Keeley and Charlie's Wedding, Blakeney Norfolk

Having done a pre-wedding shoot with Keeley and Charlie earlier in the year I was delighted to be finally photographing their wedding at Blakeney, just up the road from where I live. They are a lovely couple and were nice and relaxed in front of the camera so it was a laid back kind of day, I hope they feel the same!
Charlie, his dad and the rest of the boys went for a pre-Wedding Breakfast, breakfast at Cookes of Cley. I popped along for a few minutes and grabbed some quick shots before heading to The Blakeney Hotel to photograph Keeley preparing.

The Hotel overlooks the wonderful harbour at Blakeney and Keeley had a room with a balcony. Unfortunately the only rain of the day fell when it was time to use it for some photos with her bridesmaids, typical! Still the wonderful interior provided some lovely backgrounds for photos especially the cream wood panelling which showed off the bouquets beautifully. 



The magnificent Blakeney Church played host to their ceremony and as Charlie serves in the Royal Navy he and a few of his fellow crew were decked out in full uniform complete with ceremonial swords. Leaving the church under an arch of swords and out into the bright September sunshine we headed to the harbour for some one-on-one whilst the wedding party headed to Wiveton Hall for canapés. 





Keeley and Charlie caused a bit of a stir down on the harbour with holiday makers and kids who were crabbing all stopped in their tracks by the newlyweds wandering down the harbour front.
 Just before their wedding breakfast we made the most of the wonderful kitchen garden at Wiveton Hall for a few more portraits.




Unsurprisingly there were some navy games to be played during the dessert which involved eating it without any cutlery!  

Charlie didn't do so well
