I photographed Karl & Michelle earlier this year for the e-session at Castle Combe race circuit, where they first met. Well, in July it was their wedding day at the Four Pillars Hotel in Oxford. Michelle was the picture of calm when I arrived, everything was organised and she was hours ahead of schedule. Karl, I believe, was quite the opposite and was nervously excited for the whole day.
It’s all about the shoes, and what better than a stunning pair of Jimmy Choo’s, I could tell Michelle was in love with them by the way she got excited when talking about them.
As both of them are somewhat of motorheads, they chose a trio of classic Morris Minors for the bridal cars, all in immaculate condition and beautiful to look at, they were so good I had to include them in the group shots as well…
Throughout the day it was clear that the couple were so in love with each other, often catching a quick glance at each other, followed by a coy smile. It was a pleasure to be part of their day.
I love shooting a wedding when the couple value the photography so much, and Karl & Michelle were more than happy to pose for countless images throughout the day, a few of which are above. They were great sports and huge fun to work with, I spent more time laughing and joking with them I’m surprised that all the shots didn’t have them laughing.
I also had my good friend and superb photographer James Burns shooting with me, he captured a great selection of candid and documentary images. He also does a good line in camping it up to help with the laughter and makes a good portable lighting stand when required.

Finally, just before we left the band started up, playing the song for the first dance and carrying on into the night. We could hear them still going as we left at the end of the night.
Thanks guys for being such a wonderful and fun couple, I wish you both all the best for your future married life.
