I was back in Wansford for the wedding of James and Louisa. Earlier in the year we did a pre-wedding shoot so that they could put a picture frame at the reception for their guests to sign as a momento of their day.
It took us a little while to get the right shot but I think the result was worth the effort.
The weather recently has been a bit iffy to say the least but for James and Louisa’s day the sunshine came out and made for a great day.
I spent some time with Louisa whilst she got ready but soon had to leave for the church to meet up with James.
Wansford church is only a couple of minutes walk from the Haycock Hotel where the reception was being held so James did not have far to come.
As ever the button holes were a cause for concern. We spend a lot of time at weddings helping guests with their button holes and so carry a range of “equipment” including spare safety pins.
The groom waited anxiously – but he needn’t have worried as his bride actually turned up early.
Last minute check on makeup and then into the church.
Apparently lip gloss is a bugger difficult to keep in place…
The vicar this week was very friendly and quite happy for photography during the ceremony – which was a relief to me and the videographer. I chose to keep to the rear of the church which turned out to be a good call as the vicar stood close to the couple throughout the ceremony and keep the whole wedding party standing throughout too. This made the video guy’s view very restricted but I did manage to get an angle for some shots.
The couple made their way to the Haycock in my favourite wedding car – a Jaguar.
And since the weather was kind to us we had chance for some romantic shots in the gardens.
James has got his priorities right – two glasses of champagne (I think he did share some with Louisa).
For me this is what weddings are all about – the romance and intimate connection between two people in love.
And what wedding would be complete without the first dance? As we move into Autumn and the evenings are getting darker quicker (boo!) it does lend itself to making for more dramatic first dance shots. Especially when the disco crew have their spot lights on.
