The next shoot was James and Vikki's Wedding which we photographed at Elms Barn, Beccles, Suffolk
We love Elms Barn as a venue as it has some beautiful gardens for photos and in June all the roses looked absolutely stunning.
Again, although we didn't have bright sunshine (we had an overcast day which is great for photos as it's often a more flattering light to work with) we didn't have rain either so could use the gardens for photos. All's been very well this year with weather (no doubt it will all change now I've said we haven't had a wet wedding yet this year!)
Here's a selection of photos taken from their day (their images were only put online at the beginning of the week so this is a sneak preview if you haven't got the password yet!):
Here's the girls getting ready - I love this one of Jane and Jean (two of the bridesmaids) with their rollers in. I'm sure they may not thank me for putting this one on here but it makes me smile everytime I see it!
Vikki having her make-up done
What a sweet little bridesmaid Izzy is - she beamed when she saw herself in the mirror in her bridesmaids dress
Whilst I was busy photographing the girls David was with the boys. He took them off into the garden to do a few photos beforehand - it was hot and I love this one of James (in the front) and his bestman wiping their brows
Here's Vikki arriving with her dad
And here are a couple taken during the ceremony. One of the highlights of my day was sitting at the front waiting to do a mock-up signing of the register (whilst they were actually signing) and the music playing was Imagine. I was knelt down near James' dad and Nana when Nana Anne joined in with the song - happily singing along saying 'I love this one' - it was very sweet and made me laugh so thank you Nana Anne
As I mentioned earlier the gardens are glorious and the roses were all in full bloom - here's a small selection of the ones taken of the two of them
I love this photo with a vintage effect on it
These were taken during the speeches and one of them doing their cake cutting
They had garden games before the dancing in the evening. Here's James throwing one of the garden darts followed by some of the dancing
Sadly, Vikki's mum Karen had injured her legs in an accident a few weeks prior to the wedding (I'm not sure which parts of her legs she broke falling out the loft but both legs were in plaster) but, she was great and still enjoyed all parts of the day and even came onto the dance floor in her wheelchair to join in
Vikki had a very simple bouquet which has to be one of the most fragrant ones that I have smelt this year - a gorgeous, heady mix of peonies, roses and freesias!
If you attended James and Vikki's Wedding and would like to view their photos they have just been put online in the last day or so. They have the password which I'm sure they'll share if you ask.
James and Vikki and their family and friends were all a lovely bunch of people and a pleasure to photograph. We are sure James and Vikki have a very long and happy marriage ahead of them.
