A ROMANTIC MUSIC FILLED CEREMONY {Ray & Liz} //COTSWOLD WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

All year I have had the pleasure to attend dozens of ceremonies in incredible venues, from five star hotels, ancient country churches and stunning barn conversions. Here, I was 3 miles from home in Cirencester's Parish Church. I don't think I've ever really looked at it in detail before.  With two daughters who used to be in the Junior school choir, Christingle concerts, Easter services, March Hair festival services where my daughter did a reading, just one week before, I have been inside a lot! However I had never looked at it with my photographers hat on before. Its not a dark place, but it is expansive in both width and height, with the most incredible stone work.

So here on Saturday 20th September Ray and Liz said their marriage vows. The pictures I hope give you a little snippet of the story. It's more traditional than my usual work as the champagne reception was held inside the church, although happiness and laughter were in abundance. Ray and Liz I think laughed all day long.

Liz got ready at home with her Cousin (her matron of honor)  and Godson (who gave her away) and Marmite, not the black jar with the yellow lid but the cat, who to be honest took one look at me and decided to find some peace elsewhere.

I will set the scene with the bridal party arriving to the sound of a trumpet and a choir, actually numerous choirs, coming together to sing some of the most moving music I have ever heard. All within the walls of this magnificent church! Its was a concert within a ceremony or perhaps a ceremony within a concert!Take a look...
