Lauren & Jon's Perfect Wedding Day

I had a great time on Friday at Lauren and Jon's wedding. Prior to their big day, we'd worked together twice on a pair of pre-wedding shoots. I'm a firm believer that the experience of a pre-wedding shoot helps me build an excellent rapport with couples and that this adds real value on the wedding day. In Lauren and Jon, I was blessed once again with a fantastic couple to work with. They get on so well together and are an ideal match for one another - even down to their complementary funky specs!

The day started off at Lauren's family home where mum put the finishing touches to Lauren's gorgeous wedding gown as the bridesmaids looked on, suitably impressed:



Lauren looked like a supermodel bride:



And, fittingly, there's something of the cool super hero about Jon:



The wedding ceremony was a really happy affair - just look at these uncontainable smiles:



Having fun was an important part of Lauren and Jon's day which is one of the reasons they opted for these amazing Beauford wedding cars. Owner Rod Robinson has adapted the vehicles so they blow bubbles out of the back as you drive along. It creates an amazing spectacle which the guests love, especially children! This shot shows the newly-weds and their bridesmaids arriving at Knebworth, venue for the reception:



Here's Jon with the lead car:

Jon had hired a separate car to make his way to the church, an Aston Martin Vantage. The classic British car, Aston Martin is my favourite marque, so we made several images with the Vantage, too. How cool is this!



I always like to shoot a close-up of the rings at a wedding. This time, I arranged them on the cover of the wedding guest book:



And finally, here's a full room shot taken during the Father of the Bride's speech:



It really was a fun day and I know everyone enjoyed themselves a great deal. Congratulations Lauren and Jon on a wonderful wedding, and my very best wishes for a long and happy marriage,
