Leanne & Richard - St Martin's, Eynsford, Kent 04/07/09

The big day went very smoothly, the recent unsettled weather holding off so it was humid with very sunny spells - the usual English summer in fact. As rehearsed the week before, the wedding ceremony went well with no mistakes, and although St Martin's church had been slighly rearranged from when I visited the week before, I was still able to get my designated 'photographer spots'. I had to crouch behind the bridal party in order to shoot the ring exchange; otherwise I couldn't have seen anything from where I had been standing. Although I had been told the rear alcove/main altar was out of bounds, there was a choir stood there on the day. I'm sure it was due to insurance purposes and they sounded great so I couldn't really complain! 

Afterward, group shots were taken by the river; I had to put on my loudest bellow to move people around which was difficult as my voice is only just recovering from a nasty cold. Dinner and speeches followed; as there were three best men these went on for some time! I then sneaked the couple off for posed formal photographs in the adjacent cricket meadow where there were some picturesque willow trees and the all-important bench to sit Leanne and Richard on!

We got some nice posed shots and it was back for the rest of the festivities. Congratulations to the happy couple! More photos to follow on Facebook and my main website www.amberglowphotography.com (password protected gallery).
