These awards are based on reviews left by married couples in the past year. Different Angle Photography received a total of 27 reviews on their online storefront on Hitched.co.uk and a rating of 5.0 out of 5 determined by the couples who planned their weddings with them.

On winning the award for the second time, Darren, from Stainton with Adgarley, said: “When we won it the first year, it came as a massive surprise.

“To be honest, this year, 2024, we had a little bit of a hint that we might pick it up again. We didn’t know how strict they were with regard to people who won the previous year and whether they could still win again the second year. Obviously, we got established with all those lovely reviews coming in and the portfolio was growing so I had a hint we were in for a good chance to pick it up again.

“Then they announced it at the end of January and

Commission denies permit for Elon wedding, photo venue

A special use permit request for a couple to operate an Elon home and greenhouse as a venue for weddings and photo shoots and host short-term rentals received a recommendation of denial from the Amherst County Planning Commission.

The commission’s vote Feb. 15 came after a public hearing where several residents raised objections with a use they said disrupted their quiet residential area on Phyllis Lea Drive in the Elon area. The applicant, Alexis Fisher and her husband, had operated without a permit, according to Tyler Creasy, the county’s director of community development.

“This comes up a lot in our office. Individuals don’t know that they need to have special permission to do these types of events and I believe that is the case here,” Creasy told the commission.

Fisher said the couple turned the greenhouse into a successful business and immediately fell in love with the property several years ago.

Wedding photographer opens up about life after Canterbury helicopter crash

Wedding and portrait photographer Rachel Jordan has spoken of the immense challenges she’s had to overcome following a devastating helicopter crash in Canterbury in 2021 that changed her life.

Two-and-a-half years after the Robinson R44 lost power moments after take-off and plummeted 100 meters to the ground with Jordan, pilot Lynda Harrap, and newlywed couple Fay El Hanafy and Mahdi Zougub on board, Jordan still has problems with her feet, weakness in her hips, and will probably always have back pain.

Despite the severity of her injuries sustained on the Terrace Downs Resort golf course in Mid Canterbury in June 2021, the 44-year-old Kerikeri mum battles every day to overcome them.

Of them all – the fractured ribs and sternum, the lacerated lung, the broken right wrist and fractured bones in her feet and ankles – the worst was the damage to her back and spinal cord.

The back injury caused varying degrees of paralysis in her legs which was frightening, as no one could tell her when, or if, she would walk again.

Jordan, who lives in Northland, admitted she’s not the same person anymore.

“Going through this healing journey has definitely changed me; I’m not the same person

Groom Sues Lensman: Groom sues lensman for posting pics online sans consent | Bengaluru News

BENGALURU: A Bengaluru suede bridegroom wedding photographer who posted pics and videos from the big day on social media platforms without consent. A city consumer court that heard his case recently ruled that the lensman must pay the aggrieved person a compensation of Rs 25,000 for violating the terms of the agreement the parties had arrived at and for posting some select shots and videos on social media.
December 2019 was a special month for Roshan Christy Joseph, 29, from Horamavu, Agara, as he was preparing for his wedding day. To capture photos and videos of this special event, Joseph approached Kerala’s Kottayam-based Xavier Joseph Pawvathil, who runs Framechasers and Photolooms, which specializes in weddings.
