Lloyd Dobbie Wedding Photography

On Saturday I was at Rowhill Grange Hotel on the outskirts of London to photograph the wedding of Sharry and Eddie. Not only was the wedding ceremony held at the hotel but the wedding reception too so Sharry, her three bridesdmaids and her Mum all prepared in a room there.

Sharry’s chief bridesmaid Jo was a familiar face as I had photographed her wedding in Cornwall a couple of years ago.

Although it had been raining in the morning by the time we all came out of the wedding ceremony the weather had dried up and there was even some blue sky poking through.

The bride and groom had first met when Eddie attended one Sharry’s Salsa classes so it was fitting that their first dance was to a Salsa mix of Better Together by Jack Johnson.

Another gorgeous day in London and another fun wedding. Jessica and Paul first met at Uni and 12 years later here they are getting married!
I started the day with the bride at her parents house in Kent. Once she had finished getting ready, with the help of her five bridesmaids, we all set off in a gorgeous red 1950′s bus and headed up to Westminster for the wedding ceremony.

The wedding ceremony and the wedding reception were held at One Whitehall Place, one of London’s grander wedding venues. On arrival in we encountered a small hitch; the road leading to the venue was closed off because of the presence of one of the biggest cranes you are likely to see. So, we all disembarked around 100 yards down the street and the girls, pulling their overnight bags behind them, made their way to the wedding. As you can see from the photograph a group of workman looked on with interest (but not enough interest to help with the bags!).
Jessica didn’t grumble though, she just picked up her dress and marched on in her siver ‘LK Bennets’.

During the ceremony there were two readings. One of them, a poem called ‘The Invitation’, was particularly touching and you can read it on the web site of the author, Oriah Mountain Dreamer.

After drinks on a terrace that over looks Embankment the wedding breakfast was served upstairs in the Library and followed by a night of dancing.

The newlyweds are now off on a 3½ week honeymoon taking in various destinations including Las Vegas and Hawaii!
