Chris and Natalie

Chris and Natalie's big day was just LOVELY. Natalie had been following my photography work from the very beginning. Like, waaaay in the beginning when I wasn't even sure if I was going to make photography a career. Even back then she was saying to me that should she ever get married I would be photographing her wedding. 4 or so years later, that's exactly what happened!

Natalie made a gorgeously happy bride
And her groom wasn't too bad on the eye either ;)

Chris is not camera shy. At all. In fact when I was photographing some moments before the ceremony, Chris totally walked into the shot and got himself into some more of the photos ;)

When Natalie arrived, she looked absolutely gorgeous

After they were married, the minister introduced them as Mr and Mrs for the first time. This was their reaction :)

After the ceremony it suddenly began to get very windy and cold so we decided to do their family shots inside the church. When we came back out it was raining hard. The one thing Natalie and Chris dreaded was a rainy wedding day. Thankfully when we reached the place we were going to do their couple and group shots the rain had eased off for a few minutes, only to hit us a few minutes later out of the blue. But Natalie and Chris smiled throughout and made the rain such fun to photograph in.
P.S You wouldn't know it, but when the rain was at its hardest we decided to keep shooting so we ran for cover in a shady bit aka 'The Hole'. It genuinely looked like a dark tiny hole and none of us had any clue whether it would work for photos or protect us from the rain but Chris and Natalie were so willing we went for it. It ended up being so good we were able to throw the umbrella and coats to the ground and shoot away! Massive thanks to bride and groom for going for it :)

The wedding party were great fun and a gorgeous bunch of people!

Chris and Natalie, it was such a pleasure to join you for your big day. Thank you for letting me be a part of your celebration. Good luck for the future ahead xo
