Suzie & Drake, Hampton Court
One rarely has a chance to photograph a wedding in a Royal Palace and I was privileged to be asked to cover the wedding of Suzannah and Drake in Hampton Court Palace on the 22nd May this year. It was an incredible day from bridal preparation through to the final departure of the happy couple!
The day was another hot one, clear blue skies and the sun shone relentlessly the whole day through. The day was full of events and surprises, a guest appearance by Henry VIII and entertainment by the seriously silly jester of international repute, Peet!
After the bridal preparation Suzannah accompanied by her father and bride's maids took a walk over from The Mitre hotel opposite much to the amazement of the local traffic and onlookers at the palace! It's certainly not an everyday occurrence to see a beautiful bride and her entourage walk past you! The ceremony was held in the Chapel Royal followed by tea in the Banqueting House and Champagne and canapes in the orchard in the palace grounds. Following the entertainment it was time for the procession to Wedding Breakfast held in the Great Hall.
A truly amazing day, with many moments captured and a whole treasure of memories from the day.
Thank you Suzannah and Drake
