Snow chains save the day – as you are well aware the month of December 2010 was the coldest in 100 years. This led me to be concerned about reaching 2 weddings which I knew were located in areas with small country roads. So I took the step of ordering snow chains for my car to give me the best chance of arriving at the wedding. Well, it snowed heavily the night before my wedding at Bury Court Barn near Farnham in Surrey. The journey usually takes me 1hr 45mins. This time it took me 4 hours 20 mins! I had to use the snowchains to get out of Brighton and onto the motorway and then again for half the journey through Surrey. I then had to use them again for the last mile and half up the hill to the venue. It is slow and a bit fiddly to fit and remove them but they kept me moving and many motorists who were barely in control of their vehicles gave me an envious glance as I trundled by! Simon + Pip were really pleased to see me arrive even though I had kept them updated on my progress during the mornings’ adventure.  I was impressed at how well they worked biting into ice as smoothly polished as an ice rink and I’m really pleased I had them to keep me going on the journey.

Perhaps what I’m trying to say here is that a good wedding photographer will go the extra mile to get to your wedding and deliver great photos whatever the weather. I hope that is considered before you book your wedding photographer.
