Colin and Graham’s Wedding
Yesterday I had the honour of documenting the wedding of Colin and Graham. They have been together for 39 years and finally tied the knot at the Guildhall in Hull. They wanted a relaxed and informal day and our photography brief was to capture the day as naturally as possible. We did however, manage to grab a few minutes with them before the ceremony to capture a small number of formal portraits. The couple were escorted down the aisle by sisters Barbara and Sheila whilst the congregation of family and close friends looked on. The boys friend Emma gave a heartfelt reading before Colin and Graham read out their personal vows to each other. Best woman Tish delivered the rings, and after the exchange the happy couple signed the register, before heading outside for the walk to Humber Street Gallery where they held their reception. Galloping along the pavement with two cameras whilst avoiding startled pedestrians proved to be a bit of a challenge for David and I, but it was worth the effort as we manage to capture some lovely candid images of the couple and their guests. Passers by offered their congratulations before everyone headed into the gallery for a celebratory drink. This assignment was a little different from our usual weddings in as much as we pretty much documented things as they happened. However, it was a huge amount of fun and we had lots of laughs with Colin and Graham. We wish them lots of love and happiness in their future life together and look forward to sharing the rest of their wedding photographs with them soon.
