222/365 Window-sill wedding flowers

The roses were her bouquet and the other flowers were a posy handed to her by a child from school outside the church after the ceremony. After a lovely service in the church across the road where they live, family, friends and colleagues attended an informal reception in their home. The new Mrs S placed her flowers on the sill in the kitchen and later...

... put the kettle on!

166/365 Wedding Day Memories II

Putting my wedding dress back on its proper hanger today took me back to my own wedding day once again. The hanger is trimmed with matching satin and lace, perfect for a wedding dress shot, hanging from the four poster bed on Saturday afternoon. Here you see my veil trimmed with that same lace, the satin sash and the lace skirt of the dress behind. Saturday's bride had chosen off-white, whereas mine was much more of a cream/ivory, so perhaps if I get to do another wedding it'd be a good idea to get a less creamy coloured hanger. I'll keep an eye out for one. (See 53/365 for the first Wedding Day Memories post.)

164/365 Lying down on the job?

I undertook my first official wedding assignment this afternoon. Here we have BT lying down to photograph a rather beautiful ceiling at the venue (Shottle Hall) and PM with a lens almost as long as he is tall. Between us we must have taken several hundred shots, I think its going to be quite a task to whittle them down to a manageable choice. I have no doubt that the newlywed couple, J & S, will have a long & happy marriage, and I was thrilled to share part of their beautiful day.

102/365 Roland & Suzanne's Wedding

My brother Roland married Suzanne today at The Boathouse, Sutton Park. They posed for the cake cutting shot, then started to cut the cake and were laughing because the knife got stuck! I have had to make a quick choice for the blog as I am so tired!

I took almost 300 photos and we are all exhausted, Mark and the kids are already in bed and more than likely already asleep as I type, but I had to blog ;0)

There will be an album on my Picasa gallery soon, but now I must get to bed, its been a long but lovely day - the partying is still going on!! Congratulations Rol & Suzanne!
