The Wedding of Karen and John- The Bedford Swan Hotel- Sneak Peek Storyboard!

On Saturday I had the pleasure of shooting Karen and John’s wedding at the Bedford Swan Hotel. It was my first wedding of 2014, I couldn’t wait to get started and the weather was nothing like what we have seen of late, the sun was shining and it felt more like Spring than Winter which was great as the Bedford Swan is right on the Embankment so I was sure we would be shooting outside later on in the day.

Karen and John are such a lovely couple and when I met up with them last year they said they wanted their wedding to be all about sharing the day with their family, friends and of course their three beautiful children. As a couple they are really laid back and just so much fun to be around. As you can see from the couple shots below we did a lot of laughing during the shoot.

I love the wedding ceremony room at The Bedford Swan Hotel, light pours in through the windows and bounces/shines off the mirrors and wood panelling which creates great shooting conditions and fills the room with warmth. The ceremony was beautiful with Karen and John’s children once again playing their part. Melissa did a great reading and Oscar was the ring bearer. There were a few tears throughout as Karen and John read their vows and just as many smiles as they exchanged rings before walking back down the aisle as husband and wife.

The sun was still out so we did all the bride, groom and group shots outside which is a definite bonus this time of year. It was great shooting down the embankment with seagulls flying overhead and the bridge provided a great backdrop as well as some areas around the hotel itself.

During dinner we had more great shooting opportunities as Steve Dela provided magic for each of the tables. I always love shooting the reactions of the guests to magic tricks and Steve sure pulled out some great ones as you will see by the shots below.

After the speeches we even got the chance to do some night shots outside the hotel. Thanks Karen and John for braving the cold, I think your agree it was worth it 🙂

Huge congratulations to Karen and John on a great wedding day. Thanks so much for asking me to capture it all for you. I hope you have a great time in Morocco and I look forward to showing you the full collection when you return but for now heres your sneak peek storyboard!
