Damien and Kerry's wedding - Emley Church to Walton Hall at Waterton Park

Wow what a day! The forecast looked excellent with gin clear blue skies and the promise of some warm sunshine, weather every bride dreams of for their wedding day.

The day started at Kerry's mum's house in Netherton were preparations were well underway, some dress and shoes shots and it was time for the finishing touches to the make up and the opportunity for me to grab some shots of Kerry before she climbed into her wedding dress.

The next stop was the Church of St Michaels in Emley for their wedding ceremony. With a pub nearby it wasn't difficult to guess Damien's location. Dutch courage sorted, we managed some shots outside the church before Kerry arrived with her Bridesmaids and father. Kerry Arrived ten minutes early to allow some time for some photos outside the church before the wedding  - The perfect bride! The rules inside the church were relaxed with the instruction only to ''be discrete'' allowing me the opportunity to photograph the ceremony from the front whilst Lauren covered the images from the rear.

We stopped of enroute to Waterton Park for some photographs of Damien and Kerry and so allowing their guests to leapfrog the wedding party and be at Walton hall ready to greet them on their arrival. Top marks to the car company for their helpfulness and willingness to do whatever we asked of them.

With a lot of the photos already completed the time before the wedding breakfast at Walton Hall was the perfect opportunity for Damien, Kerry and their wedding guests to take in the views, enjoy the sunshine and of course champagne. It was also the ideal opportunity for us to shoot plenty of natural and candid photos.

Shortly after their first dance we headed out on the lawn for some sunset images before we rounded off the evening's photographs with some outdoor shots in the dark just after ten.

Kerry and Damien were up early the next morning to jet off on their honeymoon. Heading somewhere warm and sunny was no doubt perfect motivation for waking up at daft O'clock!
