The day went something like this...
I arrived at the Crowne Plaza Royal Victoria to meet Chris as he welcomed their guests. Natalie didn't want any photos of bridal prep, but I still went and saw her when she was ready to await the arrival of her dad. I love that moment.
Crowne Plaza Royal Victoria, Sheffield
Crowne Plaza Royal Victoria, Sheffield (formally the Holiday Inn) caters to weddings great and small. Natalie & Chris had their ceremony in The Assembly Room which can hold up to 120 people and was decorated with their autumnal theme.
After the ceremony We gathered everyone up for a full group shot at the bottom of the stairs, before I did what I normally do, I disappeared into the background to capture unposed wedding photos that show what really happened, and let Natalie & Chris spend more time with their loved ones!
Once the room had been turned around, it was time for the speeches. Chris was first up, followed by Natalie's dad, and he couldn't keep the tears away, bless him! Finally Chris' bestman gave him a gentle ribbing but it was all in good spirits!
Once the speeches were over, I took Natalie and Chris out the front for some night portraits using off-camera flash. Once that shot was in the bag, it was all about the party (my favourite bit).
Natalie and Chris' daughter sang All of Me from John Legend and it was a special moment to watch.
