Marquee wedding in Whaplode, Spalding
Having a strong network of other wedding photographers who you can call on in an hour of need is important. And so I was only too happy to help out as a second photographer at the wedding of Mark & Sarah, and be on hand to take-over, for a photographer whose wife is expecting a baby at any time, in case their baby should arrive early.
And my word. I almost thought I wouldn’t make it to the church, so deep were the puddles stretching across the tiny lanes in the midst of Lincolnshire! The rain was torrential and didn’t let up all morning. Stories of the marquee field being flooded were worrying everyone. And the umbrella pile grew and grew in the church lobby as the guests arrived. Luckily the wedding car was able to drop Sarah right at the church door and the Ushers made a walkway of umbrellas for her into the church.
At the start of the ceremony the Vicar made a few announcements and joked that she didn’t think one of them would be a problem. And that was not to throw confetti outside the church! Little did she know that there would be brilliant sunshine as Mark and Sarah were pronounced husband and wife. I was blown away when the church doors opened for their exit and the sun flooded in. Hoorah!
We very quickly did the group photos and couple pictures outside the church while it was dry. As it turned out the afternoon was glorious. But I think everyone would have had a fantastic time whatever the weather.
