Matt & Joanne at Bagden Hall

So, it’s Friday 13th and only two weddings taking place in the whole of Kirklees according to the registrars! One of them was Joanne and Matt getting hitched at Bagden Hall at Scissett and despite my superstitious reservations, it all went off without a hitch – not even a drop of rain! I did err on the side of caution though and had three camera bodies with me as well as extra batteries, flash cards and I even took a couple of studio heads along in case we had to shoot indoors! However, Matt and Joanne had no reservations whatsoever and in fact Steph, Matt’s sister and bridesmaid, was born on Friday 13th so, it being her birthday, it was extra cakes all round! The cool morning gave way to a fairly mild afternoon and we managed a shoot around the grounds at Bagden and had done most of the bridal party when we realised that David, the usher, wasn’t there and gone into the bar with the other guests not realising he was required for the shots! None of us realised he wasn’t there ’till my numbers didn’t stack up when I was try to get the bridal party to link arms!  Still, it all turned out well in the end.
