Elena and Matt’s wedding took place at St. Nicholas Church in Hatherop, Gloucestershire and Elkstone Manor, near Cirencester in Gloucestershire. It was a day of extremes with bright sunshine one second and the heaviest rain you’ve ever seen the next, regardless of either though I’m pretty sure the smiles did not leave either Matt or Elena’s faces the whole day.
I started the day at Elkstone Manor with Elena, her parents and her wonderful bridesmaids all getting ready together. It was a relaxed and pretty calm start to the day. I then went on ahead to where Matt was greeting everyone at the church in Hatherop. After the ceremony they came out to sunshine and within seconds of the confetti being thrown the sky opened and the rain came down, hard, I’ve never seen so many people move so fast :D
The highlight of this wedding for me though was the first dance, which was hands down the best first dance I’ve ever seen. It started to Bryan Adams, where Elena and Matt could barely hold back the grins as they knew what was about to happen, Bryan stops, they look confused, then Footloose comes on and they break into amazingly perfect synchronised dancing which even the bridesmaid and groomsmen joined in on part way through. It was awesome :) Here are a few of my favourites from the day:
