A spring wedding on a bright April day, photographed in the garden of a stone house covered in ivy and wisteria. The house stays in the background of almost every frame, so each group is placed in the same setting and the set reads as a single day.
The sequence moves from the couple to the gathering guests, then into the family groups and the candid moments between the posed ones.

Guests gather on the terrace, seen past the shoulder of a woman in a floral dress. The foreground figure frames the crowd and puts the viewer among them.
06.03
A group of four set square to the house, ivy and leaded windows behind. The space above them and the potted plant at the edge give it the formality of a traditional portrait.

The same four from closer, a moment looser, with smiles breaking the pose.

Two guests pose in full sun, the trellis and wall behind them. The striped dress and the bright paving give the frame strong graphic shapes.

The next frame: she turns and kisses his cheek, and he leans into it. The candid follow-up is the one that holds the feeling.
06.07
Four young men in suits, with two girls at the end of the row. Lined up against the house, the younger guests take their turn in front of the camera.
06.08
The four on their own, each holding the pose a little differently. The repeated dark suits, broken by a single blue one, give the picture a simple rhythm.
