Lise & Jon's Wedding

I hope you will all understand, when I say this was the "Wedding of the Year" ! My daughter Lise married Jon at the Central Methodist Church in Chippenham. Of course the big decision was - could I be official wedding photographer and father of the bride ? Could I trust another photographer with capturing those most important, and never to be repeated images of my beautiful daughter on her wedding day ?  Not a chance !  So I rushed from Hairdressing salon to the house where the boys were getting ready and back to the girls. Then back to the house where Lise and her bridesmaids were getting ready. Pictures done, I had five minutes to get my suit on, before we set off for the church. I had to pass the camera over to my son Simon to record our arrival at the church. He has a safe pair of hands, and did a stirling job, and added greatly to recording this amazing day. I think it caused some amusement when, after I'd done my job of giving daughter away, I whipped the camera out to shoot some available light shots of the wedding ceremony. Many thanks to minister Dale for being so relaxed about that. Ok, off to the awesome Grittleton House where the sun shone and everyone enjoyed the beautiful gardens while we shot our group pictures. Ann and I know this lovely venue so well, and we were able to shoot some wonderful images in the grounds and inside on the staircase. After the wedding breakfast and the speeches, the evening party  got started. Great picture opportunities ! When the last guest finally left, we all agreed it had been such an amazing day. I was sure I captured some fantastic pictures. Did I pull it off ? Father of the Bride, and photographer ?  Still not sure ! but I did my best.
