Jess and Dan recently tied the knot (twice) at Northbrook Park in Surrey and I was honoured to be the one to capture their special day!
Northbrook Park is known for its beautiful grounds and their peacocks that live there. Jess expressed that she would love to have a photograph of a peacock somewhere during the wedding so the challenge was on…I did hope that one would walk infront of the mandap on the day, but no such luck, however, as soon as I’d set up, my assistant (Sam) spotted a peacock and as I crept closer to it, (with my camera all set up) the peacock opened its feather and started shaking them in my direction! I believe this is the mating call, correct? Maybe it was my good looks or my camera the peacock was attracted to….As the day went on, the peacock was always close by and sat on the balcony of Jessica’s room while she was getting ready, we could hear it during the ceremony and I even managed to get the peacock to pose in the background during the portrait session 😉
So what actually happened on the day? 1st was the Civil wedding, then the Hindu wedding, a dinner reception followed by the post wedding games and vidhai (leaving ceremony). I had an absolute blast on their wedding day and the one thing you will see is that Jess and Dan were always smiling and I loved this about them. So now for your viewing pleasure, a few of the moments captured from Jess and Dan’s wedding. I wish you guys all the best for the future.
