The Moonraker Hotel | Eva & James
March the 4th saw me head to the beautifully unique Moonraker Hotel just outside of Trowbridge, Wiltshire to share Eva and James rather dreamy wedding day...
The sun was shining, the girls where relaxed and the morning passed quickly. Full of chat and preparations. Mornings like these are my favourite, I love bridal prep. It's the part of the day I can be my most creative working with everyone to capture some truely beautiful moments and most importantly all the details that have been planned for so long and so perfectly.
Before we knew it, it was time for the bride to walk down the isle with her dad, who was extremely proud of his eldest daughter. Tears where shed, hugs where exchanged and James and Eva went on to say I do after a beautiful Shakespeare reading.
Everyone who surrounded the happy couple was full of joy and laughter as they greeted the new Mr and Mrs while enjoying a glass of bubbly and sharing some delicious nibbles served by the hardworking staff of the Moonraker.
It was soon time to move into the group photos, there where quite a few to get through! And amazingly (with a little help) we managed to get through them! Adding a bit of fun with the hen and stag parties! Time was short, but we managed to take a few minutes away so the bride and groom could be alone and have some photos together. I'd had my eye on the shed for a while, Eva and James where fearless and embraced my ideas which gave us some fun, yet romantic photographs of them alone together.
Food was eaten (which was delicious by the way!) stories where told, tears where shed and the laughter rolled all the way through the speeches. The sun set, the rain began, the cake was cut and the evening party started! Eva and James hit the dance floor as the new Mr and Mrs as everyone wached them dance to their song. A beautiful moment.
We'd planned something special, and when I saw the flurrying snow out the window I knew this was the perfect moment... Eva and James took my lead and now have a beautiful backlit photograph in the snow. Possibly one of my favourite wedding captures ever!!
To be apart of a day with two people who are so loved is an albsolute pleasure. My laid back style really paid off here and I am ready and raring to go for the rest of this wedding season!
Heres a few of my Favorites, congratulations Mr and Mrs McCloskey! Enjoy... <3
