Gemma & James wed in Wiltshire

Gemma & James got married on probably the most memorable date of the year 080808. Gemma was the third of a group of friends whose weddings I photographed this year so I had the pleasure of already knowing lots of people at this wedding and shooting them again. Gemma got ready at her parents cottage before the service and the reception was held in a huge marquee set up in the back garden especially for the day.

James had even gone as far as beautifully re-landscaping the whole garden to accommodate it as well as leaving a lasting thank you to the new in-laws for letting them use it. After a beautiful ceremony in St Mary's in Chilton Foliat, the lovely couple enjoyed a perfect day with family and friends and a party that went until the small hours.

We've done it!

Confetti time...

Thought I'd try a bit of cross processing on this one

Time for speeches

Now lets dance and boy did they dance!

and dance...
