With it being deep into the heart of wedding season, I honestly don’t get the chance for a great deal of recreational photography. However, I did get the chance this evening to develop a couple of rolls of film that I shot a few weeks ago and getting to see the results of my work is nearly as rewarding!
Yesterday saw me privileged to photograph the wedding of two very good friends of mine, Leah and Jamie. Jamie was actually partly responsible for me meeting my own wife, and when he asked me to photograph his own wedding, I jumped at the chance.
Leah wore an absolutely beautiful gown that was hand embroidered with gold detail:
Whilst Jamie didn’t look too shabby himself, and was ably assisted by his best man, David:
The wedding started a little late, due to the bridesmaids being stuck in traffic heading towards the Sunderland air show. The ceremony, however, went off without a hitch and I’m sure you’ll agree that they make a wonderful looking couple.
The wedding reception was held at the Beamish Hall Hotel, an absolutely gorgeous venue on such a beautiful day. Most of the guests took full advantage of the lovely weather, whilst I dragged Jamie & Leah away for a short while to cool down for a while!
However, as the sun started it’s descent, I took advantage of some beautiful light to head back outside of the hotel and grab some more photo’s
Once the guests were able to drag themselves out of the garden and into the reception room, the evening’s entertainments were provided by The Music Company. Leah & Jamie claimed to not enjoy dancing in front of a crowd (though knowing Jamie, I’m not sure that that’s true!), but they still took to the floor for the first dance.
So this is just a test post whilst I put my new, spanky-looking blog through it’s paces prior to making it live to the masses. I’ve had a bit of brainstorming session, including some blue sky thinking and making sure that all of the low-hanging fruit was picked in addition to making sure that all of my balls remain in the air for juggling therewith.
Apparently, another lush feature of this blog template, is also the ability to upload some mad-sized massive pictures. I shall try this with a brief test below:
