St. Patricks Catholic Church in Leicester was the venue for the wedding of Adam & Jess on Saturday April 12th 2008. The rain that threatened to fall as forecast held off and the sun shone on a lovely informal, intimate & emotional day. Jess’s father & his family from Spain were at the wedding to add a bit of cosmopolitan flair and the ladies drooled over one of the very handsome young Spanish gentleman guests!

Adam & Jess are a truly wonderful couple and I’d like to take this opportunity to wish them all the best for their future together… a few selected favourites from the day are below.

Sunday 23rd March saw the reception party at Burleigh Court, Loughborough to celebrate the Civil Partnership of Georgina & Gillian. What a cake! And it tasted as good as it looked too, thanks girls ;o)

Saturday March 8th saw me over at the Sir John Moore Foundation in Appleby Magna, Derbyshire for the wedding of Mel & Heather. Earlier on this year the venue had been granted their licence to hold Civil Ceremonies, but the foundation has been used previously for wedding receptions. I consider it an honour to be the photographer to shoot the first civil ceremony at the venue and look forward to working there again in the future.

The day itself was fantastic. About 80 guests for the very informal ceremony with 99% photojournalistic coverage – Mel & Heather requesting just three ‘informal’ formal shots on the day. Below are a handful of images from a great day. All the best for the future to Mel & Heather!
