Well,
this was one Wedding where every possible detail had been thought about! It was a truly fun-packed day with quite a
few surprises for David & Leanne’s guests!
My
photography started at Leanne’s parent’s house where the Bridesmaids, flower-girl
and paige-boy were all getting ready. It took a few minutes for everyone to get
used to my being there, but I was soon forgotten and I got on with capturing
the preparations.
I
then caught up with the Groomsmen at Boscombe’s Salvation Army, where a Brass Band
greeted the guests as they were seated. It was quite deceptive as it seemed
like such a slow trickle of people were arriving, but before long the place was
packed!
David
had written a few movie-themed instrumentals which were being played by the
brass band prior to Leanne’s arrival. I
decided my best position for the Bride’s entrance was right at the front, so I
was blasted with the full orchestral entrance – it was truly a special
moment. By the time Leanne got to the front
David had a tear in his eye (and I nearly did too!! It was so exciting!)
I
was able to photograph freely throughout the wedding ceremony and I was able to
sneak upstairs to the balcony, as well as down towards the front. Leanne’s Bridesmaid sang an Adele solo, which
was just superb. I think there was more
musical flair in that room than on Britain’s got Talent!
After
the service, David & Leanne had arranged for tea and biscuits for everyone
before we headed off to Parley Manor.
When
the Bride & Groom arrived at Parley Manor, all their guests were
waiting. We had about an hour before
their Wedding Breakfast so I decided that we should crack on with the
photographs as the weather looked a little dubious!
David’s
Groomsmen certainly got into character with some interesting model poses …
The
Wedding Marquee looked stunning with the purple colour scheme.
There
was a sweep stake for the Grooms speech – I think a lot of people had banked on
it being a verbal marathon, but he wrapped it up in under 20 minutes, which,
based on comments from their wedding guests, was pretty good going!
Afterwards
David and Leanne went for a walk around Parley Manor’s grounds whilst the
guests were entertained with a magician and caricaturist.
And
to top it all off, after the first dance we were all treated to a great
Fireworks display – wow what a day!!
Congratulations David & Leanne – I had a really great day and thoroughly enjoyed photographing your Wedding. I wish you all the best for your future together!
