Julie and Gavin had warned us that we might not be allowed to take many photographs during the service in St Anne''s Church in Sale, Cheshire. This would have been a great pity as the ceremony is obviously such an important part of a wedding and therefore really should be photographed.
Part of the problem I feel is inconsiderate photographers who either use flash (absolutely not necessary) or move around during the service which is extremely distracting (not necessary for us as there are two of us of course). Unfortunately, behaviour like this cvauses problems for other couples and photographers.
As it happened though, after a chat with the lovely vicar, we were told we could do what we liked. Of course, we just carried on in our own quiet, unobtrusive way and managed to get some beautiful shots of the ceremony without causing ANY disruption.
The reception was at Statham Lodge in Lymm. We love this hotel as it has great locations for photography and especially the extensive gardens and gorgeous gazebo.
Here are a few of the hundreds of photographs taken on this lovely day.
