\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wedding photographer: Andrew\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Locations:<\/strong> Coventry: the Bride’s home and
\nKenilworth: The Chesford Grange Hotel<\/p>\n

Every wedding is different – every wedding is a wedding with a difference. This one just had more differences than most. In the first place, it wasn’t actually a\u00a0 wedding at all. The bride and groom had already been married – twice! Due to Covid, there had been a small scale (5 persons) marriage ceremony in 2020, and then a 30 person wedding (with vows repeated, as I understand it) in 2021. I had been booked for both, but under the circumstances, the BIG reception was thrown forward each time. Finally here it was – and it was decided not to repeat the actual wedding bit again, but just do photos and PARTY!<\/p>\n

It was also a wedding with a difference because both James and Heidi have Down’s syndrome. What difference that made is both easy and hard to describe. At one level, no difference at all… but then again…\u00a0 I have written at length about what an amazing day it was in my blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

From a wedding photographer’s point of view, though, it was just like any other wedding. I was possibly a little more nervous (James and Heidi have a fair media following, and there were some high profile guests too) but once things started, the day just flowed, as they always do. Two wonderful families joined together, a tremendous number of friends, including many DS activists, and just a brilliant party!<\/p>\n

All images shared here are also publicly visible elsewhere on the net<\/a>. I want to get this wedding seen in support of Don’t Screen us Out!<\/a> and other bodies or movements in support of the rights and dignity of people with Down’s syndrome. If there are any issues with any images shown, please contact me and I will remove them. And yes, that is Sally Phillips in the photo![\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Thank you, Heidi and James, for asking me to photograph your marriage celebration!<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”5011″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]
