wedding

i shot a wedding the other week.

the newlyweds just got back from honeymoon and told me they don't mind me 

sharing some of their photos with you so...

here's the bride's room in the morning

peaceful and calm. everything laid out.

here's the bride being made up

these first two pics were taken with my leica m9 and a 21mm lens

after make-up it was time for the bride to get dressed...

i offered to tie it up with a knot, but she said she was happy with a simple bow.

here she is checking herself out in the mirror

giving a smile for the camera

and then a more serious expression when i told her i'd seen the groom and he was

having second thoughts about the whole thing...

it was only a momentary pause, then she was back to smiles again

outside the house her mum and sisters were ready

and waiting for their car to turn up

when the cars arrived it was time for action...

let's go to work !

half an hour later the happy couple were husband and wife

yay !

back at the hall i set up a light to knock out a few portraits of the newlyweds

here's the groom doing some repairs to the bride's 'something blue'

after the guests arrived and i did the group shots, there was just 

enough light to shoot the bouquet throwing thing

as the single ladies jostled for position, the bride gave another smile.

( looking at this photo now, i would put money on the blonde girl )

a few minutes later and it was getting daaaaarrrk as my mate darren would say.

time for one last shot outside though.

it was a great day.

i'd just like to end by saying congratulations and best wishes 

for the future to magnus and juliana.

the bride and groom.
