What weather we have been having - wet, wet, wet. However Saturday was a strange mixture of sunshine and showers. Today we were on the farm (one of my favourite venues) at Wedding's & Wellies. I met Suzanne & Chris last year at the church in Noristhorpe, where they were getting married. It was one of the strangest client meetings I have ever had, having to sit through a great fun service (all about the Olympics) with children carrying torches and running relays. So our meeting was very brief, though I knew the wedding was going to be very relaxed and so much fun. Suzanne was getting ready at a beautiful bed and breakfast called the Old Rectory in Mirfield, it is a stunning building with magnificent gardens. So after Suzanne was dressed in her beautiful wedding gown - along with her bridal wellies, we managed to get some great shots in garden. I then met Chris at the church which is at the top of the lane from Weddings & Wellies, the sun was still shinning and then all of a sudden, the wind whipped up and the heaven's opened and gosh, it did come down - so much that we all dashed in doors. So by the time Suzanne arrived it was a deluge. The wedding is very emotional and Suzanne was the most nervous bride I have ever seen - but she managed ok. Once the wedding was over the tractor and trailer was waiting outside and it had stopped raining - so we all trekked of down the lane to the Party Marque in the field. The Marque was decked out with bunting and the setting was for cream tea's with china cups and saucers, a different set for each table - it looked fab. Guests joined in the fun with many wearing their wellies, some decorated with the wedding date in diamanté. After the breakfast - Wedding Wanging was played and it was great fun as I got to ride in the little buggy. With dramatic sky's in the background I set some bails of hay up with my picnic blanket and hamper to get some great shots with a very atmospheric background. Great wedding, great day and great couple - fun, fun, fun.
