As a wedding photographer, it's a blast to capture the unique love stories of couples. The wedding of Jodie and Dean Askin was one for the books, filled with laughter, heartfelt moments, and a deep sense of family. Here’s a lively look into their fabulous day.


The day kicked off with Jodie's preparations at The Mount Pleasant Hotel, and boy, was it a barrel of laughs! The room buzzed with excitement as Jodie, surrounded by her nearest and dearest, got ready for her big day. The hotel provided a gorgeous backdrop, making every shot picture-perfect. There were plenty of snacks to keep everyone energized, and the air was filled with giggles and chatter. But amidst the fun, there were also touching moments, especially when Jodie shared some heartfelt exchanges with her loved ones, setting the stage for an emotional day ahead.

One of the most unforgettable moments of the day was when Jodie’s dad saw her for the first time in her stunning wedding dress. His reaction was priceless—an overwhelming mix of joy and pride that brought tears to everyone's eyes. It was such a sweet and touching moment, truly encapsulating the deep bond between father and daughter. Even those who rarely shed a tear found themselves misty-eyed!

Jodie and Dean tied the knot at the beautiful St Lawrence Church in Hatfield. This historic venue was the perfect setting for their love story. The ceremony was nothing short of magical, with their children watching on, emotions running high. As Jodie walked down the aisle, every eye was on her, and not a single tissue went unused. The love and commitment between Jodie and Dean were on full display, making the ceremony incredibly moving.

After the ceremony and the formal photos, it was time for Jodie and Dean to head to their reception. As they departed, hand in hand and beaming with happiness, there was a palpable sense of new beginnings. The joy and love that filled the day were sure to carry them forward into their married life. Capturing their final moments at the church was a perfect end to my part in their special day.
