Nick and Martha - A Wedding at Drayton Old Lodge

From Chris' website:

"I’ve known Nick since we were about six years old, we were at school together for the long haul and up until a few months ago I hadn’t seen him in nearly 20 years. One Sunday morning I was down at the lifeboat shed cleaning down the boat after one of our Sunday morning exercises when I spotted Nick and his father wandering past. We had a quick chat, the usual - what you up to now, it’s been a while, good to see you again, etc, and went our merry ways. A few weeks later I had a mail from Nick saying he was getting married in February and could I send over some prices for my photography…. and here we are. It was a crisp winter’s day at Drayton Old Lodge, crisp but a little damp and muddy - hence not many outdoor photos. Nick and Martha had arranged a really relaxed, fun wedding, right from the 50’s sci-fi themed wedding invitations to the fun and games laid on for the 36 children attending (along with their parents!). Below are some of my favourite shots of the day, my main aim was to capture the personalities of the people and fun of the event which I hope will come across in the images... "

Found this post in the draft folder, almost two years after the event so can't believe this link to his blog post about our wedding still exists. Glad I stumbled across this draft as it's a really kind and happy reminder of what we were hoping to put together for our nearest and dearest.

Chris Taylor's Photography is Incredible. I thought so before he did our wedding too! A level of technical ability and post production that sets him apart, in my humble opinion. Have not had much contact but hope his business goes from strength to strength.
