Marcus and Holly Wedding St Johns Church & Kings Head Hotel Cirencester


On Saturday 1st September I captured the #wedding of Marcus and Holly at St. John's Church and the King's Head hotel Cirencester. The weather was looking good with sun breaking through clouds and the temperature was just right. This was also a special wedding for me as I was going to be a wedding present from Marcus's sister April and her husband. My day started at the King's hotel where Holly was busying having her hair styled. One of the bridesmaids was making button holes, another bridesmaid was having make-up applied. Mum helped me arrange the wedding dress and bridesmaid's dresses, I captured the shoes and jewelry. 
April come into the room with a surprise for Holly, it was a gift and card from Marcus, she was a lucky girl with many gifts and a few messages. Afterwards I went to see Marcus who was with his groomsmen and in the final stages of getting ready. There was a knock on the door and the bridesmaids had the button holes, cones of confetti and most importantly a card from Holly. Marcus wasted no time opening it and learning he had been treated to a family holiday. I made my way to the church where guests started to arrive and then captured the groomsmen come out if the hotel and walk to the church. There wasn't much time until everybody had to take there seats and await the bridal entrance. I went back to the hotel and filmed Holly and her bridal party walk from the hotel to the church and then up the aisle to see Marcus. The wedding had a reading from a guest and a lovely exchange of wedding rings.
After the wedding guests gathered outside to form to lines from Marcus and Holly to walk down and get covered in confetti. Phil the photographer set up group shots around the back of the church before all the guests made their way back to the hotel and onto the roof terrace for a welcome drink. I captured the wedding breakfast room and the flower arrangements from wild about flowers were amazing, they also provided the bouquets and button holes. Just before guests were due to sit down me and the photographer took Marcus and Holly back to the church for some romantic pictures. We also made the most of a town wedding with capturing some lovely shots through the streets of Cirencester. We got back to the hotel just in time for the speeches. I really enjoyed all of the speeches in particular the best men with their props had guests in stitches.
My evening started getting special guest messages, special thanks to April for getting the guests together. The party was downstairs and there was a magic mirror with a sweet table, the Wedding cake and lots of other details to capture. Guests really made good use of the magic mirror and it wasn't long before guests started dancing. Pre first dance dancing always means we're going to be in for a great night and I wasn't let down. After the first dance and bride and dad dance the dance floor filled and the DJ mixed into the night. Congratulations Marcus and Holly x
