I was invited to photograph this wedding as I had previously covered the Bride's brother's wedding in 2007, and then I also photographed the Groom's sister's wedding a couple of years later in 2010.
It was good to meet up with both families again, and there were also 3 new arivals!
The day started with preparation photographs where I spent an hour with Anne-Louise.
When I arrived at St. Wilfreds Church in Preston City centre, I caught the Groom arriving in a flashy red E-Type Jaguar! I photographed Mark, his Best Man and his Groomsmen outside, whilst the guests were arriving at church.
The church itself is like a tardis - if you live in, or ever visit Preston, you really need to check it out!
Before walking down the aisel, I captured the Bride & her Father taking a synchronised deep breath! Mark looked well chuffed when he saw Anne-Louise walking towards him! The wedding ceremony was really nice, and they chose to sign the register in view of their guests.
As we arrived at Stanley House, which sits atop a hill, we ascended into a winter fog! This didn't stop us getting outside however, and capturing their requested group shots, along with some great atmospheric images of just the two of them, whilst the wise guests stayed warm inside the reception area!
The evening was packed with fun as they had hired a great singer/entertainer who had all the guests singing their way through the wedding breakfast. This was followed up with fireworks, the first dance and then an exceptional London based pianist who created a great party atmosphere. The Bride and Groom also received a personal call from the Overtones http://www.theovertones.tv/ who were currently on tour..... Wow!
I did manage to steal them for 5 minutes for a cool shot in the dark with the E-Type Jaguar.
