Rebecca & Anthony

Rebecca was one of the most excited brides I have worked with, that was evident over a year ago when we first met.

Rebecca got ready at the Fermain Valley Hotel, her dress looked great and so suited her style.
 
 Her engagement ring was also very distinctive.
 Poppy was such a sweet flower girl.



 The groomsmen relaxed with some fine whiskey before getting ready to go to the Forest Church.

 While the strong overnight winds had calmed down, things were still wet and the fine morning gave way to periods of intense showers.  The car park entrance was especially treacherous!  A great moment captured by my wife and assistant Karen.

 Rebecca's arrival at the church coincided with the rain, but her smile never changed.


 After a lovely ceremony, it was out into the sun and we all went straight to The Venue for the reception.

 Between showers we got a few pictures in the gardens and there was plenty of time for people to mingle with a glass of champagne before being called in for the meal.
 The room and decorations were beautifully arranged.

 I always like to try to photograph the interactions between people, recording some precious moments between friends and family.
 While Jorge, Anthony's best man, gave a good speech, he seemed much more relaxed playing pool at the Fermain Tavern later in the evening!


 City Limits treated us to their normal great music.  Once the first dance had taken place, things became noticeably more energetic.



 While the vast majority of our coverage of a wedding is documentary and we pride ourselves on being very unobtrusive, I also love doing something artistic too.   Popping out briefly into the evening rain produced this image.   No umbrella for me, but well worth getting wet for!
