They were on the way to a wedding of one of Claire's friends and called in to show us their wedding outfits en-route to the wedding.
I took the opportunity to take some pictures.
Claire and Matt get married in March next year and as well as being father of the bride, I am also going to be the photographer !
It was a hot and sunny day and the only shaded bit of the garden was the back fence, which wasn't the ideal background . There's some nice sunlight lighting the hair and heads
The both look lovely. I love a good dress up for a wedding, just about the only time I do! I'm not sure how you're going to manage FOB and photographer duties Phil, Good luck :)
Handsome couple. Your daughter is a real beauty. Won’t it be hard to wear 2 hats at their wedding? I know if you want something done well, do it yourself but still won’t it be hard to relax and enjoy being father of the bride?
I see you have a lovely daughter with a smile as capturing as yours. They are very elegantly dressed. Looks like Matt is taking after England' Southgate with that waistcoat - at least that's what we called it in the past before it went out of fashion. Beautiful capture and the best of luck to your daughter, fiance and, of course, the photographer.
@allie912 thanks for your lovely words and concern about my dual role of FOB and Photographer. I will get some help on the photographer front from my brother and Dave our next door neighbour , so it will all be OK. We did similar when my daughter Kirsty was married in 2013 :)
