The day started out with rain, and I swear I could have cried. I drove to the bride's grandmother's house praying for the rain to stop. Please, please just stop for lunchtime, stop for when we get to the church, please.
As I set about getting the shots of the bridal party getting ready (with a lovely glass of Bucksfizz - I was a spoiled photographer yesterday), I continued praying.
The bridal party consisted of Beccy, her sister Vicky and her mum Anne. All of whom were far more calm than I expected. I suspect it had something to do with the pampering from the having their hair and make-up done.
Beccy's dress was breathtakingly beautiful! She covered all the bases with fastenings, there was in inner corset,
A zip, and then 24 buttons,
Whilst I was with the bridal party, Gary was with the Groom and his grooms-men,
Tom on the left and his Best-man Ryan on the right. Ryan's best-man speech was brilliant (I heartily recommend him as a best-man).
Thankfully, my prayers were answered and we ended up with a lovely clear afternoon. The service was beautiful, and there were a few tissues in hands as vows were exchanged. St Annes is a gorgeous church, I mean come on!
From the balcony above the service I was able to get some lovely shots of the bride and groom throughout the ceremony.
Including the exchanging of the rings!!
Once the ceremony was over we went out into a now lovely, if slightly blustery day.
Then it was off to the venue for the evening celebrations. Beccy and Tom had a gorgeous car, and we took full advantage of the car and the now lovely weather.
Beccy, you looked absolutely stunning! Tom is a VERY lucky man!
After allowing everyone a few minutes to breath, Gary and I herded them all into the garden and handed out balloons.
I'm not going to share the family shots, except this one, because I LOVE it. Uncle Richard gave Beccy away, and this shot, well see for yourselves........
I'm going to finish with two shots of the happy couple.....
Beccy, Tom, Thank-you so much for allowing us to document your day! Have a wonderful honeymoon!
