Wettest wedding award
My camera and I got very wet but I was as happy as a toddler in wellies jumping in puddles shooting Adam and Wendy’s wedding. It was wet, very wet. My wettest so far in fact. The rain didn’t stop at all, not for a minute. But it really didn’t matter, not least for Adam or Wendy who seemed to be having a ball.
We got off to a good start with 17 pictures of Wendy’s Jimmy Choos LOL. Only a shoe-lover would understand why you need Choos under a long dress. And it was indeed a very wise investment – I photographed Wendy and her Dad as they walked up the path to the church, in pouring rain, dress hitched up, Dad valiantly carrying the brolly and Wendy’s bouquet, to cries from Wendy of ‘you can see my shoes!’
The Groom’s choice of transport to the church was always going to be an important decision as Adam is a motoring writer. So, a Porsche it was. It was also very fitting that the table favours for the male guests were toy cars and the band for the evening was called ‘Airbag’! The girls had Molton Brown lavender sleep mist which was chosen to match the pink and lavender colour scheme. Wendy is incredibly thorough with the most amazing attention to detail – even her toes were perfectly manicured in purple.
The rain didn’t stop play for the photography. We used the church doorway for group photos and I have to say a huge thanks to Best Man Dai for his help in holding brollies over the guests while I set the shots up, whipping them away at the last minute and holding one over me while I took the pictures. Adam & Wendy were troopers all day – just ignored the rain and carried on enjoying themselves. Needless to say umbrellas made a big appearance in the photos but they make great props!
