I had the pleasure of photographing Judy and Mike’s wedding at the Ranger’s House, Greenwich on 16 August 2008. I first met Judy through work and was delighted that she and Mike were happy for me to document their special day.
The venue, Ranger’s House Ranger’s House, Greenwich,
is home to the Wernher Collection. Built in 1723, it was the official residence of the Ranger of Greenwich Park. The meridian line passes through its grounds.
The weather forecast was for showers, with sunny spells, but I am pleased to say that the rain held off and we had blue skies for a large part of the day.
Judy and Mike planned their wedding to perfection … with beautiful buttonholes for the guests and wonderful flower displays. They also had music to accompany their celebrations and the flautist was wearing the most wonderful shoes …
Judy arrived in good time, accompanied by her bridesmaid, Liezel, and father George (who had travelled from New Zealand with wife Elaine for the celebrations).
The ceremony was, as always, very emotional and I have to admit that I had a tear in my eye – Judy looked absolutely beautiful and I felt honoured to be both her friend and to be photographing her wedding. Judy and Mike make an exceptionally handsome couple …
Judy and Mike’s family and friends were so easy to photograph with huge smiles and willingness to be bossed around! I have to make a special mention to Judy’s hens – I could have photographed these beautiful girls all day.
The evening reception was held at El Faro in the Docklands http://www.el-faro.co.uk/, a wonderful venue with superb food. We were only sorry that we couldn’t stay longer for the dancing!
Thanks again to Judy and Mike for allowing me to join them for their wonderful celebration and I wish you both all the happiness in the world for your future lives together. I am so looking forward to sharing your photographs with you xxx
