Olivia & Sam

I love weddings with a mix of cultures and countries.  They inevitably have a few different opportunities throughout the day.

Olivia got ready at the St. Pierre Park Hotel.  All seemed relaxed and well organised.

 I spotted this possible composition early on,  fortunately I was able to capture this fleeting moment of Olivia and her bridesmaids before the scene was lost.

 The bride really did look amazing.

 Sam got ready at home,  a bit of debate about how to do the ties, a quick beer then it was onward to St. James for the ceremony.

 A lot of effort had gone into preparing the hall.

Yes, really it did happen, the groomsmen forgot the rings at home!  But after a run back on such a hot day, the rings arrived just seconds before the bride!

 Jayne White conducted a beautiful ceremony.

 We visited Candie Gardens for some pictures.  Harsh contrasty light can be difficult to deal with, but then it is also fun to play light and shade off each other.

 The couple met working on a ship, so another stop at the harbour was apt, then we went to the Auberge at Jerbourg for the reception.

 Dancing commenced in a totally different way and things got pretty wild for a time as everyone had great fun.

 Heavy rain also gave us the chance to pop outside to create a few pictures as night fell.

 There was a lot of smoke around as the groomsmen enjoyed a cigar late on.

Quite a special day, lots more went on but this is all I am sharing on this preview.
