Georgia & Sam, A Sneak Peek

Last week we showed you what happens when you catch the bouquet in the most epic bouquet toss ever. We also teased you with an image from Georgia & Sam’s wedding. Now it’s time for their sneak peek!302-GSB-MLP21236-414It’s always lovely to book weddings through recommendation & lovely to know how our happy Brides & Grooms have told their friends & families about us. We photographed Georgia’s sister Charlotte’s wedding to Alex two years ago & before that had photographed Alex sister’s wedding. Kiti & I arrived in Weybridge in plenty of time for the wedding & recce’d the locations so we knew where we were going. You so often hear about wedding cars getting lost & cakes going missing. We always make sure that routes have been timed & we have an idea of where we are going in case the faithful satnav breaks down! I then dropped Kiti off with Sam & the boys to capture them getting ready. She got there just as they were having the obligatory full English before they were suited & booted….& some graffiti on the bottom of Sam’s shoes.003-GSB-MLP20021-4 026-GSB-MLP20139-41 037-GSB-MLP20204-54 059-GSB-MLP20362-89I then joined Georgia & her bridesmaids at her parent’s home. I captured some lovely shots of the Georgia & girls getting ready. After getting ready upstairs Georgia made her way downstairs where her bridesmaids & Mum & Dad were waiting expectantly for her. I love the moment where everyone sees the Bride for the first time & Georgia certainly brought a tear to their eyes.078-GSB-MLP38654-116 086-GSB-MLP38671-124 090-GSB-MLP38694-128 094-GSB-MLP38740-133 098-GSB-MLP38778-145 104-GSB-MLP38801-152 108-GSB-MLP38810-157 110-GSB-MLP38821-159 111-GSB-MLP38824-160 115-GSB-MLP38850-166After making the short journey to the church it was time for Georgia’s Dad to accompany her down the aisle to meet her groom.139-GSB-MLP38945-197

It was then time for a group shots before & the guests got their opportunity to cover the bride & groom with confetti.216-GSB-MLP39178-291224-GSB-MLP39229-299227-GSB-MLP39246-302229-GSB-MLP39259-304213-GSB-MLP20755-288The Bride & Groom were then whisked off to the Burhill Golf Club with Kiti & I in hot pursuit!235-GSB-MLP39283-312 240-GSB-MLP20814-321Georgia had surprised Sam with a steel band & I love the moment I captured where he first heard them as they were walking to the marquee.244-GSB-MLP39325-326 246-GSB-MLP39331-330 248-GSB-MLP20845-332As the guests were mingling in the sunshine Kiti & I took the bridal party away to do some cool group shots. I love the large scale balloons that the girls had & they really added to the atmosphere of the shots.273-GSB-MLP20920-367 276-GSB-MLP39514-373 280-GSB-MLP21017-378After groups the guys went back to the party & we did some more shots with the happy couple. They were really great & looked fantastic, we’re really thrilled with the images we took of them around the golf course.291-GSB-MLP21122-394 295-GSB-MLP21140-401 297-GSB-MLP21149-404 302-GSB-MLP21236-414After not too long it was time for the wedding breakfast so we took Georgia & Sam back to join their guests.306-GSB-MLP21266-421 315-GSB-MLP21300-431 322-GSB-MLP21347-440 332-GSB-MLP21381-451There were some great speeches & much laughter & tears.

Georgia & Sam hit the dance floor & there was hardly a dry eye in the house. This was certainly true once she’d also danced with her Dad & her lovely Grandad!432-GSB-MLP30088-588 441-GSB-MLP30123-597 445-GSB-MLP21707-602 455-GSB-MLP30167-613Now, when you’ve been part of the most epic bouquet toss its your duty to then pass the baton on so to speak. Georgia threw the bouquet & after a bit of a tussle & some spilled champagne her bridesmaid, Caroline, caught the bouquet. Could we be looking at a happy Mark Lord Photography Bride & Groom of the future?!

We hope you enjoy your sneak peek Georgia & Sam, wishing you every happiness!

Charlotte & Alex – A Sneak Peek!

Recently I was thrilled to be asked to photograph Alex & Charlotte’s wedding in Weybridge, Surrey. To me the best testimonial of my work is to be recommended by my brides & grooms to their friends & families. About 4 or so years ago I photographed Alex’s sister’s wedding & I must have impressed to be asked again!

Alex & Charlotte’s day dawned bright & clear but the forecasted weather did make an appearance as Charlotte travelled to the church. Part of my skill as a photographer is to use the weather conditions to add something to the photographs rather than detract. As an example one of my favourite shots of the day is the bride photographed through the raindrops on the car window.

273-CAP-ML-2739-205One of the joys of being a wedding photographer is the variation whether it is wedding to wedding or the moments you capture on the day. From the nervous reflection of the bride & groom before the wedding, the excited smiles of the bridesmaids to the laughter of the speeches & the fun of the dance floor. I am used to the traditional disco or band but Alex & Charlotte also had, due to Alex’s Greek heritage, traditional Greek dancing accompanied by Alex’s grandfather Bambos playing a bouzouki which is a traditional long necked stringed instrument a little like a mandolin. The moves on the dance floor were certainly very impressive & I was pleased with the images I captured.

The day also included one of the best bouquet tosses I’ve ever seen. It was so impressive it’s going to have its own blog post – keep your eyes peeled!
