Rachel & James – Wedding at Irchester & Falcon Hotel, Castle Ashby

We begin, dear reader, in Irchester for the marriage of Rachel and James followed by a quiet gathering at the Falcon Hotel in Castle Ashby.  Rachel was a bit of a diva to be honest and she kept wanting to be photographed near wasps, she loves wasps.

Read on to see that last sentence couldn’t be further from the truth;)

 

James is one cool customer; not nervous at all.

Come on, you said, “ahhhh” didn’t you?

Yep, not nervous at all:)

Daughter Phoebe was close to the action throughout.  Here she is doing her best to look aloof.

Right, time to party at the Falcon Hotel in Castle Ashby.

I think the laughter below was something to do with a vajazzle – google it, unless you’re at work.

Remember i mentioned Rachel’s love of wasps?  She’s absolutely petrified in fact – good news about the orchard then!  Here’s Rachel mid-wasp-defence-mode. Kind of a flappy hand dance followed by a loud moo-ing noise (now if i was writing for ‘Are You Being Served‘ that sentence would probably lead somewhere else).

You said, ‘Ahhh’ again didn’t you?

In short, a more relaxed and fun day you couldn’t find.  Rachel & James (and Phoebe) were brilliant, this one was a breeze.  Here’s the verdict:

Just wanted to drop you a quick mail to say THANKS for everything you did for us on our day…. and our beautiful photos. We love them! Whoop Whoop! So many people have commented on how good you were (on the day as well as your photos!!!) Couldnt agreed with them more. Looking forward to being on your blog too!!!!”

 

Helen & Chris – Wedding at Great Bowden & Kelmarsh Hall

So we begin in Market Harborough with Helen’s preparations for her marriage to Chris at Great Bowden church before moving to Kelmarsh Hall – one of the best locations we get to shoot at.

Now for a change of pace at the Shoulder of Mutton in Great Bowden.

Technically, i’m not sure brides can ever be late.

A proud brother.

“You sure?”

Chris isn’t the sort of fella to do anything he isn’t sure of!

Onwards to Kelmarsh Hall [tip: the building on the left serves delicious homemade cakes - it was research btw and hopefully tax deductible]

There were some excellent speeches on this one, although i’ve been to rugby dinners that were less near the knuckle!

Hey, they’re only human:)

Pretty sure Don’t Stop Believing was playing around this time.

And so night fell on Kelmarsh but silence definitely did not, the party continued, hard.  Thoroughly enjoyed our time on this one.

Kath & Craig – wedding at Dodmoor House

Despite promises to keep this blog more up to date, the work load has beaten me again.  To address this, i’ll be trying to get a few posts up this week.  First of all, let’s look back on the marriage of Kath and Craig at Dodmoor House.  We begin with Kath and her curlers.

Craig did what any self-respecting husband-to-be should do, ensured the wife-to-be had something to open during the bridal preps.

Reckon it’s safe to say the boy done good!

Onwards to Dodmoor then, where we await a convoy of Mercedes.

We are available for civil partnerships by the way.

Tales of Craig’s wheeler-dealing: authentic papyrus bookmarks going cheap after a decade of not selling.

The party got into full swing.

Did i mention we do civil partnerships?

It was a fun day at Dodmoor as always. Particular shout out to Ash for his sterling efforts during the groups when he single-handedly managed to double the length of the list whilst simultaneously not getting me a drink from the bar.

Pleased to say the pics have gone down well: “We love them, they’re perfect!!!  We like, we like!!!  You captured everything we wanted and they’re just awesome, I could look at them all day (and at the weekend I may just do that!!)!”  It’s also the first time i’ve been called a “comfort blanket”:)
