Believe it or not I was four days away from giving birth when capturing this wedding! I had my good friend Katrina come along with me to second shoot and to take over if needed, but I'm glad to say that I made it through the whole day! And what a day! Emily and Matt were supposed to get married in the outdoor ceremony space but the rain threatened throughout the morning and light drizzle and dark rain clouds made them decide it was safer to head indoors to get married. And it took nothing away from the day, Lythe Hill is it beautifully light space, and once all the guests were in and Emily was walking down the aisle in that stunning dress no one cared that they were inside rather than out.
We had fun during their getting ready morning and this joy for life continued throughout the ceremony and into the rest of the day. We still managed to get outside as the rain stopped for us which is fantastic, we got loads of family shots and couple shots in the outdoor ceremony location and then went for a little walk in the nearby woods with Emily and Matt to get a few more couple photos with a bit of a different background before heading back for some hysterical speeches again in a beautifully light room. The drinks were definitely flowing during speeches and this made for an excellent dancefloor when the band were revealed and the tunes started getting people to their feet, in fact, people were dancing to the sound check! When I see something like that I know it's gonna be a good party there's nothing I like more than people dancing!
I can't wait to be shooting here again soon, it's such a stunning venue so many different backgrounds and photo opportunities, a fab place to consider if you’re getting married.
