As soon as I arrived to photograph Carol and Mikes wedding day it was a fantastic surprise to see such a vibrant bouquet and such lively atmosphere with all of the bridesmaids and flower girls getting ready. Make-up was being applied, hair was being sprayed and shoes were getting squeezed into! I took great pleasure in capturing all of this excitement and couldn't wait to take all of the bits and bobs outside to photograph against that fantastic red wall!
On such a hot day these little flower girls couldn't have been more co-operative! A beautiful little photo shoot while the bridesmaids were readying themselves was perfect to help ease the nerves of such a big job for these pretty young girls!
On arriving at the church I was thrilled to see such an amazing dramatic sky as a fantastic backdrop to the church. Just a little time before Carol arrives to squeeze in a few family photo's of the Groom, his best man and especially his ever so proud Mum!
All sweet and innocent doesn't last very long with these two cheeky chappies around.
Nerves heightened as the first car arrived with the bridesmaids. Flowers at the ready and the guests were ushered into the charming church to await the arrival of Carol and her lovely Mum.
One last look of reassurance from one of the bridesmaids Teresa who we have had the pleasure of photographing before as another beautiful brides bridesmaid! Carol and the girls headed into the church to the delight of a very nervous husband to be Mike.
Carol and Mike now head off to greet their guests again as Mr and Mrs!
I can never resist a quick through the window shot either!
While the guests enjoy a quick drink and themselves comfortable we head up the road to Cheatham Park for some lovely family photographs with some lush greenery! Groomsmen were wandering off, bridesmaids feet throbbing, kids running riot and two very stressed photographers but we couldn't have got any better photographs than this lovely bunch right here!
Finally after the cake cutting, shoes off, a few giggles from us and obviously a couple of keepers for the album!
A quick change of wardrobe was thoroughly welcomed by Carol and she looked totally adorable in this cute little fairy dress!
Such an atmospheric day filled with love and emotion all throughout and the vibrancy really did follow from start to finish. A truly happy couple and two loving families all brought together on this wonderful wedding day.
We wish Carol and Mike an eternity of love and happiness.
