London Wedding Photographer: Marvelous Military Wedding (and the weather held!)

We spent an excellent day yesterday with Tariq & Rebecca, celebrating and recording the blessing of their wedding at the Guards Chapel on Birdcage Walk.

We had previously spent a really enjoyable couple of hours with them both in St. James's Park for their pre-wedding shoot and really enjoyed their company, so was very much looking forward to their big day.

Here's just a few of the shots that "jumped out at me" whilst taking an first look through the images from the day this morning.

Sometimes a look says it all.

Am I getting older or are soldiers looking younger & younger these days?

Formal ...

Time for some more shots in beautiful St. James's park and Becky & Tariq's sense of fun is to the fore

Grey skies gathered but fortunately the weather held for long enough to create some stunning shots in the park.

The best man kept it cool throughout, however.

Kudos to the cake maker for these superbly accurate cake toppers.

The first dance and another demonstration of togetherness and joy.

We enjoy every wedding that we shoot, but what was most special about yesterday was how much that both Rebecca and Tariq made us feel welcome and treated us as guests rather than the interlopers we really are! Thank you both for your hugely generous hospitality - we both wish you every happiness for your future together.
