various creative gigs and events at the Crypt before and for some reason had a feeling it was in a romantic hamlet on the edge of […]

![Happy New Year's Eve!
Forgive me for flogging on with the days of Christmas here, but as it's a time to celebrate the welcoming in a new year... on the 7th day of Christmas my true love gave to me…
EVENING PARTY SHENANIGANS!
Essentially, a wedding is one big party, right?! And from the cake cut onwards, we are ALL in party mode! And I'm not going home until I've captured it!
I love the frisson of setting up flashes for both an awesome cake cut shot followed immediately by first dance and the subsequent pile on. The blaze of trying to get a couple's big twirl, or routine, and then capture the father daughter dance, or the crazy characters rocking out, cutting loose and cutting shapes.
Across 2025 we had a pre-first dance Italian tradition of 'the 'auctioning of the tie' where a rawcuss team literally cut the grooms tie to ribbons and sold off the parts to cover the couples honeymoon (nice idea!). Then after first dance the musical groom proceeded to join the band to play a bluegrass rendition of Toy Story's 'You've Got A Friend In Me'! You can't write this stuff.
I just love doing what I do and don't work to a clock, or number of hours coverage, I go when I'm happy that the evening shenanigan story has been told! So I hope you love these fave evening party moments picked from across 2025's fab weddings! Do check out end of year blog if you'd like to see more!
ps. Remember to head over to my blog to see my lovingly curated 2025 end of year round-up tomorrow morning from 9am!
