Nostell Priory wedding photographer: Melissa & Ian

Phewee, what a scorcher! 29ºC is too hot for a wedding in my books but that’s what we had for Melissa and Ian’s wedding today at Nostell Priory. Melissa stayed at Oulton Hall the night before the wedding so that’s where we headed for the prep shots and bridal portraits and we should have had some good shots there of Melissa leaving for church but unfortunately, the hair and make up team overshot things really badly and we ended up leaving to get to the groom at Wragby church without even firing a shot! The make-up girls are often slow and think they have all the time in the world but today’s was in another league and the Melissa had to jump into her dress with only 20minutes to spare and speed off to church! Apart from the make-up fiasco, everything else went swimmingly and Ian and Melissa were married at Wragby church and then down to Nostell Priory for the wedding reception. The rose garden was in superb condition for the drinks and canapes and the guests enjoyed the sun and the beautiful sounds of Alexandra’s electric violin while we did the formals and the shots of the bride and groom. After the wedding breakfast, the summer evening light was awesome and we had a quick stroll down to the lake for a few final shots before the first dance and the big party. A fabulous summer wedding!
