Emma greeted me at her front door; her face was full of emotion and anticipation. The atmosphere amongst the bridal party was electric, it felt like everyone had been waiting an eternity for this wedding day at Normanton church and Barnsdale lodge to happen.
The wedding preparation photographs were fun to capture, everybody was busy playing their part. After an emotional few hours at the house it was time to make our way to Normanton Church. This is an ever increasingly popular venue for your wedding ceremony, and for good reason, Normanton Church is simply stunning, and on a still, blue-sky day like Emma and Andrew where lucky enough to have, it’s just perfect. I got to the church just in time to photograph the grooms men walking up from the car park, I always love that shot, I also like have the grooms men in front of the church with Rutland water behind, quite an iconic image, which is a must get.
Emma arrived just on time, she was so emotional, and it was lovely to discreetly capture her facial expression before the wedding service. Finally they locked eye contact for the first time, what a special moment it was. The ceremony was touching and a privilege to whiteness.
We stayed at Normanton church to photograph the big group photo; some smaller bridal party photos and finished of with some intimate images of the bride and groom.
Everyone then order antibiotics online canada made there way to Barnsdale Lodge for the wedding reception. Barnsdale lodge is a great venue to work at, the garden space and courtyard are perfect for the drinks reception, and out on the croquet lawn is a good option for group pictures. But the best part for me is having the Rutland water shores only a few minutes drive away, especially in the summer months when time is on your side. I like to take the bride and groom down to the shoreline. In the evening light Rutland water looks wonderful, and when the sky decides to glow orange, simply breathe taking.
I stayed long into the evening to capture some fun dance floor antics, and then finally went home for a rest
