Preview wedding photography for Elisha and Matthew

Here is the preview wedding photography for Elisha and Matthew who were married yesterday at the Civic Centre in Scunthorpe. The weather was a bit of a challenge throughout the day, with heavy rain showers. Elisha looked amazing in her dress from Wed to Be, in Rotherham, Her look was completed by her button bouquet which was made by her mum, Katrina. After our usual start at the brides house, we headed of to meet Matthew and the groomsmen at the Civic Centre to capture some photographs of them, before they headed inside to meet the registrar. We had just about finished when the rain started and we all made a dash for the Civic Centre. The rain continued but the bridesmaids came prepared and were great sports posing with their brollies! The bride arrived soon after, and the rain had stopped so we were able to capture some shots of her and her dad and the bridesmaids before the ceremony began. The registrar delivered a lovely service, and once the register was signed, guests headed outside and we were able to capture the all important family groups. We were just finishing off the brides family group when without warning, the heavens literally opened!  If you look at the group photographs you will see one with a misty cast over the left hand side; thats the rain blowing in! Despite the deluge, the assembled groups stayed put, and smiled bravely whilst we grabbed a quick photo and then everyone made a dash for cover under the nearest tree. Undeterred, family and friends stayed, and delivered the traditional confetti despite the rain! We all took cover once again in the Civic Centre and waited a little while for the rain to subside. We were lucky and during a brief respite we were able to capture Elisha and Matthews couple portraits. Guests headed off to Cafe INDIEdepent for their celebratory drinks and Elisha and Matthew joined them a little later and the party began. We had a lovely day with Elisha and Matthew and their family and friends. I must give a special mention to the little bridesmaid Emily,, who was just lovely to work with (as were the others) and became my new best friend! Her dad Lee performed his duties as batsman in an exemplary manner, and was a great help to us, rounding up the necessary people at the right time!  We had a great day photographing this wedding and we wish Elisha and Matthew every happiness in their future life together.
