On Saturday 25th of August I captured the #wedding of Michael and Frances at Cadbury House. There was blue sky and patch cloud, it was warm with a little breeze and no chance of rain. My day started with France and her bridal party. Helen farely was at the final stages of styling Fran's hair, everybody was ahead of time in the preparation stage. I arranged all of the dresses and got some nice shots of jewelry and shoes. 
I then went to see Michael who was getting ready with all of his groomsmen. They were almost ready and Michael showed of a lovely engraved pocket watch gift from Fran. All the guys also had whiskey in matching glasses and I got a cheers shot. Back with Fran and she had started getting her make-up applied by make-up by Sally. The bridesmaids started getting ready and everybody was looking beautiful. Guests started to arrival and that they're seats in the great room, Fran had Emma on hand to help do up her wedding dress and sort out the vale. 
As the bridal party walked up the aisle they each held a sign that represented a moment in Michael and Fran's relationship, Fran's board read their wedding date. During the wedding there were a reading and a little story about a dinosaur that entertained the guests.
After the wedding all if the guests got a welcome drink and helped outside where Lee Hatherall photography set up group and personal shots.  There was a magician keeping the guests entertained with a selection of tricks and everybody was generally having a good time. I captured the details shots inside the wedding breakfast room and guests shortly followed to take there seats. The speeches were first and I enjoyed all of them, with a lot of special gifts were given.
My evening started with getting special guest messages from family and friends. Once the evening room was ready I captured the details before the party started. Kieron Clark entertainment had provided a DJ and photo booth. After the cutting of the cake dj Mike announced the first dance with guests joining in mid way through. My ended with The Hijackers performing they're first set to a busy dance floor. Congratulations Michael and Frances x
