Happy New Year to all visitor’s to my blog and thank you for reading my pages.
January has kept me busy with wedding photography and first off was Clare and Kester’s lovely country wedding at their local church. When Clare chose early January for her wedding date, I am sure that she could not have imagined how lucky she would be with the weather. It was the most beautiful day and the country church setting was stunning.
I really enjoyed starting my day at the church for a change and it gave me lots of time to capture both the scene setting shots and details which give more depth to the coverage on a wedding day. I found Kester and his ushers fiercely concentrating on the tricky issue of pinning in their buttonholes and then in a more relaxed fashion, greeting the many guests.
The bridesmaids arrived and it was lovely to see a previous client, the very pretty Louise. Quite a long while after….! Clare arrived, looking stunning in a creamy silk dress with a beautiful neckline. The bridal party moved into the warmth of the church which was lovely but easily surpassed by the warmth of Kester’s gaze as Clare walked up the aisle towards him.
The reception was held nearby at Smeetham Hall which looked wonderful in the late afternoon sunshine. Clare and Kester were great to work with and appeared happy enough to pass by the lovely warming cocktails waiting on trays for the guests and wander outside with me to make the most of the light before it was too late.
The Barn at Smeetham Hall always looks fabulous and Clare’s choice of rich, colourful floral arrangements really looked fabulous. The table names confirmed the sporty nature of the bride and groom as each one appeared to be a mountain that they had skied down at some point!
I didn’t stay too late at this wedding but I made sure that I took my usual ‘leaving shot’ of the venue as night fell and the party continued on inside.
