Victoria & Duncan. Pontefract.

A few weeks ago, I had the awesome pleasure of shooting the wedding of Victoria and Duncan in the village I grew up in - South Kirkby.  Which has a Pontefract address and a Wakefield postcode - just to confuse everyone about where it actually is!
I love going through Kirkby.  The sights always bring back memories.  Lots of the places I remember have gone, but a few still remain.  One of which was the church where I was shooting.  Right at the bottom of my old street!

The day started with Bridal prep at the couple's home.  I use the term Bridal prep loosely - I pretty much photographed everyone getting ready except the Bride.  We even had a little birthday cake surprise!
The prep was complete chaos - everyone and everything was everywhere! 
It was brilliant!
The time soon ticked on, so it was into the Roller and on to All Saints Church - where I've actually never been before!  (Maybe I once went with school as a nipper, but I can't remember it.)

Duncan was waiting patiently at the altar, and pretty soon his Bride-to-be came swishing down the aisle.  Looking absolutely radiant.

Proceedings got under way, and it wasn't long until little Mielle decided she wanted to get in on the action, so the rest of the ceremony was spent with babe-in-arms, until Victoria passed her over to the Vicar for her Baptism.  And cold water on a baby's head only ends with more tears!  Victoria soon dished out some magic mamma-milk to save the day. 

I've got to say, one of the things I find most beautiful in this world is seeing a Mother feed her baby.  Watching a Mother feeding her baby during the magic of her wedding day was absolutely sublime. 

Things were soon wrapped up at church and it was on to the beautiful Hostel at Hooton Pagnell.  Where eating, drinking, dancing, laughing and loving was the order of the day.
 
And a bouncy castle.  Obviously.

I loved every minute of this wedding.  Thanks for having me guys - you were both awesome!

Here are some images from their day.
