Geoffrey & Anna

The Wedding of Geoffrey and Anna
Saturday 18th May
at at St Marys Church Stowmarket

Way back in May I attended Geoffrey and Anna's Wedding, I Arrived at Anna's  parents house on Saturday morning to photograph her preparations, it was a full house lots going on,lots of children and plenty of subject  to take photos of.   

    

      three photos above taken by K,Pedell

 The weather was overcast so there was a possibility of rain but we were very lucky all day and the rain held off, no sun and rather chilly but no rain either, which is a good thing at a wedding because nobody really  wants to be standing around in the rain to have their photo taken

.we had plenty of time to get some photographs of the bride and bridesmaids once they were all dressed up

At 2.00pm after a couple of photos of the bride leaving the house with her dad we went off ahead of her to get to the church to get some quick photos of Geoffrey and his best man and the guests arriving before the ceremony, hoping all was going to go ok because we had heard that the reverent couldn't get the church door open, unbeknown to the bride, but all was fine and went to plan, the bride arrived, the door was unlocked and the ceremony began.

Half of the parties group photos were taken at the church and the rest it was decided were to be taken at
Ringshall village hall where the reception was to be held  because the the church was on a hill and the ground very uneven

The reception was held  five miles up the road , we followed the bride and groom and stopped off up a secluded track near to an airfield as arranged to get some nice photos of the newly weds together in the beautiful yellow oilseed rape fields  which are a familiar sight in the Suffolk countryside at that time of year, overcast skies helped to create a dramatic setting for the couple

After a break at reception we finished the group photos on the green outside and came in to capture some of the speeches and cake cutting
