Again the weather forecast wasn’t so good but in between the drizzle we did get breaks to do photos outside and we had a lovely time.
I started again with the bride getting ready whilst David again spent his time done the pub with the boys.
I love this one of Jo getting her dress on. 
I also love this high contrast one of her on the stairs before we left. 
It’s always the way on a wet day (especially when you are walking to the church) that it would start raining (more the sort of drizzle that soaks you unexpectedly) just as we were heading over for the ceremony - something known as Sod's Law I think!!! Fortunately we always carry a couple of giant white umbrellas for such occasions so, no catastrophe occurred, we got one out for Jo and kindly one of the ushers kept her dry.
Here’s Jo and her dad before they walked up the aisle. 
The ceremony was lovely and they even had a touring Belgium choir sing for them. After the service Jo and Mark had hired two old fashioned red double decker buses to take guests down to the beach for ice cream. Like all good plans, the rain meant that we weren’t sure if they would get to eat their ice creams on the beach so instead guests were given them as they got on the buses. Here’s some taken on the buses. 
Once we arrived at the beach it was still drizzling. Although Jo and Mark were happy to still go down to the beach they weren’t so sure their guests would want to get wet so I did a group shot of them in front of each of the buses and the guests waving from steamed up windows! 
They needn’t have worried – their friends and family were happy to come down on the beach anyway and thankfully although it remained overcast the rain stopped for a while. For anyone who knows Wells-Next-The-Sea you will be aware that in the height of the summer the beach and car parks etc can be heaving with people. Here’s where a wet day really helped us, due to the rain most people stayed away from the coast which meant it looked like this was their own private beach! Here’s just a small selection to have a peep at.
I love this black and white and colour mix with the beach huts. We also used the beach huts for some of the group shots. 
When it came to photographing Jo with the bestman and ushers they decided they wanted to pick her up. I love this photo of them. Needless to say Mark didn’t want to be left out so we did the same shot with him and the bestman and ushers which was very funny.
After we’d spent a little time on the beach we had to make our way back to the buses which drove us to The Crown (also at Wells) where the meal and evening entertainment was taking place. As we arrived back for the reception, a couple of brave guests threw a little confetti which thankfully I managed to catch on camera. 
In the evening I took one of Jo and Mark without flash to capture the atmosphere and the glow from The Crown which worked really well.
This is another wedding where although it was a very long day (we had to set off at 8am in the morning and weren’t home again ‘til gone midnight) it was well worth it and we enjoyed every minute of sharing in their celebrations. Again, another wonderful couple, great guests and a brilliant time had by all. I’m really looking forward to designing the album with the two of you when you are back this way at the end of August. I am expecting your proof book back this week so will be sending you this soon together with some album suggestions.
If you went to Jo and Mark’s wedding (or you couldn’t make it but would still like to see the photos) and you would like to view their wedding photos they are online now. I’m sure they’ll give you the password to have a peek at them.
