I had a blast at Chris and Vicky's wedding this weekend. 4 years ago, I photographed a wedding in which Vicky was a bridesmaid and I had so much fun with that group that I ended up going to the afterparty... When Vicky booked me over a year ago, I told her that if she went with me, I'd have to go to the afterparty again and I did. The wedding itself was amazing and original. As the ceremony began in the Japanese garden at Cheekwood, ominous thunder rolled through the sky and it became very dark for this time of day and as the bride and her father approached all of the wedding party and guests hummed the wedding march. After the ceremony, the bride and groom asked to do more photos so we hiked up to the mansion. Minutes after we arrived and grabbed a few shots, the bottom fell out. There was basically no shelter to be found and we were all completely soaked including the bride! I met so many cool and interesting people at this wedding, but not many brides wouldn't have broken down in tears at this point but Vickie stayed positive, knowing that it would be one of those stories that she would never forget from her wedding day. Also, she looked amazing the rest of the evening. It took her just minutes to recover! The newleyweds live in Korea but before going on a trek through Europe on their honeymoon and then back home, they will hold another wedding ceremony for Chris' family and friends in London.
Cheers to the fun loving couple... May it not rain on their next ceremony!
