Lulu and Scott MacDonaldson, hubby and wiffle, dream team, double trouble
Picking a wedding photographer is like picking a tattoo artist, it is there forever and if you get it wrong, yes you can have it redone but its painful, its expensive and it will never be quite the same.
Do you think our souls are entwined?' said lulu ' I think they fist bump on the regular' said Scott.
These two goof balls were born and raised in the rolling hills of the Cotswolds. They love to explore the surrounding natural beauty spots with dogs in toe, from sleepy rural villages, forest trails and riverside walks with 'Cherry Moo' ice cream. They first crossed paths in 2010 when Lulu joined Scotts band as a vocalist, it was sorta like that movie 'Once' if you squint hard enough. The romance was intense the weirdness was weirder but the soundtrack was awesome. In 2011 Scott couldn't live apart from Lulu's beloved pup Mittens any longer and decided it was time for Lulu and Mittens to officially move in. Slowly Scott's shelves surrendered to Lulus stuffed animals and Yankee candles. But he couldn't deny the food certainly got a lot better being that Scott no longer lived of a diet consisting solely of crisps. Lulu loves to bake all things Sourdough and Scott likes to torture himself regularly with DIY projects. Together they like to play music and say to each other 'is it really that late?' after 9 hours of playing Mario Kart into the early hours.
Bored easily they decided to pack up and tour as a band across the world in 2012 before swapping their travel bug for a house in France in 2018. They are still in the process of restoring an old cottage in Normandy France and love all things French ... not just the bread! (Although the food is a large part of the reason they are there). Today they spend their time predominantly in a small bungalow in Gloucester binging Netflix with 3 Dogs, far too many house plants and for a few months, a magpie living in their hallway. Some may describe them as strange, quirky and disgustingly optimistic but it's undeniable that they are above all things a good laugh and pretty shit hot at taking pictures.
They love to travel far and wide to eat everything the world has to offer exploring new cities with cameras in hand. They have a love affair with Switzerland, not just because they put Ovaltine in everything but because every angle is a postcard, its a photographers dream and therefore, it's theirs.
'It's all downhill from here' said Lulu
'its easier to go downhill than uphill, if you fall over you still get there' Scott
Passionate Fujifilm shooters, they love to shoot in film simulations / recipes for really unique aesthetics. The 'film' like look is what gives them their distinctive signature style. They love to experiment and be challenged in their work to be the best in their field. They started their Street photography business 'On the walk photography' in 2021 after Scott was made redundant from his Job as an Engineer due to covid. 2021 was also the year that they decided to get hitched after all they had been together for 10 years so panic planning their wedding in 6 weeks seemed like a good idea at the time. The end of September delivered the last day of summer in the grounds of the beautiful Matara center in Tetbury. with just 21 guests they planted a tree and made everyone sing happy birthday to their dog Bernadette. Lulu had a cathedral length dress adorned with cherry blossoms and Scott wore a Blue velvet suit with a pin that read 'Don't be a dick' on it. Here is the moment where they became completely obsessed with all things wedding. Despite baking a wedding cake at 3am and calling the father in law to get confetti on the wedding morning it was an absolute dream, now they have turned their attention to making sure every couple they meet has the perfect wedding day too. (Their first piece of advise, don't plan your wedding in 6 weeks.)
'Do you think the dogs like us singing them little songs' said Lulu 'they don't have a choice' said Scott

Mittens - Correspondence queen
Heading up the complaints department its Mittens (moop, schmoop in the hoop, mitsy, moogle management, baby shmoo, petit grandmere) she hasn't seen a complaint partly because we haven't had any but mostly because she's legit blind. Even if you manage to call her she is mostly deaf but she does have the ability to make just about anyone fall desperately in love her which makes her the best customer relations manager we have ever had. I mean look at that face? Despite the fact everyone thinks she's a puppy she is in fact 14 years old! She loves to live in your arms and spend the day sunbathing.
Bernadette - Haulage
(clumpy horse, tina turner berner werner, heavy artilary, alphabetti spagetti bernadettey)
Possesses a heart of gold and the brain of an ant. Under the illusion she is a Pomeranian or people. Super shy but loves a cuddle from her favourite few. Loves to holiday in Switzerland and her pawrents happily oblige. Likes to sit on your feet and cuddle on the sofa. Will wiggle her arse at you until you pat her butt, weird but loveable like her pawrents. Leaves nobody behind.
Buttons - Security
Buttons (boo bear, boop, cpt bananas, fluffy potato)
hard as nails, soft as a bunny rabbit. Super smart and can be bribed easily, total liability but will love everyone with enthusiasm like your drunk uncle on new years. Don't let her deceive you with her cookie pouch she is an ex Agility dog who used to outrun the collie dogs! Her skills in crumb and sky raisin extraction are unrivalled.
