EVERYONE A LOOKER .. WHAT CAN I SAY?

SARAH AND JOSH AND THEIR GROOMSMEN .. READY TO PARTY INTO THE EARLY HOURS
Sarah and Josh's wedding in a small village on the borders between North Yorkshire and Darlington was one to look forward to, a true English Country Garden Wedding.
One small problem .. it was pouring down, but, it was only a small problem and I was promised by Tammy, Sarah's mum that sunshine was on the way!
I turned up good and early at the small village of Aldbrough St John not far from Richmond two hours before Sarahs wedding. The plan was for her to walk to church with her father and after a fantastic intimate wedding to her sweetheart Josh before heading home in a round-about-the village sort of way in a Bently loaned by a friend of the family and join their closest friends and family for a champagne reception with canapes and a wonderful marquee wedding reception in the garden ... and despite the leaden gray skies early in the day, that's exactly what happened!
Sarah and her mum and I had first met some months befoe their wedding and we seemed to get on really well, so it was a good news day when I was booked to cover their lovely family wedding, and 6 weeks or so before the wedding I met with Sarah and her husband-to-be Josh for their pre-wedding portrait shoot. We enjoyed a couple of hours or more together and that meant that one their wedding day, we were not strangers, everyone could chill-out and have a fabulous wedding celebration while I just spent my time capturing great natural images of everyone having a truly fun time!
Once I had grabbed a few photographs of Sarah and her bridemaids getting ready, I headed out into the gardens to add lots of detail images from the marquee where Sarah's attention to detail included home made jam and chutnies for the English Tea Party wedding breakfast to come!
Josh looked cool, calm and relaxed after I walked across to the village pub in the pouring rain, the first of two occassions when my suit and cameras received a good soaking that day! He was enjoying a calming pint with his father and uncles and close family friends as guests gathered before the wedding service.
Still dripping, I headed back across the green and the bridge back to Sarah's house to make sure I didn't miss the wedding dress going on! Sarah looked stunning and her father had to hold back his tears as she walked down the staircase. As we walked outside to the Bentley which ferried the bridesmaids to the church, Sarah decided she was going to walk to church after all, despite the rain .. good for her!
It was smiles all round when Josh greeted his bride in the small village church, and before long we were back out into the rain and all the guests, replete with umbrellas, walked back to the family home for champagne and canapes.
After an hour or so, the skies cleared and the sunshine came out and we walked out to the marquee for the wedding breakfast and speeches, which were full of fun and tears!
Afterwards there was time for family photographs, some fun with a wall and with sheep, and it was laughs all the way as we headed inside once again for Josh and Sarah's first dance along with their family and friends.
It was a great day for Sarah and Josh and their closest family and friends in North Yorkshire!
