We tried to edit these photos in time for Heather and Matt to see them before they head off on honeymoon, but as they are leaving today, I doubt we made it in time Well they’ll have a their images in a DVD presentation box, awaiting their arrival home.

We shot Laura’s brothers wedding a few months ago, Matty and Lucy, so we’ll take it as a compliment that she wanted us to shoot her wedding.

We really enjoyed the wedding, and Laura and Stuart are such a romantic couple, always laughing, kissing or holding hands.

All the best for your future together.

Love
Barry & Louise

The marriage ceremony was held at the beautiful St. Etheldreda’s Church, followed by the reception in Bleeding Heart Yard, London. Unfortunately I was not able to make it to ceremony as I was running a dance class in Birmingham in the morning, however I managed to jump on a train and join Barry after the ceremony outside the church.

The Father conducting the ceremony allowed Barry to take as many photos as he wanted which is always a good start. As I wasn’t there during the ceremony I was unable to capture Barry’s facial expression when he’s deep in concentration – which was a shame as he pulls some crackers!

After meeting the lovely Steve and Kate outside the church we all walked to the Bleeding Heart restaurant, which is tucked away, behind a secret hidden door in the corner of a cobbled courtyard, providing a private and intimate setting for the reception.

The venue is decorated in a very homely style, with framed drawings, fireplaces, mirrors and wooden panels, which although was very dark from a photographer point of view, it was a truly romantic setting.

Speeches brought friends and family into the main room, where we were struggling for space. It was impossible to push to the front crowd so I resulted in climbing onto the window ledge to try and get crowd reactions to speeches.

A sneaky peek over to see how Barry was getting on standing on a chair at the back!

Look who’s busy changing his lens in the blurry corner of the shot below – I love the women’s expression in this photo, shame Barry’s lens switching ruined it

The speeches were great – its always good to hear about the bride and groom, and I must say there was equal amounts of sentiment and humour. I saw Barry having a little chuckle at one joke (which I won’t repeat) which got everyone smiling.

While I had stationed myself (didn’t want to lose my spot), Barry was on the move, to attempt to get a little closer to Kate and Steve. Whata mistaka to maka – blocked! Funny photo – wheres Barry?

Here’s the first couple of shots taken with the new set up. Needs tweaking but its a start.

The ceremony took place at St. Etheldreda’s Church, which is on a private road near Farringdon station. It’s a fantastic church with plenty of light. Bleeding Heart Yard, has plenty of history / urban myth, worth a google.

The guests were great also, a nice mix or Northerners and Southerners so plenty of banter no doubt.

Hope your enjoying your honeymoon, we are both very envious!

Love Barry and Louise xxx
