Summer now gives way to autumn and we are really enjoying capturing those spectacular colours, which made a gorgeous backdrop for Caroline and Michael's wedding photography at Waterton Park Hotel, where we are recommended photographers. We had an early start with Caroline's preps in Walton Hall, but an early ceremony meant daylight after the wedding breakfast and a chance for the couple to relax, slow things down and enjoy having their photographs taken against the beautiful backdrops this venue has to offer. The weather wasn't on our side in the morning but Michael and his best man were up for a laugh, taking the rain in their stride. In fact, Michael said he didn't care about getting wet because he's used to working outside but we had a feeling Caroline might not be too thrilled to be faced in the ceremony by a soggy groom! Right on cue, the rain stopped just before our bride came outside to walk over the bridge and although we had to contend with it being blustery, this is better than the wet stuff. The couple had put a lot of thought into the details for their wedding, including such lovely bridesmaid's dresses, to Caroline shoes which she had designed herself. She looked amazing in her elegant dress and lace bolero. After the ceremony, and a volley of confetti beside the lake, all the guests got together for the drinks reception on the island and the weather behaved better, allowing everyone to stay outside for the group photos and enjoy this fabulous location, made all the more breathtaking by the autumn colours. We had plenty of daylight after dinner to photograph the new Mr and Mrs Slater together and Michael had this idea about picking Caroline up. There are certain things we never suggest for wedding photos, this being one of them, because it's likely to be met with a retort along the lines of "No chance, he'll drop me!" but we absolutely love the resulting fun images. We also loved featuring the fiery colours in the couple's photographs, and we know Michael's mum loves autumn - the best time of year, she said - so we hope she loves the Walton Hall wedding photographs as much as we do. Congratulations to a wonderful couple and thanks a million for letting us share your special day.
