As usual, the day started with the detail shots at the bride's home. These are so essential for capturing the essence of the day. Katie's dress was stunning:
And so was Katie!
This is a really elegant image - just like a fairy tale princess:
The family home is like a mini motor sport museum, there are wheels everywhere. I think I even spotted a Ducati 1098 parked up in the fish tank - OK, maybe not. But the gallery on the landing made a great backdrop for a colour-filled portrait.
While Katie was making her final preparations, Nick was already in place at Bletchley Park. Between a visit to the registrar and a few anxious calls to guide his parents to the venue, we found time for some portraits in the ballroom. This is a particular favourite from the day - the panelling in this room makes a fantastic feature for a protrait.
A chat with best man Glen and Katie's brother Richard helped Nick to keep those last minute nerves under control.
And so to the ceremony, which was brief but bursting with love and warmth:
After the formalities we took advantage of a short break in the rain to grab a few shots outside. Katie's Dad, Dave, joined the cast for this shot. Despite my pleadings for a mean and moody look, he was way too happy to keep the smile off his face:
This shot sums the day up for me. Katie and Nick, you were quite clearly made for each other:
Those who know me well will know that food is never far from my mind. Perhaps that explains why I like the cake-cutting so much - but I do like to get a funky angle when shooting this part of the day.
And finally ...
Katie and Nick, thanks for being such an easy couple to work with. I hope you are enjoying your honeymoon and I look forward to seeing you both on your return.
David
