Wedding: James and Emily

Now James and Emily, what can I say…

This wedding was ‘especially special’ for me as James is one of my very best friends and I was honoured to be asked to be his best man.  I obviously accepted and this left Ben on his own shooting this one.  Ben and I do all our weddings together so it was strange to not have a camera in my hand alongside him.  He did a great job though, he’s a great photographer, I’m really proud of him.

These first couple are of James listening to the speech Andy and I had prepared.  We were very kind to him overall but as you can see we made him squirm just a little.  He couldn’t get completely off the hook now could he!

James and Emily have a real thing for Japan and elements of this obsession crept into their wedding day with plum blossom everywhere (including on the cake) and origami on the tables for the guests during the meal.

Such a great cake, all flowers were made by hand out of icing.  I don’t know how they do it.

These things were great.  The favours doubled as the guests name places on the tables and they were apples each with their own knitted jacket that a friend of theirs had done all my hand leading up to the wedding.  That is what i call a good friend!

This is one of my favourite shots from this year, I love the expression, I love the shape of the hair and the detail of the eye brows and the tiara.  Well done Ben!

Wedding: Luke and Rachel

Ah Luke and Rachel’s wedding, what a great one.  We had such a good time.  These guys are pretty much the perfect couple for a wedding photographer to have as a client.  They were really up for having a good time and trying something different with their photos. We had pretty much the whole bridal party on a piece of playground equipment in Bedford park one point.

The parents got really into it too.  Seeing them on the roundabout was a highlight for me as so often parents don’t get involved.

This was a great little moment when Rach and Luke thought nobody was looking.  It really sums them up.  Luke is a true gent (hence him giving Rach his jacket) but they are just full of fun as he is doing a little dance for her.  Love this photo.
