It’s great to do a wedding on my home turf, I woke up on Saturday and looked out of my bedroom window and could see all three venues for today’s wedding - St. Peter’s church spire, the Burlington Hotel (Helen’s parent’s hotel on the clifftop) and the golf club - the venue for the wedding breakfast.
Yet again the sun was shining as I set off down the road to the Burlington for Helen’s prep shots.
I’ve included this shot as the vintage car shown was Helen’s grandfather’s and they didn’t think it was going to make it down from Manchester but at the last minute one of Helen’s uncles decided to put it on a flatbed truck and got the car down to Norfolk for the wedding. Reflected in the car’s headlamp chrome is Helen’s parent’s hotel so it’s very much a photo steeped in McDermott history!
Apparently Agatha Christie once rode in the back of this car, it’s a beauty.
I don’t usually include the bunny ears photos but I couldn’t resist in this case!
Below right, Ollie looks cool for a shot at the side of the hotel while his father (and bestman) Martin took the slide and got briefly wedged in - it’s only made for little bums Martin!
Below, Steve, guvnor of the Burlington Hotel surveys his domain!
Below, Ollie gave Helen this necklace the day before the wedding, I love the way the late evening light creates the dimension in this shot.
Below, after drinks and canapes at the Burlington it was a short walk West along the cliffs to the Golf Club for a few more drinks and the wedding breakfast, as you can see it was a beautiful evening for taking in the stunning views on the golf course.
Below, Martin demonstrates in his speech how Ollie used to suck a finger and nuzzle his toys, ahh!
Below, dodging golf balls on the 18th fairway has never been such fun!
Below, I stepped outside at one point to get some long exposure shots of the clubhouse while they partied inside and managed to catch a shooting star falling over the golf club. Must be a good omen!
