Our weather luck had to run out in the end

It rained from the moment that Jess left The Inn at Woburn for St Mary’s Catholic Church in Woburn Sands to the moment we left the Sculpture Gallery well after the dancing started.

The funny thing is that it didn’t matter at all. Jess and Tom had the most marvellous day celebrating their wedding with friends and family.

For us as full time wedding photographers dealing with poor winter light and wet weather is a challenge that we relish. We hope that when you look at this set of photographs you won’t really notice the weather. Instead you’ll notice the love and happiness of the day.

Of course it helps that Woburn’s Sculpture Gallery has lots of great indoor locations. And we have a full arsenal of super lights that we can make creative pictures with.

In case you were wondering how we did our signature dusk shot in the rain – the answer was lots of umbrellas and a very hardy bride and groom!

Every wedding has its personal touches and little details that make it special. Sometimes couples like to make some of the table decorations or the favours. Nadia and Leigh (Nadia especially) took this to another level. She made her own wedding dress, all the bridesmaids dresses and the wedding cake! And I’ve probably missed a whole lot of things that they made together. Amazing.

Another personal touch was the venue – Bedford School is where Leigh went so the Chapel was a lovely choice. Quite spectacular as a venue for the ceremony. The reception was the Sculpture Gallery at Woburn Abbey, a perennial favourite of ours and one where we are lucky enough to photograph several times each year.

I need to mention the animals! Nadia’s horse, their two dogs and parents’ dogs all made an appearance after the ceremony. They were fun to photograph.

This was a lovely wedding that we thoroughly enjoyed photographing. Their fine art album will be truly spectacular. We hope you enjoy their photographs.

John and Megan were married at St John the Baptist church in Eversholt, close to the Woburn Estate. Their reception was at the Sculpture Gallery at Woburn Abbey. We always love a reception at the Sculpture Gallery! It’s a beautiful venue that gives lots of lovely locations for wedding photographs whatever the weather. John and Megan had a fabulous day for their wedding. We know the Sculpture Gallery grounds very well so we were able to spend time in our favourite locations. Theirs was a beautiful wedding filled with laughter and the occasional tear. Here is a selection of our favourite photographs from the day.
