Annaliese & Andrew - St Edwards Church and The Harte & Garter Hotel Windsor 19 November 2011

A gorgeous deep blue sky and golden light engulfed us for this wonderful day with Annaliese and Andrew. Windsor was the setting for this magical day and back to where it all started for me as I covered my first ever wedding here many moons ago! Some brief bridal preparation images before meeting Andrew at the Two Brewers. Its a brilliant, quirky pub by the entrance to the Long Walk and was ideal to capture the storybook of images I had in mind; lots of energy and chatter. Soon we made our way out and began the walk to the church, so lovely to have the time to discover areas of Windsor I have never seen before.
On arrival at the church guests were soon streaming in and I eagerly awaited the bride. It took a while but Anna did come! A glorious entrance and the classic ceremony followed. With some astonishing light available there was  a myriad of visions to capture. The newlyweds exited to a sunburst and hearty congratulations prior to our short hop to the Long Walk ( luckily I caught a ride!). Its dramatic and poignant for private shots but you must be quick due to its location. Onto the reception venue having the most envious location opposite the castle. Beautiful rooms with high ceilings so ideal for candid images and fun with plenty of children. Annaliese and Andrew very kindly sat me with the guests for the wedding breakfast. All the chaps were camera enthusiasts so we sat and talked like a bunch of train spotters! Soon the speeches came with great humour and warmth. As I left the newly installed Xmas tree outside the castle was sparkling back at us...
