⚡️ 30000 STEPS TO LOVE ⚡️
Jeez I'm not sure my brain has quite recovered from the week of craziness that was Download Festival. It's not even about the music or getting drunk really. Instead good times are had because of the people you share it with. Your fellow amigos in the trenches. Of course smack bang in the middle of that I had a glorious wedding in Leeds. Around 30000 steps, an hour and a half drive, & I was back in civilisation amidst the glorious forms of Kasia & Danny. We won't mention that literally on the day I left Download, Paige's entire stall was knocked down and broken into little pieces by the frickin wind. Because the only gust on this day was my winds of love for this beaut two. (How's that for a Segue)
I mean Left Bank is always a doozy of a wedding venue. The staff are always amazing, the food is always banging & I consume more double espressos than Robbie Williams on an all night bender. I might of had a little case of the sleepies but the minute I set foot into this epic Leeds wedding venue with a camera in hand & love in my heart I was locked in to make some art from love in the city where I was born into the world.
Kasia & Danny's ceremony led by the always lovely was frickin epic. I'm not sure I can think of a better venue to slap out a prism like Lex Luther chasing Superman with a handful of Kryptonite. Once these beaut two had said their I do's I drove them over to Kirkstall Valley Nature Reserve for some epic portraits by a scenic waterfall full of Crisp Packets & opportunity. Making magic with these two amidst the woods was just so damn spesh. In fact the entire day was just so frickin easy when you have such spectacularly beaut humans in front of the camera.
Back at Left Bank it was AMAZING food by Manjit's Kitchen. I mean I know it was already unreal, but it was also the first proper meal I'd had in a few days & it tasted extra special. I just pity Paige in the tent that evening after consuming my body weight in Masala Daal. Thankfully I didn't take out the rest of the Mysticum Luna Download Structure with my own all encompassing wind.
After that it was more portraits & epic dancing amidst the fading light radiating across this spectacular Leeds venue. A badass party led by the awesome Apollo Brass Band ensued before I packed up my stuffs & hauled ass back to Download that very evening. What a weekend whirlwind of colourful love & rock n roll.
A massive thank you to Kasia, Danny & their friends & family for being such an amazing set of people all day long. I would walk 30000 steps & drive for 3 hours all over again just to bring those memories home.
