Anna & Tom, Alnwick Garden 20th August 2010

The Alnwick Garden is a great venue. The Bride and Groom love it, the guests love it, the staff seem to love it and it's great for photography, whatever the weather. Anna & Tom's wedding was a late booking for me but what a privilege to be there.

The sun shone for a good part of Anna & Tom's wedding day and the showers we had didn't interfere with the proceedings.

Tom and his brothers Chris & Pete looked very smart and Anna didn't keep them waiting at the altar for very long.

Isobel the flowergirl looked adorable and was very patient while the final touches were applied...

During the ceremony Anna's smile brightened the whole room and you could see The Smile infecting all the guests one by one.

Andy & Margaret Watchorn's beautiful playing of Northumbrian music was a perfect accompaniment to the proceedings. Many guests were unfamiliar with Northumbrian music but it seemed to go down very well.

You can see how the sun shone during and after the ceremony and the venue makes the most of a day like this.

Anna & Tom escaped from the crowds for a few moments peace and a few photos before returning to the party.

A few random shots from the wedding breakfast and the speeches. Everyone was so happy all day - I hope the evening was as much fun - I suspect it was!

Congratulations Anna & Tom. Enjoy your honeymoon and I'll be in touch in a few weeks.

Best wishes

Andy
