MY SIGNATURE

Guest Wishes

My signature Guest Wishes is a fantastic alternative Guest Book idea. It celebrates your relationship with family and friends in a different way from the traditional guest book that people tend to miss or forget to pass around!

You’ve had brilliant, priceless times with your friends and family, and I’ll capture them in the moment for a truly unique message to you. That hand written message goes together with their photo and is put together in a polaroid style.

I want your photography to be authentic and personal to you, not generic. Guest Wishes is exactly that; a set of authentic, personal messages that tells of your relationship with your nearest and dearest.

WHY GUEST WISHES?

Because it’s just a little bit more fun.

When I used to go to weddings you’d never know what to say in a Guest Book. Everyone would write the same as the person before. There had to be better!

We have much richer relationships with the individuals we know and love, especially those you have at your wedding, so I wanted to make this more personal. I love creativity, too, and love all things photography including old prints and polaroids and so… Guest Wishes was born!

You may have a Photo Booth or the like but this way I get to delve a little deeper into what makes you, your friends and family tick. Everyone loves to say congrats but there’s a little more to say when it comes to those close to you.

SOUNDS PERFECT, HOW DOES IT WORK?

I’ll take care of everything.

At the wedding breakfast I visit the tables and ask your guests to write their message to you with a little help and encouragement, of course! We then get the perfect picture to go with that message; the visual testimony to that thing between you and them.

When you get your photos you get your Guest Wishes, we can even create a themed design for them and have them arranged on a poster or canvas. If you’re looking for an alternative guest book idea, this is a fantastic way to make it truly personal to you.

What will you friends and family say about you!?
