When you are a wedding photographer, especially a wedding photographer who works in the UK, you learn to live with whatever the weather throws at you. Rain, hail, snow, it’s all just  part of the job. Matt is British and Mary from the USA and they are both lucky enough to live in California, a place unaccustomed to too much rain. However, they chose to get married at the stunning Chartwell House in Kent, and in Kent we get a lot of the wet stuff. So, it was with little surprise that I woke up on the morning of Matt and Mary’s wedding to very dark skies and the customary Kentish summer drizzle. This isn’t something that would phase me usually but I knew Mary had her heart set on having their wedding ceremony outdoors. I fully expected that their plans would have to be changed and perhaps they may be a little disappointed, but as soon as I saw Mary arrive in her London black cab with a huge smile on her face I knew there was really nothing to worry about. I learnt a lot from Matt and Mary that day, not once did they complain about the weather, not once did they stop smiling. The day was about them and their love for each other, that’s what they were there to celebrate and nothing was going to stop them from enjoying every moment, it was an utterly inspiring thing to see.  The grey skies broke only once during the whole day. It will sound like I’m making this bit up but I swear to you I’m not. At the exact moment Matt lifted Mary’s veil to kiss her, the clouds parted for just a few seconds and the sun shone on them both. If you don’t believe me scroll down and look at the photos. It’s the first time I’ve ever heard the guests at a wedding audibly gasp and it actually gave me goose bumps as I took the photo. I asked them a bit later on if they had noticed the sun shining on them for those few seconds but neither of them had, I guess that at that moment they were focused only on one another.
