Sunshine & showers for Elizabeth & Richard's big day!

Saturday 17th September 2011

We were lucky with the weather again this week as Elizabeth and Richard married at St. Brannocks Church, Braunton. The bridesmaids were dressed in cerise pink and the colour theme was carried through to the reception which was held at The Saunton Sands Hotel. After group pictures at the Church everyone made the short trip to Saunton for a few more photographs before the afternoon and early evening celebrations got underway. I returned later in the evening and took the couple back outside in the gale force winds for some more photgraphs with Saunton beach providing a dramatic backdrop just as the the sun set.
