After the glorious sunshine of the past few weeks, the day started off quite overcast. I reassured Valerie while she was having her make-up expertly applied by Rochelle O-Brien, that overcast conditions are the best for wedding photography as it provides much more flattering lighting than harsh sunlight. However, I knew Valerie really wanted sunshine on her big day. She needn't have worried, as the sun came out as soon as the Richard and Valerie came out of the church after the wedding ceremony and it continued to shine for the rest of the day. Considering that I am writing this blog during a snow storm, I think they can consider themselves very lucky to have such a beautiful day to get married.
After a lovely wedding ceremony, led by a very friendly and humorous vicar, the happy couple left in a vintage Jaguar for for their reception at the beautiful Leicestershire wedding venue Sutton Bonington Hall at Sutton Bonington, near East Midlands Airport. This very classy country house really is a stunning venue for a wedding. It oozes charm - as do the staff who are always on hand to look after the wedding guests and provide an unforgettable wedding day. Richard and Valerie held their wedding breakfast in the conservatory which gave the guests a splendid view of the gardens and it gave me some great light to work with - always a bonus!
At the end of a perfect day, the guests joined Valerie and Richard to dance to the excellent covers band Likuidblu. The guests loved them. Smiley faces all around - just what wedding photographers like to see!
