Today we had our rehearsal with Jo and Neil.
We met up at the Church of the Assumption in Englefield Green in Surrey. It was a lovely Spring day with the sun shining out of a clear blue sky.
Standing outside looking at the church building you would be forgiven if you thought you were in a Mediterranean country "Portugal' said Neil and I agreed with him, we have spent a lot of time in Portugal and this church building was just like the catholic churches you see there.
We arrived shortly after the morning mass had finished and a blanket of incense smoke was still lying thick in the air. The bright sunshine poured through the windows and the rays cut through the smoke and made for a wonderful sight. |

Jo & Neil are a wonderful couple and it was nice to have met up again - it was back in May 2008 that we were in touch for the first time. There was a special sparkle in Jo's eyes when she talked about the wedding and you could tell that she was really excited about it - the long wait will soon be over. |

We left the church and made the short trip to the Leptis Magna Ruins in Windsor Great Park. We will be taking the natural portrait photographs at the ruins and it is going to work very well. From the ruins it will be just another short trip to the exclusive Wentworth Club where they will be having their wedding reception.
As we were left the ruins Jo said "That it felt a little bit like having a Destination Wedding without leaving Surrey" I agree with her - they will be experiencing the atmosphere of a 'Portuguese' church for their wedding and will be using a genuine Roman Temple for their portraits.
We are greatly looking forward to their wedding at the end of this month.
Update: Jo & Neil are now married - read about their wedding here.

The Leptis Magna Ruins represent a ‘Roman Temple’ and were built from columns and lintels from the ancient Roman city of Leptis Magna. They were given as a gift to King George IV from the Bashaw of Tripoli and were erected by Wyatville, the King’s favourite architect, on the south bank of Virginia Water in the early nineteenth century.
