I love confetti. A confetti shot is a fantastic way to get a fun photo with all the guests involved. I mean, who doesn’t love throwing things at their loved ones!? Couples often ask me for advice about confetti leading up to the wedding, which type is best, what size or colour to go for…

I loved being part of Lizzie and Franks intimate wedding at Pendrell Hall. They only had around 35 guests all day but every guest was really important and played a part in making the day perfect.
