Garry and Emma's winter wedding.

The weeks leading up to the wedding,snow was falling heavily.Just like theirpre wedding shoot. However just in the days before, the temperature was now warming up and rain was forecast. But, as fate had decided it didn't rain. In fact it was nothing less but a beautiful, crisp winters day. I started my day off with the boys..... all 11 of them.

Very dapper.

I then headed over to the hotel where the girls where getting ready. There I met the lovely bridesmaids.

At the hotel there were a few last minute details to take care of so preparation pictures were not wanted. Which is fine, I will always accommodate the bride. This is her day. I am just the story teller.

I loved this picture of Emma getting out of the car.

The ceremony was held at Keighley Shared Church. It's really quite lovely inside. I love the old stained windows they really add something to the atmosphere.

The reception was held at the Ramada Jarvis,Bingley. It has the feel of an old castle and inside the interior is all dark wood.

You might have guessed by now but the theme for the wedding was black and pink. Which was carried out into the dining area. The table decorations had all the sparkle and twinkle of Christmas without being over the top. Crackers and tiny presents as favours. Reindeer's as table names and beautiful winter trees as centre pieces.

When it was time for the speeches, we had all the flavour of rugby boy banter but they were aslo straight from the heart. As Garry stood and told his family and friends, how he loved the lady he now calls wife there wasn't a dry eye in the house. Included me. An expression of love is such a strong and powerful thing.

When dinner was over and the evening reception was beginning to get in swing Garry and Emma wanted some pictures outside. Even though it was dark. I was prepared and more than happy to oblige.

Something about the below image draws me to it. It isn't posed. Not everyone is looking at the camera. But to me it, I see happiness.

Garry always knows how to make Emma laugh.

The first dance..

This post has been way to long already but I want to end with one last image. I love the way it looks so christmassy.

Happy Thursday.
