Ruth & Steve | Wedding | Moat House, Acton Trussell

You may remember Ruth & Steve from their fun pre wedding shoot on the river ... both are very keen canoeists, in fact they both compete ... they are also mad snow boarders and a favourite destination of theirs is in Canada ... where Steve proposed a year ago.

A while back, they set up in business together selling custom canoes, you can view their stuff at www.hydraasports.co.uk.

So, yesterday found us at their wedding, a beautiful affair at the Moat House, one of Stafford's gems. I got the following text this evening from Ruth:

Hi Gill, jut wanted to say thanks for everything yesterday, I loved having the photos taken and as you probably realised I usually hide from cameras ...

So, without further ado ... some favourites from the day ... oh, I was ably assisted by Matt, who borrowed by lensbaby 2.0 for the day (jealous !) ...

I reckon nerves and heat had something to do with the fact that Steve struggled to fit Ruth's ring on her hand ... that took some pushing and shoving ! LOL

The lensbaby effect !

Fun speeches ...

Lensbaby cake cutting ...

Thanks for having me ... and feeding me like a guest ! Totally appreciated that and man, that chicken was to die for ! Have a great honeymoon and see you both soon ! Gill x


For the photographers ... the majority of photos were taken on Canon 5D with 70-200, 50 1.2 and 16-35. And of course a lensbaby. The BW's were processed using Jeff Ascough's new Silver Actions, either the 400 film or 800 film, depending on what look I wanted.

Lensbaby fun fun fun !

I bought a lensbaby 2.0 a couple of years ago and, after an initial play (as you do), I never really got around to using it. It has been gathering dust in my lens cupboard for a long time ... however, my friend Matt came down to shoot with me this weekend and mentioned that he would LOVE to try one ... so I whipped it out !

Looking through yesterday's images I came across a couple of me that Matt had taken while I was shooting, so I thought you wouldn't mind me sharing them, well, they made me laugh LOL

More from the wedding coming soon ... in the meantime, enjoy :)
