Bride outside

Smiling bride from above

Knowing Karen quite well, I knew I could get away with this cheeky photograph. Karens lively personality is summed up perfectly in this picture!

Swing chair

Despite the muddy conditions, all were agreed that we couldn't not get some photos on the swing chair on the lawn.

Archaeological cake

Karen and Alistair met whilst studying archaeology, and so it was only fitting to have some archaeological "flavours" with the cake!

Child and cake

Big cakes are like magnets to small children. And larger guests.

Party dance

Having fun on the dance floor!

Scene setting

A nice way to remember the date!

First dance

With a small dance floor and group of guests, I opted to not use flash photography when photographing the dance. This posed some challenges, but also led to some quite atmospheric grain effects on the final images, whilst not detracting from the dance itself.

Late night fun

This image is why it's important for the photographer to stay till the end of the wedding if possible. So many moments happen on the fly, they might be funny, intimate, or just random. This photograph was taken towards the end of the night and shows the brides son decoration her dress with glow sticks.
