Vicki and Dave’s Westminster Register Office wedding in London yesterday was a fabulously warm mix of cultures and hugs finished off with a 10-course banquet. I started with Vicki getting ready and then popped to Dave’s room, where he was getting ready with his son Jack. But first, the shoes.

Once Vicki had gone through checks with the registrars, Dave was waiting.

Luckily, when Dave was getting ready, he put two hankies in his pockets.

When we arrived at the Paddington Novotel, Vicki’s niece took her job as flowergirl to include helping Vicki with her veil during the drinks reception.

After Vicki and Dave had spent some time with their guests, we went outside for some portraits.  It was a tad windy.

We came back inside the hotel and I stole Vicki away for a portrait with this hot pink paintwork.

Dave’s son Jack was very popular with some of his new and younger relatives.  This little girl kept following him around the hotel, imitating his every move.
