Emma & Gavin's Marquee Wedding, Scawby, Nth Lincs

As a Yorkshire Wedding Photographer, I yesterday had the pleasure of spending the day with Emma & Gavin as they enjoyed a gorgeous marquee wedding in Scawby, North Lincolnshire. Now just to clarify for all the 'Yellow Bellies' who may be reading this, Yes I did have my passport stamped as I crossed the Humber Bridge!

I joined the boys at White Hoe Farm to photograph their preps and met a really friendly, down to earth set of Groomsmen. Our groom, Gavin, was in fine form and had been up at 6am setting up some 'surprises' he had in store for later in the day. The North Lincolnshire farm country made a great backdrop for some punchy shots of the boys and the wheat hadn't been cut so I was very happy!

Leaving the boys behind to go for a blast in an Aston Martin sports car (Emma, our bride had arranged this as a surprise for her hubby who is totally car mad) I made my way to the bride's house to photograph her preps. Emma was very relaxed as her hair and make up was finished and once in her dress we had a great time photographing all the girls. A horse and cart arrived to take the girls to the church.

After a lovely ceremony and group shots at the church, it was back to Bride's family home for a delightful reception in a marquee. The speeches came after the meal and were very emotional! Emma's parents have both had health scares over the past year in the run up to the wedding and wanted only the best for their daughter and son-in-law! To show their gratitude for all their parent's help, Emma and Gavin surprised Sally and Paul with a vintage 1970's motorcycle (to add to Pete's other 9!) and the most gorgeous Cocker Spaniel puppy for Mum! Dave, the best Man, was a legend (as were all the groomsmen) His facial expressions made me smile every time I pointed my lens at him and his face was most definitely 'elastic'

I left the happy couple at 9pm with the dance floor full and pumping. I'll see Emma and Gavin in about 4 weeks when they get back from their 3 week Safari in Zanzibar.
