Francesca and Chris
04th August 2011
Emma Watts Photography was asked by Martin Wilkins at Wightphotography to assist him with the wedding of Cesca and Chris at Landguard Manor. The day started off with very heavy rain and we had fears of staying indoors for the whole day, but as soon as the couple said "I DO" the sun appeared and stayed for the entire day - pheww!!! Francesca woo'ed the congregation when she arrived for her groom on the arms of her "2" dads in a stunning strapless, layed white gown and accompanied by two bridesmaid in the most beautiful bright pink, full lengh dresses. The Groomsmen, to my delight, wore Top Hats with their tail coats and looked very handsome. The guests were entertained by a magnificent flying display of "birds of prey" and were also able to handle the birds too. Not only did I take the photographs for the wedding but also had to assist the bride and groom in re-creating the movie scene from the Epic film, "Gone with the Wind" where Scarlet O'Hara was rescued from the burning Tara mansion by the dashing Rhett Butler. Chris lifted his bride at the top of the stairs but needed help so I took the brides legs and assisted with the lift whilst hiding under the dress layers - a cracking shot was achieved by Martin and a lot of laughs too!!! Emma Watts Photography would like to wish Chess and Chris all the best for a wonderful life together xxx
