One of my favourite poems is Wordsworth's Daffodils and whilst photographing the lovely Anna & Alan's wedding in Clapham and then a reception at Hampton Court on March 31st, I was lucky enough to be greeted by such a sight. I'm sure in years to come Anna & Alan will reguarly revisit Hampton Court, see those daffodils, remember their wedding day and in Wordsworth words:
"And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils".
Their wedding was a lovely relaxed day with beautiful spring sunshine, which bride and groom and guests alike made full use of. After a personal and emotional church service the couple relaxed with their guests on the church steps for a mini reception before a London Red Bus gathered up the guests and took them to Hampton Court.
The Garden Room at Hampton Court housed the reception with its own private secluded garden where everyone could play croquet and connect four amongst others and then just a short walk revealed the main gardens awash with Spring blossom and daffodils.
Anna has some finishing touches applied
Anna looks radiant through her veil
Alan looks very dapper in top hat and tails
Arriving at the church and just catching the perfect light
Alan doesn't look too nervous as his bride waits outside
Deep in thought during one of the readings
I do
Theres something so nice about a just married couples first steps into the light together
The veil gets carried away in the wind
Me?
A romantic stroll through the daffodils
I really like the landscape composition here
Anna looks just lovely in this shot
One of my favourite shots with the lens flare, family group and Hampton Court
Very personal detail shot, handwritten, I really like that.
First dance and what a dance, must have practiced for months
Graceful couple and sweeping natural light, beautiful.
The happy couple outside Hampton Court, good of them to raise the flag!
One final thing, throwing the bouquet...Source URL: https://lifestyleartsblogs.blogspot.com/2007/04/host-of-golden-daffodils.html
