First wedding of the year

Last week end was the wedding of my Brother Ben, to his Fiancée Natalie.  Fingers were crossed for the weather and it seemed to pay off as we managed to avoid the rain.

My day began with Bridal preparation photography at the Barns Hotel in Bedford before heading over to Oakley Church in Bedfordshire.  As my second job of the day was chauffeur the journey was made with a car full of very proud & excited bridesmaids.  Friends and Family greeted us at the church so I took the opportunity to grab some informal reportage shots.   

I had visited the venue already so I knew, as is often the case, lighting was going to be tricky in the church.  The ceremony was very touching and went without a hitch.  A couple of group shots and a confetti line later we all headed back to the Barns Hotel for the reception.  After giving the happy couple some time to speak to their guests I stole them away for some couples portraits before the final group shots were taken.  The rest of the day went smoothly and was very much enjoyed by all. 

Congratulations to Natalie & Ben
