Wedding Day for Laurie & Jock

This weekend I had the privilege of covering Laurie and Jock's wedding in sunny Newcastle ! The day started with some preparations at home, complete with Holly, Laurie's cousin, who was chief bridesmaid, and their 2 children, Ella and Jessie, who were also bridesmaids for the day. Everyone looked gorgeous, especially Laurie in her beautiful couture gown :)

The ceremony was held at Newcastle Registry Office, set in a leafy area of Newcastle, one of my favourite civil venues ... Jock's brother (and best man) Mark gave a reading - Wedding Day by Robert Palmer (1945-1997) ... here is an excerpt from that passage ...


The day of your wedding is a time to reflect
On the things you can hope for and the things to expect

You could hope for great riches, huge bundles of cash
But then lose it all in a stock market crash

Expect time of anger the occasional huff
Because no-one annoys you like the one that you love (ain't that the truth
LOL)

But don't look for problems that the future may bring
Just to love and be loved is a wonderful thing

Life's not all plan sailing, not always a ball
But I know you'll be happy because LOVE CONQUERS ALL !


The guys had booked an evening slideshow with me, so I spent an hour processing a few images and pulling that together, so that evening guests who had not been to the wedding could see what had been happening through the day ... of course, it also meant Laurie and Jock could take a peep and be reminded of the day so far :)

Laurie and Jock (and Ella and Jessie) .. thank you so much for letting me capture your day, it was wonderful to be around you guys and I want to wish you all every happiness in your lives together ...

Here are some of my favourites, cherry-picked from the slideshow selection.
