Chris Chambers - Photographer for the BBC1 wedding series 'The Big Day'

'The Big Day' , a new five-part, prime time television series presented by Nick Knowles will be shown on BBC1 from July 5th.

Nick Knowles said: "It's supposed to be the happiest day of your life but very often the stresses and strains of organisation and family feuds can make it one of the most trying. We remove the bride and groom from this stress and ramp up all the pressure on the two families by forcing them to make all the decisions with all the consequences you would expect."

The relatives will be given a helping hand by a team of experts led by Nick Knowles , top stylist Hannah Sandling and wedding expert James Love . The experts will be there to ensure that the big day runs smoothly, on time and on budget, and be better than the happy couple could have imagined in their wildest dreams.

At the start of the week Nick meets the bride and groom to learn about their hobbies, favourite food and colours, personal preferences and outlook. This crucial meeting will be the happy couple's only input into the elements chosen by our team.

In the build up to the show filmed late last year, I was short-listed along with nine other top photographers from the Yorkshire region, following a series of interviews and meetings I was chosen as a photographer for the series and commissioned to photograph Paul and Emily's wedding taking place at Christchurch Doncaster and then Hodsock Priory near Blyth, South Yorkshire.
