I was chatting with a bride-to-be last night who met her husband-to-be at University in Durham, and I told her all about Nicola and Jon and their wedding in Durham ... so I thought I would share it with those of you who may have missed it recently!
They decided to get married at the church where Nicola's Mum and Dad were married in Lanchester, County Durham and have their reception at Van Mildert College in Durham where they had met each other while at University .... aahhhh.
I met with Nicola and her parents and grandparents as they prepared for the day at home in Hartlepool before travelling through to Lanchester on the west side of Durham, where she met up with her smaller bridesmaids and other family members.
In the meantime I dashed across to the church, All Saints Catholic Church to catch up with jonathan and his parents and family who were putting final touches to their outfits and in the church, before a dash back to Nicola's Aunt's home to see her leave under leaden skies and persistant rain!
Umbrella's were then the order of the day!
The ceremony was beautiful - Nicola cried (as you can see from my photograph!), and afterwards we went across the road to her grandmother's house to say 'Hello!" as she was not well enough to come to the service, afterwards Jonathan walked to the graveside of Nicola's grandfather and placed a bouquet upon it as a mark of respect, a poignant part of the day.
On our way back into Durham we stopped for 5 minutes for Nic and Jon to have some photographs taken at Prebends Bridge which was a special place to them, and it featured in my pre-wedding portrait photography session too.
It's never easy to get a clean shot of the bridge without tourists or students on, but with a little bit of persuasion and 'coaxing' and a touch of luck, I managed to get some lovely images of them on the bridge and walking (very gingerly on the wet coblestones) down to the bridge too.
The photograph I took of them coming down the hill with the Chinese student peddling away is the front page photograph in their album!
The reception at Van Mildert College was lovely, and the speeches were full of laughs and tears, and one the formalities and the lovely wedding breakfast was out of the way, it was time for a few informal groups - as you can see above.
There wasn't a dry eye in the house, when after the first dance, Nic took the microphone and pledged her undying love for Jon!
I hope you enjoy a sneak peek of their 450+ final edited images telling the story of their day .....
