Brightening Up Your Day

Throughout adjusting to this very unusual time, most of us have been stuck in at home and whilst the weeks count on into months, we’ve all started to become a little stir crazy! As you’ll know by now, we have been working from home with our children; balancing work, home schooling and childcare, which has been incredibly difficult, and we’ve seen some heartwarming instances across every profession. Without endless cups of coffee (and a few espresso martinis) we wouldn’t have been able to survive!

Staring out of the window at a very dull and grey morning drinking one of these endless cups of caffeine, we started to brainstorm the idea of a photoshoot celebrating everyone who’s been stuck in their homes with nowhere to go, and our lovely couples who have had to postpone their wedding day.

We know how fed up and frustrated they’ve felt and although safety will always be paramount to us here at Piccolo Weddings, it cannot be helped to feel saddened by having to rearrange your wedding day. Many couples had been excitedly counting down for quite some time!

With this in mind, we wanted to make the best of the situation and bringing a little brightness to your day.

This time has brought a real change to all of our lives, and we have found new ways of connecting with our loved ones through social distancing, with a lot of help from 21st century technology. Online family quiz nights, cocktail evenings and work meetings have all been held in the comfort of our four walls. Dressing up to stay in, the new dressing up to go out!

Over the last few weeks we have found that it is within the little corners of our everyday homes, that we have sought solace in, and appreciated our surroundings more than ever. Surrounded with outside space in a beautiful location, has made us very grateful during lockdown. Not everyone has this luxury and we really appreciate it with little ones.

Our job causes us to be constantly surrounded by beautiful places and people, and it’s what we love most about our work. Nothing fills us up more, than beautiful photos from your day landing in our inbox post ceremony.

We get to relive the day as much as you do when looking through the moments caught by the photographer; the surprise and anticipation of those golden moments and unexpected shots caught, makes everything worth it. We’ve genuinely missed seeing these.

Sticking to strict social distancing, we organised an amazing team of people to bring a colour explosion to your screens, from our very own garden; looking to the everyday backgrounds and outdoor spaces we have been surrounded by throughout quarantine, with a splash of bold colours.

Starting with our garage door, before moving onto pebbledash, it was important to us to choose areas that were lacklustre but real, rather than your usual bridal shoot setting. We are great believers in authenticity and feel it is what makes us slightly different within the wedding industry.

So pour yourself a cup of coffee and start scrolling to share the fun we had on the day, starting with an incredible video shot by the very talented Tom Frost Photography.
