Kelly & Phil's Wedding - The West Mill - Derby
I'm off to the West Mill venue for the third time in 2018. Its Kelly & Phil's turn today and I've been looking forward to this day for some time after hearing about their plans for the day! There's a little surprise in store for all the guests during the wedding breakfast!
Prep starts nice and early in the gorgeous dressing room at The West Mill for the Bridal party which gives me plenty of time to capture the venue and detail shots of the West Mill in all its industrial splendour!
Phil arrives at The West Mill in the gorgeous sunshine via bus with all their wedding guests in tow and the Cotton quarter goes from empty to rammed in five minutes, filling the venue with all that beautiful wedding atmosphere before the ceremony begins
Those three hours before a ceremony always seem to be the quickest of the day for me. Time just seems to pass by so quickly and before you know it, it's time to go say your 'I do's'
Kelly & Phil tie the knot in a stunning ceremony at The West Mill surrounded by a huge congregation of family and friends. After the ceremony they are led out surrounded by a guard of honour from the couples RAF friends. Always a privilege to capture moments like this
After all the photos had been taken, the canapes had been scoffed and the Pimm's all drank, it was time to head in for the wedding breakfast. But this was not just a meal and speeches kind of wedding breakfast. This was something else. Something I probably wont see again for a long while!
Courtesy of the West End Singing Waiter's I witnessed the craziest, loudest and most enjoyable wedding breakfast celebration I've ever seen! These guys are truly amazing and what I witnessed was insane. Every single person on their feet dancing, singing, shouting and some even in tears! It was hard not to get carried away with the celebrating and join in myself!
Phil and Kelly take to the floor for the first time as husband and wife to start the evening celebrations and bring this amazing day to a close for me!
Truly truly grateful for the moments I get to witness at all these beautiful celebrations. This is one I'll never forget. Thanks to Phil & Kelly for organising one hell of an amazing wedding!
