Emily and Matt's Wonderful Wedding Day

Emily and Matt had glorious weather for their wedding the weekend before Easter. The sun shone down on them, and so did the warmest wishes of their family and guests. It couldn't have been a more enjoyable day - everyone was in such great form and the joy of the occasion was evident on each and every face.

As usual, I started the day with the bride as she made her final preparations. Emily's bridal gown and shoes were really beautiful:



And Emily looked like the happiest and most beautiful bride in the world:



As Matt waited for her to arrive at the church, there were no signs of any nerves, just a handsome groom who simply couldn't wait to marry the girl of his dreams:



I wanted to capture a few shots that really brought home the brightness of the day. So I lay in the grass to get this unusual angle of Emily's walk through All Saints' church yard in Leighton Buzzard and that enabled me also to include a blast of lens flare from one corner to the other of this image:



Once the vows and rings had been exchanged, Emily and Matt signed the register and legalised their marriage:



And before long, it was time to make their exit as a very happy husband and wife:



This shot was taken as Emily and Matt approached their guests, who had gathered to shower the newly weds in confetti at the church gate:



And then it was off to Bletchley Park for the reception, where we made a selection of relaxed images with which to cherish the memories of their special day:









The next image was shot during the Best Man's speech, and I think he can be pleased with the reaction he was getting:


Finally, a shot of the wedding rings, together with Emily's engagement ring, nestling on the cake:





What a superb day it was, Emily and Matt. I'm sure you enjoyed yourselves greatly - I know I did. As I left, the ceilidh band was getting into full swing and it was clear that a fantastic party was about to unfold. I hope you've recovered from that now!


My congratulations to you both and best wishes for a long and very happy life together,

David
