I got to know Anna and Bryan when we did their pre-wedding shoot in Woburn earlier this winter. It was an unbelievably windswept day then, and their wedding day was one of equally challenging temperatures. You wouldn't know it, though, from their photographs. The warmth they share was clear for all to see and really bursts out of their pictures. It's evident that they are incredibly well suited to one another.
At the start of the day, I got some lovely shots of Anna's preparations at Flitwick Manor. This one shows Anna having her make-up done by Jo Saville who, I have to say, did a really excellent job:
We had a few minutes to capture some portraits of Anna and her attendants before I dashed off to Woburn. Here's Anna posing with the four-poster bed:
At the Sculpture Gallery, Bryan was waiting patiently for Anna's arrival:
And then on to the ceremony ...
... during which there were plenty of laughs:
Immediately afterwards, Anna and Bryan were presented with their first glass of champagne as a married couple (I'm not sure it was Anna's first of the day, given the number empty bottles in the room during her preparations - though she claims some were consumed the night before)!
Despite the wet weather, I lay on the ground to capture this shot of the bouquet, which also features a background comprising the splendid Woburn Abbey, our happy newly-weds, their stunning wedding car and a somewhat threatening sky:
Here's a very gallant Bryan helping his lovely new wife up a few garden steps:
Believe it or not, this classic shot was taken just 20 minutes after the one above with the threatening sky - just look at the difference!
Back inside (for it really was extremely cold) it was time for a few group shots before the speeches and wedding breakfast:
And finally, how's this for a real heart-felt greeting for Bryan from Anna as he stood up to make his speech:
What a fun day it was - congratulations Anna and Bryan on such a wonderful wedding. I'm sure you will enjoy a long and happy future together.
