Meet Scott, the grandson of wedding photography partnership S&S Photographers. Always looking to expand his knowledge in his field he holds an advanced diploma in photography. His goal is to exceed every couple's expectations. Steve is the grandfather of the team. Cutting his teeth in the profession at an early age, he keeps abreast of the latest technology to ensure the best quality of service. S&S Photographers' wedding packages are tailored to suit your budget and you can expect the team to attend both ceremony and reception, making sure your big day is narrated from start to finish.

We caught up with Steve to find out how the duo have been keeping themselves busy during lockdown. He says, "Firstly, we think it's appropriate to thank all front line people who have kept us somewhat sane. We at S&S, like many others, have had lots of problems caused by the various lockdowns and tier systems and we've missed capturing our couples weddings.

"Covid hit the wedding industry hard, along with couples who have booked for our services for what would have been one of the most fantastic days of their lives. Couples have had to rearrange dates on more than one occasion. Some have cancelled or postponed. We've been able to accommodate them all.

"We haven't totally stopped though. Of course, we've had to work within the restrictions that have been put in place. We have had enquiries for and bookings for 2021 and 2022. This is not just in the hope of gaining new customers, but to help couples who actually had to cancel and wish to avail themselves of our services."

Why more couples are letting the coast shape their wedding day

For couples planning a wedding, the setting is increasingly becoming more than a backdrop. Research from WeddingDates found that 78% of UK couples consider location an important factor when choosing a venue, with more than a third specifically influenced by the view. Rockwater, the UK coastal hospitality brand with beachfront venues in Hove and Branksome, says this is helping reshape how couples approach weddings by the water. Rather than simply choosing a coastal venue and then planning the celebration independently of it, couples are increasingly allowing the landscape, changing light and relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces to influence the day itself. Rockwater has identified four of the key considerations shaping modern coastal weddings.

Something old, something gone: The British wedding traditions on borrowed time

New Aspall research reveals the wedding traditions that are being dropped - from the bouquet toss and choreographed first dances, to the father-of-the-bride speech - and the modern alternatives taking their place. Speeches given only by men (36%), a choreographed first dance (34%) and the formal receiving line (30%) are among the wedding traditions that couples are keenest to ditch, a new study reveals. Wearing a veil, the 15-minute father-of-the-bride speech with no speech from the bride, and the traditional tiered fruit cake are also increasingly falling out of favour as Brits tie the knot, researchers found.
