What a day – a wedding full of fun, love & laughter from the start. James is actually a professional jockey living and working in France, hence the Anglo-French connection. As you would expect, many of the guests had flown over from France. The day started at Raithwaite for Alexia’s bridal preparation before heading to St Hilda’s Roman Catholic Church in Whitby. Returning to Raithwaite for the full on celebrations, football chants as the World cup was in full swing and all mixed with generous amounts of French wine.

Many thanks to Alexia & James for allwing me to capture their special day. It’s a tough job narrowing down the collection of photo’s down to just a small handful. Here’s just a few from their day . Also a big thank you has to go out to Sophie Rispin – wedding co ordinator and to Charlotte, hair & make up artist ( http://www.bespokebeautyandbridal.co.uk/ )
