The beautiful location of Eaves Hall near Clitheroe was the venue for the wedding of Laura and Paul. The weather on the run up to the day was very poor but on the day we were blessed with bright sunshine albeit a little on the cold side. On arrival myself and able second photographer Jamie made our way up to the Bridal suite where we were met with the calm of the Bridal preparations. I am not sure who was the most nervous, Laura or the Bridesmaids Katherine and Shannon. Everything was running like clockwork, Mel was busy doing everyone's hair, although I did try and say mine was fine as it is. The flowers from 'The Flower Shop' Clitheroe all arrived on time and looking beautiful so a few shots to capture the proceedings were taken before we left them to get into their dresses. It was now the turn of the gentlemen to get their pictures taken. The boys were in very high spirits and best man Paul and Usher Glynn were not going to give Paul the chance to get nervous.
It was then back up to the Bridal suite to get the last few shots of the Bridal Party before the ceremony. The ceremony was emotional and it was so obvious to all that the vows made meant everything to them. From then on the time just flew past as it always does when you enjoy yourself. The speeches before the meal were excellent and everyone who spoke should be justifiably proud of what was said. It was quite hard to try and capture the shots as I was laughing just as much as everyone else. There were also the moments that had guests reaching for the Hankies.
The evening was started off with the first dance to Wonderful Tonight, which was well rehearsed for the watching friends and family. It was then my time to leave and let them carry on with the fun. We would like to wish Laura and Paul all the very best for the future and it was an honour to be part of your day.
Below is a slideshow of just a few images of the day.
Well here is a little bit about me. I was born in 1969 in Suffolk and was brought up in Suffolk until I left School in 1986. From there I joined the Royal Air Force as an Airframe Engineer. I was based in Norfolk for 16 years where I travelled to many countries with my job. From January 2004 until December 2009, I was posted to Moray in the North of Scotland. This where my love of photography escalated. Starting with landscape and general photography, I was to discover I had a real love of taking pictures of people especially weddings. The interaction with people of all ages was a breath of fresh air to me. This helped me to make the decision to leave the RAF after 22 years, relocate to be with my partner in Blackburn and spend more time on my passion of photography. Now with the support of Janet and many people in the industry I am striving to continually improve and put a smile on all the faces I ever work with. This blog will hopefully become a little insight into my new life and I hope it will be of interest to many people in the future.
Happy Reading.
Paul
