Aimme and Neal's wedding


 We had the pleasure of photographing Aimee and Neal's Wedding at the fabulous Grittleton House just north of Chippenham on Saturday and guess what ............... it rained all day ! Well most of it anyway .  It certainly diddn't put the dampers on the wedding though. Aimee looked fabulous and what a dress ! With all five bridesmaids in black dresses, we shot some stunning images of all the girls.  Getting  in and out of the stretch limmosine  proved to be  fun ! Neal is a local builder and as a little surprise, some of his work buddies provided a guard of honour after the ceremony using some very shiny shovels. It wasn't too long before they were all leaning on them, and some of the guests commented that it was a much more natural pose ! With the rain still falling outside, It made the decision to take our family pictures inside an easy one. Luckily Grittleton House has some wonderfull picture oportunities inside this beautifull old building so we able to get "arty"..Eveyone at the wedding seemed to be in a party mood which carried on into the evening, and there was some wild dancing still going on when we left late into the night. Any of the guests can see all the best pictues we shot throughout the day  by visiting www.christopherchard.com and using the password on the card.

Stuart and Kayleigh's wedding

I had the pleasure of photographing Stuart and Kayeigh's Wedding at the lovely St. Bartholomew's Church in Wootton Bassett on Saturday. Being Halloween I was half expecting everyone to arrive in Halloween costume ! but no one did ! Having heard the weatherman suggest that  we might get some showers, I was very relieved to be greeted with a lovely day in Wootton Bassett. All three gorgeous bridesmaids shivered a little bit as they waited for Kayliegh to arrive, and their fabulous pink shoes were a talking point among most of the guests. When Kayeigh arrived she looked stunning. She had a smile on her face which lasted all day. Little Oscar didn't quite know what to make of his mummy dressed like that, but after the ceremony, decided to pose for me and everybody. After the family photo's, Stuart and Kayleigh had a walk along to the famous Town Hall on stilts, and although the light was fading fast, we managed to shoot some beautiful and relaxed pictures while every other passing car hooted their horn ! By this time all the guests were settled in the Phoenix club. My first time there. It is a bit like the tardis in that it looks small from the outside but is huge in reality one you get inside. A very nice venue ! Just a word about the cake, which was actually a whole selection of little cakes and looked very enticing.
