Every wedding we photograph has a story to tell (which usually comes out to leave the Bride and Groom red faced during the speeches) so we thought we would give you the (short) version of our story
Before we begin, most of you will be wondering where our name comes from, well Neill's late Granddad was called George but everyone called him Georgie and he started Neill's obsession with a camera, so we thought it was only fitting we paid tribute to the man that began it all........
So we are Nikki and Neill wedding photographers, best friends, husband and wife and team H (Hamersley, get it?)
In 2016 we had the most amazing little boy to add to our wolfpack- and he has had to get used to the camera pretty quickly, we are always snapping away!
We have an absolute obsession with all things Vegas (as you will read below) our visits are now in double digits and so our bank balance is down to pennies
Our dream job would be to shoot a wedding in......Bognor, only joking, it would be Vegas of course!
This is us, our story, our beginning......and a pic to show you just how much Neill loves being in front of the camera just as much as he loves being behind it....
Just good friends? Before we became husband and wife and wedding photographers by trade, Nell and I were just good friends and then came Vegas.....
What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas....right? wrong!..... So way back in 2006, after being family friends for 18 years, Neill and I take a trip to sin city as, yep, you got it just good friends. One night (or I think it could have actually been morning) we met a man who believed we were the perfect couple... WAIT A MINUTE, WHAT??!! "we are just friends" I protested but Vinnie wasn't having any of it! "Just marry her man, you guys are so great together" I'm not sure if it was Vinnie, the oxygen being pumped into the casino or ten Heinekin's but something got to Neill and the next thing he was declaring his undying love much to my shock and tears
I guess that's why they call it Sin City.......After our 10 hour flight home, which felt like it took 24 hours, Neill and I decided to end our 18 year friendship and become more than just good friends....
Red or Black, yes or no? Two years later we returned to Vegas where Neill got down on one knee and of course I said yes, and in April 2011 we were married in.... where else, but Vegas! We were so lucky to have had 30 friends and family join us for the most amazing day and of course we hired the best wedding photographer we could find.....
With over 300 weddings rocked by us what amazes all of our couples is that we are still the same passionate, professional but most importantly fun wedding photographers we were when we first started out....
I am going to stop talking now (something Neill prays for daily) but we love hearing how others met, so if you have a good story let us know and we can capture the next chapter on your wedding day.....
