Another beautiful day on Saturday for Lizzie and Richard’s wedding up in North Norfolk. The ceremony was held at the beautiful St Margaret’s Church in Burnham Norton with the wedding breakfast and evening reception at Creake Abbey Studios. First stop, though, was at Lizzie’s godparent’s house in Burnham Norton to get a few pictures of Lizzie and her bridesmaids getting ready. Then it was off to St Margaret’s to meet up with Richard and the groom’s party.

After the ceremony it was off down to Creake Abbey Studios in North Creake where Lizzie and Richard had a marquee for the reception. On the way down from the church the three of us (plus the driver of their vintage Jaguar wedding car) stopped off at the Creake Abbey ruins to get some pictures of Lizzie and Richard on their own. It also gave them the chance to down a bottle of champagne.

Plenty of lawn games were available to keep the kids (and quite a few adults) amused during the day. These always give me the opportunity to get some candid pictures of the wedding guests enjoying themselves.

Lizzie and Richard had come back from Australia for their wedding and they had certainly brought the weather with them! After a few days in the UK they are off back to Oz. It was a lovely day and thank you both for allowing me to photograph your day.

Here are a few of my favourites from the day.

Last Saturday morning, with the sun blazing down, I set off to photograph the wedding of Hannah & Wayne. First stop was at Hannah’s parent’s house to get a few shots of the bride and her bridesmaid’s getting ready then on to South Walsham to meet up with Wayne. Wayne and a number of the guests were wisely taking advantage of the beautiful weather in the Ship Inn just a few yards up the road from St. Mary’s Church, the venue for the ceremony.

Whilst you couldn’t wish for better weather for the wedding, bright sunlight with clear blue skies around midday at the end of May isn’t the easiest of lighting for wedding photography – so shady spots such as the church porch were put to good use to get some softer, more flattering light.

After the ceremony it was off to the Oaklands Hotel for the reception where the Wedding Coordinator, Charlotte Kidd, and the hotel staff had done a wonderful job of getting everything ready.

Here are a few of my favourite’s from the day. A full gallery of Hannah & Waynes photographs can be found here.
