I met Jodie early in the morning at her home, she had just started her hair and make up, whilst photographing her beautiful wedding dress, I was suddenly attacked by a lightsaber, so I took it upon myself to fight back… obviously I didn’t stand a chance against her sisters son. I like to try and make friends with everyone on a wedding day; I feel it just eases the mood if you’re just friendly instead of too demanding.

The time had come to slip into her wedding dress, it suited her perfectly, all her accessories just added to the final touches. With the emotional levels rising and the tears creeping in, the real excitement had begun.

I travelled down to Marholm church in Peterborough to photograph Chris and his grooms party arrival, they all looked particularly smart.

Everyone was in great sprit all anticipating the arrival of the bride, who was traditionally, but only very slightly late.

At Marholm church the vicar allows photography from the front, which is a real privilege. The bride and groom will appreciate all the emotions you can capture in their faces, which are impossible to photograph from the back of the church.

The ceremony provided its fair share of tears, which was lovely to see.

We spent a short while at Marholm church capturing the reportage style photography that I like to include as well as some intimate images around the church grounds before we all headed to the Queens head in Nassington for the reception.

The Queens head in Nassington is a lovely buy dental antibiotics online venue. You overlook the river Nene whilst enjoying your welcome drinks and canapés. There is just enough space in the grounds for group photos. But I like to take the bride and groom off for some intimate photos close by to the venue and make use of the fields and rivers that surround the village. On this occasion we had access to the neighbours garden, which was lovely.

The day was speeding by and the wedding breakfast was in full flow, I spotted the potential for a good sunset opportunity, so before Jodie and Chris could indulge in their desert I suggested 5 minutes with the dipping sun and it was definitely a five minutes well spent, a lovely way to top off the day. It was then back to the Queens Head in Nassington for desert, speeches and lots of dancing.
