Wedding photography - Clearwell Castle

Michael and Adele - St Peter's Church / Clearwell Castle - 12th August 2010


Can you guess where this wedding was?  Yep, Clearwell Castle.  OK, so that's Clearwell Church in the pic too, but you know what - they had their wedding ceremony there so that's a big tick in my book - two in one!


"So what do you think to the curls I've done you at the back - are they ok?"




As both the Bride and Groom got ready at Clearwell Castle, it gave me the opportunity to nip next door and catch up with the boys.



Boys will be boys!



Ta na, a quick transformation later and Adele was kitted out in a super duper wedding dress.





Inside St Peter's Church at Clearwell.  This is one pretty dark church.  It's safe to say high ISO, slow shutter speeds & fast primes were order of the day.  (That's for the camera geeks who read my blog).





I got the impression Adele had been waiting a while for this moment, Mike wasn't exactly quick to propose.  


As Adele is Deputy Head, she had the school kids come along to the wedding and sing.  It's amazing what a few sweets and some bribery can get you -even in school summer holidays.







A pleasant stroll back to the Castle, although I'll bet Granny (in the middle) didn't think quite so much of the walk.


Back inside for the wedding drinks reception and a spot more singing from the kids.  




* ching *






I caught this little lady not singing (no sweets for her Adele).  Let me tell you, she wasn't the only one though, I saw several adults in the Church rather tight lipped during the hymns! (shame on you).


Cool little wedding detail hey?








And to wrap up we have the beautiful couple entering for their wedding breakfast.  Note: Michael is keeping a good distance between them - yes, this is a very common time for the groom to stand on the dress!
