Traditional, Elopement and Registry Wedding Photographer in Buckinghamshire

As is usual for any Buckinghamshire Wedding Photograher, my day started off quite early as the bridal party was getting married in separate locations. With prior planning the couple and I made it work. The light at Botleys Mansion was superb both for getting ready and for the ceremony. It was clear to see the joy and happiness of the over 250 guests in attendance. It was an unplugged ceremony which meant all eyes were on Karen and Trevor which made for a wonderful day.

The sound of quiet voices flow and ebb through the open entrance door down the long hall of Parkfords Hotel. Guests greet each other enthusastically not with hugs but with elbows bumps. They giggle at trying to refrain from stepping into each other's metre space. Bridesmaids and staff scurry by quickly with bags and wedding accessories. Fionn checks his watch periodically in anticpation whilst guests chat about the good fortune of the couple to be able to exchange vows before the country once again goes into lockdown for the christmas period. These are indicators of the begining to another of the hotel's covid weddings.

Little ones aware that something exciting was happening, quietly sat observing the activities of semi dressed bridesmaids fussing over hair and attire. Wedding bouquets immersed in containers of water dotted the room where Jade sat. She submissively raised her glowing face to her makeup artist who attentively added lashes and makeup for dramatic and voluminous effect. Jade simply looked radiant. Nearby in another part of London Tim was getting ready. News filters in as the morning progresses with regular updateson the preparations of the groom and groomsmen.

Early afternoon quickly came, the bridal party positioned themselves at the door and step in time to the music to their position at the front of the pew. Walking down the aisle scattering rose petals was the bashful flower girl aided by maid of honor. These fluttered to the ground to join a path already covered in rose petals ready for the approaching bride whose smile beamed radiantly as her eyes beheld her future husband at the altar.

There was hardly any room for those present as all seats were taken. For latecomers, it was standing room only. The voices of the singers filled the packed room lifting the hearts of those present to celebrate the love of Peter and Benhilda. As they committed their lives to each other, they did so knowing with utter confidence that their marriage would have at the centre of it, God. There are no words to express the joy eminating from the many souls gathered to witness the couple becoming one.
