18 September I found myself in rural Hertfordshire for the wedding of a lovely young couple, Gemma and James. The ceremony took place in the village church a five minute walk (via a narrow country lane) from the home of the Brides' parents. The Bride & Groom planned to walk back from the church (weather permitting) to the house where the reception was to take place. A good opportunity to get some great pictures I thought. So it was just a case of keeping an eye on the weather forecast in the run up to the wedding... the forecast was for rain.
Time to get out my lucky umbrellas. Why lucky? because I've never had to use them. The forecast for the day of my first wedding was 'good chance of rain'. Ever the paranoid boy scout I went out and bought a pair of white golf umbrellas. Suffice to say the weather was glorious and if anything they should have been used as parasols to keep the overhead sun off the perspiring Bride & Groom..
Despite rain being forecast for many of the weddings that I've done since it has yet to happen... So yes my lucky umbrellas worked their magic for Gemma and James and I did manage to get one or two nice shots on that narrow country lane including this one where one of the bridesmaids decides that 'her shoes weren't made for walking'.
