Last Saturday, I had my first wedding of 2013 to photograph.
The lovely Louise & Andrew tied the knot in the wooded area of Chaucer Barn, a beautiful venue & home in the countryside of Holt, UK.
The day started with a morning alarm set at 6am and lots of sunshine. But worrisome clouds were looming overhead as the day progressed and that could not happen on this spectacular day. Luck was on our side, and the gorgeous bride and groom narrowly escaped the rain that eventually poured down only seconds after the the outdoors ceremony ended. Good old England!
But the day was not in the slightest ruined because of it. By the time the ceremony was replicated indoors to legally bound the happy newly weds, the sunshine was back and we enjoyed the rest of the afternoon in the beautiful gardens.
Not only were the bride & groom show-stoppingly-stunning, their guests were also looking radiant and all of them were full of smiles.
Never have I worked with such a relaxed, anxiety-free couple on the biggest day of their lives. It was truly an honour to be a part of such an intimate affair.
I arrived home late that evening, eager to see the results of my photography & I was super happy with every photograph!
Of course, suffering with chronic illness, my 16 hour Saturday would not go unpunished. Sunday was spent in a dream-like state whilst I painfully tried to rest. I am almost fully recovered. It has been so worth it though. I wish this illness wasn't so crippling. I had decided at the start of the year that my photography business would soon come to an end, but it saddens me deeply. I'm not ready to say goodbye to a job I love so much, but my body rebels and I am not sure how many more weddings I'll have the pleasure to photograph.
For now, here are just a very small collection of Louise & Andrew's amazing day.
You are an amazing photographer! x
