The Wedding of Sharon and James- The Crazy Bear Stadhampton- Sneak Peek Storyboard!

I had such a good time last Wednesday photographing Sharon and James’s wedding at the Crazy Bear in Stadhampton. If you haven’t been to a crazy bear hotel before then you need to add it to your bucket list as it’s pure luxury, with added quirkiness, every detail has been thought about and you will spot something different each time you go. They have a London double decker bus as their reception…I say no more!

Sharon and James actually live just round the corner from me and are so much fun to be around. I had been looking forward to their wedding from the date they booked me and it was to be a truly international affair with many of their family and friends travelling from Barbados and Nigeria. The guests outfits were full of colour and there were loads of little traditions and moments throughout the day which kept us on our toes and were a joy to capture.

Sharon was probably the most chilled out bride I have ever had, even when things were running late she was cool as a cucumber and took everything in her stride. She looked beautiful in her dress and it was great to watch her walk down the aisle with her very proud father to meet James who was full of smiles as they joined hands and began the ceremony.

There was so much love and joy at this wedding it’s hard to put it into words. Sharon and James literally couldn’t get back down the aisle as so many of their friends and family were hugging and congratulating them.

There was a lovely champagne reception in the gardens as the weather had held nicely for us with sunshine in abundance. Whilst everyone enjoyed drinks and canapés there were a few speeches from family members before everyone headed in for the wedding breakfast.

Now this has to be one of my favourite parts of the day. There was no boring introduction as Sharon and James entered the room, oh no…they danced into the room with their bridal party with everyone clapping and cheering. Sharon and James were really busting some moves! I loved it and got some great shots your see below.

Throughout the meal there were many speeches from family and friends which were all special and it was so nice to hear from so many of the guests and learn about their connections to Sharon and James. So many funny stories and emotional moments and Sharon and James finished them off by doing a joint speech in which you could see just how thankful they were that all their loved ones had joined them on their wedding day.

After dinner there was some time to enjoy the setting sun outside and of course the bouquet toss, which was caught by Sharon’s twin sister! Then it was time to head in for the first dance which was another great part of the day as Sharon danced with her father to start with whilst James danced with his mother then their hands were passed over to dance together. A lovely touch and something I wish happened at all weddings.

With the torches around the venue now lit, Sharon and James got changed into traditional Nigeria outfits and we did a few shots as the sun was going down followed by some dancing photos before we left everyone to party on into the night.

Sharon and James, we had such a great time photographing your wedding and spending time with you both on such a special day in both your lives. Thank you for choosing me as your photographer. Here is your sneak peek storyboard!

Huge thanks also to Leela Wanless for assisting and 2nd shooting on the day. Great job as always!
