The Wedding of Heather and Colin
11th November 2009

Saturday the 7th November saw us photographing the wedding of Colin and Heather. We had a fantastic day despite the weather and I'm now busy processing all of the images captured on the day. As I personally process every image this takes a bit of time and it will probably take a week or so before they are ready for viewing. In the meantime I've uploaded a few images to tease you with, check them out in the gallery hope you like them.

Darren.
