The marriage of Sarah and David at Matfen
Deep red apples cleverly made into candles - on a table strewn with rose petals.
For some reason they seemed really apt in the cold wintry weather.
Candles were something of a theme at this wedding - I didn't try to count them but there must have been hundreds.
Extremely good
insurance against
power cuts.
Atten - shun
shoes parade at the ready.
eight shoes !
they either belong to four ladies
or an octopus with a taste for satin shoes.
Guys sticking together outside the main door of Matfen.
David had cunningly sewn velcro onto his shoulders which meant that his best man and usher wouldn't stray too far !

Sarah liked the stairway and gothic stained glass window at Matfen.
It's therefore something of a priority that she has a picture to remember it by !
Aha - the meal and speeches.
David is caught here studying his speech notes.
wow - lots of closely typed text.
should be fun !
As you know - next thing that happens is
the best man makes his speech
customarily a character assasination of the groom
followed by a toast to the bridesmaids .
cheers !
(his was also a good speech !)
The closely typed notes were for real !
If Sarah's reaction
is anything to go by,
they seem
to be having the desired effect,
Curtain cam takes a candid picture,
for this one - the camera was hidden in a decorative tassel on one of the curtains.
bride n groom descend
after a few quiet moments in their room
hey that rhymes . . . .
and pause on the staircase.
an (almost) unposed picture.
i.e. you simply had to point this guy at his wife and kissing became his vocation !.
and . er . the
last picture . . which I'm rather pleased with.
Yes . . that is the moon appearing through cloud above the building.
shortly after this picture was taken the disco commenced . . also lots of
fun . .
Kerry and I then
slipped off into the night, very tired but also very happy.
p.s. a big thank you to Sarah for organising food at Matfen to keep us going !
Matfen hall,
Northumberland, actually gives it's address as Newcastle upon Tyne,
however Newcastle is really in Tyne and Wear. . . .
try searching the streets of Newcastle upon Tyne for Matfen . . .
Matfen Hall,
a wedding most cool, (almost sub zero actually).
Northumberland is sometimes a chilly place to photograph at the best of times
Matfen almost got four T's and four F's as I tried to pronounce it with chattering
teeth.
wow was
this photographer cold !
