Sophie and Scott's Wedding at St Mellion International - 11/01/10
Whilst most of the Country on Boxing day were nursing hangovers and Christmas day excess, we were up bright and early to photograph Sophie and Scotts wedding.
Boxing day is an unusual choice of wedding date, and not one we had ever done before but due to family business and military commitments Boxing day it was for this couple!
As always we split up in the morning to photograph both the Bride and Grooms preparation, but this time carrying a secret that neither Sophie or Scott knew. Sophie's parents had arranged an amazing Cinderella style horse drawn carriage for Sophies journey to the church, and as transport for the newly weds back to the reception.
Despite a really heavy shower as Scott arrived at the Church, the weather passed so most of the guests arrived in sun, and more importantly it was dry for Sophie's arrival.
We had the pleasure of working with Andy from Memories on Film (again!) at this wedding, which is always great as we get on very well.
After a really lovely service surrounded by Christmas trees and decorations we headed back to the contemporary St Mellion International Resort for the reception. As always we aim to take the couple for away for a short while to get those special photographs of them, however cue the second heavy down pour of rain! The shower passed but left the ground very wet underfoot, not good for a stunning wedding dress! We opted to take photograph on one of the balconies at the Resort and got some photos of the sun just dipping behind the tree line.
The second surprise of the day was revealed when Sophie had a dance with her father to the secretly prepared video backdrop of old movie clips of them both when she was a child. Very emotional!
Andy from Memories on Film has been working hard after the wedding and has posted a 'Coming Soon' teaser of Sophie and Scott's day, and we'd recommend anyone thinking of hiring a wedding videographer to check it out.
Working on Boxing Day wouldn't be on the top of many peoples list of things to do, but the Couple, their friends and family made it such a special day we were delighted to be working! We wish them all the very best for their future together.
