Joanne & Graham - The Village Hotel, Hull

When I woke up this morning and saw the weather, I knew Joanne and Graham's wedding was going to be great. The sun was shining, a light breeze in the air and a smattering of cloud - all the elements in the right place for a truly magical day.

If I was to describe Graham and Joanne as 2 of the calmest, most mellow people I have had the pleasure of meeting - that would be a massive understatement! This couple could have had a meteorite land on the car park and they wouldn't have batted an eye lid!

I started my day with Graham and his best man in the Lobby of the Village Hotel in Hull for a quick drink and then on to get ready. Had a laugh and a giggle with the boys and then left them behind to drive on to see my bride, Jo. I really didn't know what to expect when I arrived at their house, but when I stepped inside the newly completed 'overhauled' house, I got very excited. Tonnes of natural light, white walls and really contemporary lines - could easily be on 'Grand Designs'!

The girls took their time getting ready and it was great to meet Jo's friends and family. I could have quite easily have been responsible for making Jo late for her wedding as I just wanted to shoot and shoot at their house, I kept finding and seeing tonnes of new shots but I had to restrain as the wrath of a registrar should not be invoked in the East Riding Area!

A lovely, emotional ceremony was followed by a 'Penny Drop' session down by the Humber Bridge Foreshore and then back to the hotel for dinner and speeches.

I met some great people at this wedding today and bumped into some old friends aswell (Ray, June, Louise, Big John and David) it really was a pleasure to spend the day with Graham, Joanne and all their friends/family and I wish them all the best for their honeymoon and their future together. I'll have a cracking photographic story to share with them on their return from their Carribean Honeymoon.
