Every wedding has a story and Gemma and Gareth originally kept their wedding a secret from their guests, including the bridesmaids, best man and their families! They were told to keep the date free for Gareths 30th birthday party. However family guessed and the secret was out but it did mean the best man and bridesmaids got to try on their outfits and luckily everything fitted.
Gemma made her grand entrance down the staircase, which both Martyn and myself from different angles. The couple wrote their own vows and mentioned how important their children were to them. It was a very emotional service.
It wasn’t the warmest day in March but after the service we all braved the weather for some outside photographs and made the most of sunshine.
After the meal, the best man did his speech, which he had only a week to prepare for! He did manage to present the couple with some children’s toys. Meanwhile the children had the biggest goodie bags I’ve ever seen. They were then entertained by Magic Mike, I must say he got them very excited, which made for some great photographs. The adults were immortalised by a caricaturist.
During the first dance the DJ projected about 30 of our images that we had taken throughout the wedding. I noticed a lot of oo’s and ah’s and quite a few tears, which gave me a real sense of satisfaction.
We ended coverage with the guests doing some fancy moves on the dance floor.
They really are wonderful photos
