Leann and Neil's Wedding

We had the huge pleasure of photographing Leann and Neil's wedding on Saturday. It was quite an intimate wedding with just close family and friends attending the ceremony at the lovely Chippenham Registry Office. Neil's two sons looked really smart as did Leann's nieces and nephews who were bridesmaids and groomsmen. Leann looked fantastic, and what a spectacular dress ! She has a naturally happy smile, and didn't stop smiling throughout the whole time we were there. We persuaded Bride and groom to brave the bitter wind and stop off on route to the reception at the local park, and talked the park keeper into opening up the bandstand for us to shoot some more relaxed images. I love taking pictures in that spot, so out with the fish eye lens for a few "arty" shots. Leann and Neil seemed very relaxed about posing together despite the onlookers and biting north wind, but before frostbite set in we headed back to the reception, where we talked the bridesmaids and groomsmen into some last pictures before the wedding breakfast began. What nice people they all were. They made our job very easy. All the guests can view the wedding pictures by visiting www.christopherchard.com and using the password on the cards which they picked up on the day.
