Wedding with a twist

Without doubt the wettest wedding I’ve ever had the please of participating at but also the most interesting. It took place July 30th on Glastonbury Tor. For a little bit of background to this magical place...the town of Glastonbury has a history immense and intriguing, full of myths and legends they combine in such a way that you cannot but feel the “vibes” and powerful energy of the town. Glastonbury is the cradle of Christianity in England but is also reputed to be the burial place of King Arthur. Glastonbury is believed to have been a site for pre-Christian worship. It’s creation dates back five thousand years. All that remains of the medieval church at the top of the Tor is the tower. The legend of Avalon as told in Celtic folklore Avalon was an isle of enchantment, the meeting place of the dead. Legend has it that King Arthur, and his wife Guinevere, are buried in the grounds of Glastonbury Abbey. So what better spiritual center to celebrate your “marriage” in. Though when it rains there is no cover so it’s essential that you employ the mind over matter theory and feel the love. The groom in kilt is in fact Italian and his bride to be English and they were both delightful and positive while the rain came down in torrents. As a photographer trying to get images and at the same time trying to protect my equipment it was the most difficult shoot but as I mentioned earlier the most interesting and somewhat fun shoot I’ve ever done.
