On Sunday 29th July I captured the #wedding of Gareth and
Helen at Coombe Lodge. The weather had been took a change from the recent
heatwave and heavy showers had been forecast. But on my arrival at Coombe Lodge
the weather seemed to be clearing and there was a chance we might get outside
for some parts of the day. Gareth was first to arrive and he quickly made his
way to his room so Helen could arrival and continue preparations. 
Helen got her
hair styled, her daughters took it in turns getting their hair sorted and
another friend helped out with the girls make-up. I captured all of the
dresses, Helen's shoes and jewelry. I then went to see Gareth and his step son,
there were they were almost ready and applying finishing touches. Helen had got
Gareth a love pocket watch as a gift and it was nice to see Gareth put it in
his waist coat. Down stairs and guests started to arrive, 
Gareth and his
groomsmen had a few shots together. The wedding ceremony was ready with a flow
arch and sashes provided by Enchanted Wedding Decor. I then went back to see Helen
having her wedding dress done up. All the children were almost ready with a
couple of final touches. Guests started to take their seats in the wedding
ceremony room and awaited the arrival of the bridal party. Everybody made it up
the aisle and the ceremony was ready to begin. There were 2 readings and the
wedding went very well.
My afternoon started indoors as there were a couple of spots
of rain in the air, but it wasn't enough to call it rain so guests ventured
outside for a confetti shot and a big group shot. Claire Parfittphotography took Gareth and Helen of for some romantic pictures, once I had
captured my footage I went into the wedding breakfast room to capture all the
details. The room looked beautiful with a butterfly theme. Just before the food
was served there was the speeches. Everybody did very well with laughter and a
few stories, there was also a surprise reading from Bradley.
My evening started with the help of maid of honour Pat, she
helped get guests together for special messages and I managed to capture a
family shot. Evening guests started to arrive and once the party room was ready
I captured the details. Cadence Entertainment Limited provided the dj and once
everybody had arrived announced the cutting of the cake. The bride and dad took
place first before the first dance, my evening ended outside capturing a
silhouette shot of Gareth and Helen, Congratulations x
