James & Rebecca

On Saturday 24th March I captured the #wedding of James and Rebecca at Manor By The Lake. There was no snow and the showers had passed over. Although it was cloudy the temperature was good and I was preparing for a lovely day. My day started with Rebecca and it was to see the bridesmaids make-up. I then went on a walk of the grounds and I was taken back by how much this Manor house had to offer. I then went back to see Rebecca have her make-up applied and I captured her dress and details. James was also getting ready at the manor and I met up with him and his groomsmen. Guests started to arrive and I went back to capture the moment Rebecca's dad saw her for the first time in her dress.

The wedding all went to plan and afterwards it's time for the pictures. First there were two lines to form a tunnel, James and Rebecca walked down and got covered in confetti. Welcome drinks got handed out and everybody started to mingle and chat. Phil Webb Photography arranged the personal and group pictures, the details within the wedding breakfast room looked amazing, lots of lighting creating a lovely mood.
After the wedding breakfast there were the speeches, all did a fantastic job and the best man delivered a surprise speech, he had claimed to be nervous but show no signs and it was packed with lots of funny stories and the odd gag. My evening started with getting some night shots of James and Rebecca with Phil the photographer. Inside the party room and there was a magic selfie mirror and a starlit led dance floor. With the cake in the middle of the dance floor that did not stop guests having a pre first dance, dance. For me that is always a sign of a good night ahead. After the first dance the dance floor filled again and danced the night away. Congratulations James and Becky Hardwick x
