Elaine & Sam – Olney Wedding

Elaine and Sam were married at the beginning of August at St Mary’s Church in the Northamptonshire village of Bozeat and had their reception at The Carlton Club in Olney. I started the day with Sam and the boys at Sam’s parent’s house. Everyone was incredibly calm and relaxed with plenty of time to enjoy some bucks fizz and a game or two of Super Mario Kart.

Then it was on to meet Elaine in Bozeat. By the power of Skype, Elaine was joined by family members all the way from Texas who were able to be part of Elaine’s day even though they were thousands of miles away. It was the first time I’d photographed someone on a laptop as part of my wedding day coverage!

St Mary’s at Bozeat is a gorgeous little village church. It was a real pleasure to be able to photograph throughout the ceremony and during the signing of the register of marriages.

After the ceremony we were blessed with a little bit of sun on what had so far been a very wet rainy day. Time for some group photos, that all important confetti and of course some portraits.

Then on to the Carlton Club in Olney for the wedding breakfast and evening of partying!

Another first for me at this wedding was being able to photograph the actual proposal! The typewriter with that very piece of paper was what Sam produced for Elaine to read as his proposal of marriage. Only fitting then that the photo of the engagement and wedding rings should be on the typewriter.

Congratulations to Elaine and Sam! It was a great honour to photograph your special day.
