Rowley & Nichola - Dec 2008
I'd been looking forward to Rowley & Nichola's wedding for a whlie now, who wouldn't since it was at Sudeley Castle, which is a local venue I'd not worked at before. I'd met Rowley & Nichola on one occasion prior to their wedding, yet despite knowing Rowley worked in the film industry, it wasn't until the day, that I found out he was a stuntman. How cool's that!? Not only was Rowley a stuntman, but it appeared half the wedding guests were too. Body doubles for George Clooney, Daniel Craig, Jude Law, to name but a few, were everywhere. Top Gears 'Stig' was also rumoured to be amongst them - although he didn't drive the wedding car!!
The day was dry, but not particularly bright..... shooting at ISO1600 outside isn't exactly a photographers first choice. That'll be winter weather for you though hey! It was a great day none the less, with the evening atmosphere at Sudeley Castle proving warm & cosy.
With a brief to shoot photojournalism and a request of only one group shot I had the perfect day as a photographer. This meant one thing - lots of photos! So, today I've stepped away from the norm of one slideshow and pushed the boat out to two...how about that Nichola? Perhaps unneccesary, but I was interested to see if I picked my favbourite 100 (ish) for the first slideshow, was I still left with enough images from the total of around 300 to make another. You tell me? With no further a do here's a few photos followed by the two slideshows.

What a great expression when arriving at the church. Funnily enough it wasn't for Rowley though!
....here's Rowley's expression - sweet.
A quick photo from the back at St Peter's Church.
A few quick couple portraits at Sudeley Castle before the drinks reception kicked into full swing.

With a winter wedding light is pretty much against you. None the less I took this photo of Sudeley Castle lit up at night against the dark night sky.
Such a cute first dance.
And the wedding slideshow(s) follow.....

Great shots Matt - I'm sure Rowley and Nichola were very pleased. I think, if I had to choose, I'd go for B...but thats a personal preference of course.
