On Saturday 25th September, I arrived at the lovely St. Andrew's Church in Pudsey to photograph Gemma & Tim's wedding ceremony. I was warmly welcomed by Tim just as their closest friends and family started to gather into the church and awaited Gemma's arrival.

The pianist began playing for the entrance of the bridal party, firstly came the beautiful bridesmaids and flower girls, followed by Gemma and her mum. Gemma looked absolutely wonderful, with a simple and elegant long sleeved dress, and a bouquet of white roses and eucalyptus. Tim's face lit up with a smile when he laid eyes on his soon-to-be wife.

The ceremony was personal and intimate, with the marriage vows and sermon being led by Tim's father, readings carried out by family and friends, and surrounded by their nearest and dearest. As Tim and Gemma exchanged vows and rings, shared their first kiss as husband and wife, and sealed the deal, they left the church hand in hand as Mr and Mrs Bell!

Their wedding breakfast and reception took place at the lovely Chevin Country Park Hotel, Otley, which is such a beautiful venue, overlooking a tranquil pond and woodland surroundings. As the guests enjoyed a glass of fizz and a time to mingle, I made sure to capture relaxed candids, some formal group portraits, and of course plenty of lovely photographs of the happy newly-weds.

It was a lovely day to be a part of - thank you Gemma & Tim for having me and asking me to capture these memories for you. Huge congratulations to the two of you, I hope you're loving your first few weeks as Husband and Wife :)
