“You’ve really managed to capture the essence of the day and we’re reliving each moment through the photos” Emily + Georges
Sunshine for a Wokingham wedding
It’s not everyday that we can say that a bride’s arrival can change the weather but on Emily + George’s wedding day in Wokingham, we can say just that! The day started off with grey clouds and light drizzle but as soon as Emily arrived with her family, arm in arm with her dad, the weather cleared up for pure sunshine.
Emily and Georges live in France but having grown up in Wokingham, Berkshire and with family based in Wokingham, the couple decided to have a church wedding in Wokingham.
The day started off with guests arriving at a pub near the church. Georges and his groomsmen and friends decided to iron out their last minute nerves with a couple of drinks. It was relaxed, chilled and candid. Both family and friends spent time catching up over a drink with hugs and kisses in abundance before heading to the church.
A Wokingham church wedding ceremony
With the arrival of the stunning bride, Emily, the ceremony begun! It was traditional a ceremony that was intimate. There were speeches made by different family members which only made the ceremony feel more personable to the couple.
Once rings were exchanged and kisses were shared, Emily and George walked through the heavy shower of confetti!
Couple time aka wedding portraits in Wokingham gardens
After going through group shots in a military fashion, calling out uncles and aunts for instance, it was lovely photographing candid moments between guests. Lots of warm embraces and kisses in the church fields before we decided to take the couple away from chaos and to the church garden for couple portraits. It was their first real moment together – just them – as husband and wife.
To us, couple portraits mean couple time. It’s a time to fully relax and take in everything that just happened. With so much going on in every corner, it can be hard for the golden couple to catch a breath but that’s why we’re here, carving out 10 to 15 minutes of couple time in a quite place.
Wedding speeches: some beautiful words from loving parents
We headed back to join the wedding guests after couple time at their second venue which happened to be Emily’s parent’s house.
Drinks were flowing and beer caps were off. Everyone gathered round the steps ready to hear speeches made by both the couples parents. There were lots of tears and warm embraces which continued inside the tent where both the groom, Georges and his best man delivered their speech. Georges’ love for Emily was felt in every word spoken to us all.
What a beautiful wedding day, Emily and George. Congratulations!
