Elizabeth & Richard - St Peters Church Marlow & The Monks Barn Hurley 09 April 2011

What a scorcher of a day for Liz and Rick’s big day! Deep blue sky and just a touch of a breeze to get us started. The atmosphere just flowed superbly all day right from meeting the beaming bride prior to the wedding. Added to this I had just bought a new lens that given my photography a whole new perspective. I should hope so its cost me a small fortune ! The 85mm lens with a wide aperture of f1.2 allows for some really creative options and I probably shot half the wedding on this one but the results are astonishing. From the very beginning these are some of the best bridal preparation shots I have taken.



As I arrived at the beautiful St Peters Church the guests were outside basking in the sun ready for a lovely ceremony. They were not disappointed with the arrival of the bride in majestic style. Afterwards we headed outdoors for many heartfelt congratulations. With the reception venue closely I suggested the newlyweds should have a few shots on Marlow bridge so duly stopped the traffic!! I managed to squeeze of a dozen shots and we jumped out of the way. Its was then onwards to the Monks Barn in Hurley. It's a beautiful grade II listed medieval barn that’s perfect for a wedding reception. With the feel of a summer garden party the reception was superb. All the men were wearing an assortment of hats to add some alternative flavour for the day. Liz and Rick had worked incredibly hard to decorate the inside in dramatic fashion with some unbelievable banners. The day progressed with great speeches, wine and song and I departed just as things were getting quite lively!
