Liz and Matt's Wedding

Liz and Matt were married at the beautiful village church in Sherston on Saturday. They had chosen probably the best and sunniest days of the year so far, so all their guests were in a great mood. Liz looked amazing and her dress was really special. I don't think she was looking forward to being photographed all day, but I hope Ann and I made the experience less of a scary event. Sherston Church is such a pretty church both inside and out and the vicar,  Eve Pegler even allowed me to unobtrusively take a few pictures from the front of the church, as Liz and Matt made their vows. The reception was at the amazing Abbey House Gardens in Malmesbury. Barbara and Ian, the owners have created the most wonderful garden next to the Abbey. Purely from a photographers point of view, there can't be many places in the south west with better photo opportunities - particularly for a wedding. Everywhere you walk, there is an arch or a tree or a seat  or a water feature which is crying out for a bride and groom. I love it ! Even though Liz and Matt were enjoying being among their family and friends, they still gave us enough of their time to capture some lovely images all around the large gardens. They had arranged for a karaoke rock band to entertain everyone during the evening, and the newly weds were first in the queue for the microphones, and when we finally said our goodbyes, the band were still rockin'
