A couple of weeks back, I had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of Alison and Matthew, a sweeter couple, you couldn’t wish to meet. It was a nice to photograph in Runcorn, as I often shoot away from this little town in Cheshire. Everyone was a little worried, as the weather during this drought had been nothing but rain, we were pleasantly surprised on the day to see some blue skies.
I started the day off with Alison, who was doing remarkably well, and staying very calm, unlike her mum and sister who were on the verge of crying with happiness at any moment. Seeing Alison in her dress, set them over the edge.
I left the house, and headed down to St Michaels church to meet Matt, and his Bestman, Ian. Ian had a duel role to play on this day, not only was he bestman, but he has just become a dad, and little Jacob had arrived only just in time to allow him to be there. For a baby, still only days old, he was amazingly content and seemed to know to not cry too much in church, unlike a couple of the bridesmaids.
This was the first time I had shot in St Michaels Church, and it was stunning inside, the perfect setting for a wonderful wedding. It was wonderful to be able to have that bit of freedom to move around to capture different shots.
The ceremony, was being held at The Holiday Inn, Runcorn, Cheshire. The weather was still being kind, so we managed to get outside for a few shots before it was time for the meal.
The speeches, were beautifully heartfelt and humorously honest, two families coming together to be one.
At the evening reception, it was great to see Phil, from Celebration Boutique, who supplied the gorgeous chocolate fountain, as I shot his wedding last year, and he came up to see me recently for a bit of training for his new camera.
The first dance brought back so many memories for me, as they had the same song as I did, Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton.
And now, on to the pictures of this most wonderful wedding.
