Earlier this year I had the pleasure of shooting the lovely wedding of Mel and Aiden. It was a lovely little local wedding in Ackworth, near Pontefract. (Well, it's actually in Wakefield, but we get weird with postcodes round here!) There was no bridal prep needed on this one, so it was a quick blast to the church and then on to the pub! The ceremony was held in the beautiful St. Cuthbert's church. The sun was shining as Aiden pulled up in a pretty cool Aston Martin, looking all James Bond. This lad was cool as a cucumber - no nerves at all, just smiles all day. He was running late though - the bridesmaids had arrived 15 minutes before him, so everyone quickly bustled into the church before the bride arrived. The lovely old Austin Vanden Plas Princess that had previously delivered the bridesmaids soon turned the corner once again. Mel, looking radiant, stepped out. All Brides should be transported to a wedding in an Austin Princess - it's a 'Princess in a Princess' pun just waiting to happen! The ceremony was full of laughs and smiles, a proper joyous occasion. Mel was a little nervous coming down the aisle, but soon got swept up in the swing of it all. Songs were sung, vows were said, laughs were had and kisses were kissed. Time for the pub! The reception was held at The Rustic Arms, a beautiful little country pub tucked out of the way, surrounded by lush greenery. They do some pretty awesome food too! We were welcomed into the Arms (another pun waiting to happen) to the beautiful sound of Sondelle. It was lovely - I'd not heard a wedding singer in ages! In between being forced inside for little things like the wedding breakfast and the speeches / first dance, the majority of the day was spent in the beautiful gardens. Us British do make the most of the sunshine when we get some! There were plenty of laughs, plenty of drinks and plenty of astonished faces when the magic tricks started being performed by one of the Groom's family members. There was also a pretty awesome 'Bride sliding/falling down the kid's slide' moment. That was definitely your idea Mel! ;-) An awesome wedding. Thanks for having me guys. Here are a few images from their day.
