Laura & Chris.  Derbyshire.

3/12/2016

I spent my birthday this year photographing the wedding of Laura and Chris, in a pretty cool little converted chapel restaurant in the middle of Derby.

We started the day with some bridal prep at the couple's home in Ashbourne before moving on down to Masa Restaurant in Derby centre for the vows and evening do.

Bridal prep was a complete laugh - a house full of women drinking Prosecco.  With willy straws.  Need I say more!
Pretty soon the Limo turned up for the girls, so it was a fight through traffic to get down and parked up at the restaurant.  In typical fashion, the car park I had planned to use had been roped off for work, but a stroke of luck got me the very last on-street parking spot!

The restaurant itself is a pretty cool place.  A converted Chapel that dates back to the 1800s.  For more info on Masa, click HERE.

Chris was waiting patiently inside and pretty soon the Bridal Party made their entrance.  One of the Bridesmaid's first jobs raised a few laughs - the placing of a phone book at the end of the aisle for Laura to stand on.  Probably the best use of a phonebook in years - I have no idea where they managed to find one!
Pretty soon the vows were done, kisses were kissed and confetti was thrown.  The room was soon converted back to normal, drinks were flowing and food was served.
The wedding had a pretty cool travel-theme.  Paper planes made out of maps were soon zooming around - mostly over the balcony into the lower bar area!

After the speeches had been said, the DJ kicked the beats up and the party got underway.  The Bride and Groom get extra points from me for doing the dance from Pulp Fiction as their first dance.  One of my favourite movies.

It was a pretty awesome day.

Did I mention it was my birthday?  Well so did the Groom.  In his speech.  And the Bride.  And the Bridesmaids.  And the DJ...

Thanks for having me guys - it was a blast.

Here are a few images from their day.
