Amy and Glenn's wedding was very much a family affair and it's been lovely getting to know Amy's parents, who are devoted to each other and to their two daughters, during the run up to the big day. We always enjoy being Rogerthorpe Manor wedding photographers and we are recommended by and are regular visitors to this local venue with its beautiful grounds and its friendly and attentive staff. There is a trend for outdoor ceremonies at the moment and Amy, like many spring and summer brides, had her heart set on one and we photographed the setting for this before heading to the courtyard party room where the girls got ready. Sadly, as happens all too often, the weather conspired against her and the decision was taken not to risk it, as it was blowing a gale and threatening rain, and so the ceremony was held in the Lawrence Suite. There were so many special moments at this wedding, including Amy's dad's and the bridesmaids' reactions on seeing Amy in her dress for the first time, and the antics of the groom's party (obviously very shy and retiring types!), and it's an incredible privilege to be able to capture these precious memories for our clients. The ceremony was a joy to share and afterwards we managed just a few minutes outside with the couple and got the big group photo in the can by the skin of our teeth before it tipped it down, forcing us indoors for the family photos, during which the rain stopped and the sun came out! Don't you just love the British weather and the way it gives you the runaround!! Amy looked absolutely beautiful; she never stopped smiling and took everything in her stride, and we packed as much as we could into the time available until the second wedding arrived and it was our cue to disappear and photograph the Lawrence Suite set for dinner. As this was May 4th, there was a nod to it being Star Wars' day on the table place names. With eight speeches in total, there are a lot of speech photos in Amy and Glenn's Rogerthorpe Manor wedding photography collection and it was quite late by the time these were over and we finally managed to sneak away and spend a few precious minutes with the new Mr and Mrs Dawson to capture some romantic bride and groom portraits. Thankfully days are lengthening now and luckily the weather behaved itself. It seemed that no sooner had we started than it was almost first dance time, punctuated by an exploding balloon, followed by Amy's dance with her proud dad, and a surprise Mr & Mrs game. Glenn and Amy, you were fabulous and the appreciation shown to us on the day meant the world to us. Thanks a million for choosing us to photograph your wedding. We wish you a lifetime of happiness together.
