Back in September I documented the wedding of Evelyne and Laurent. The ceremony was at my local catholic church here in Malmesbury, St. Aldhelms’s and the sumptuous reception was held at Whatley Manor. Whatley Manor is becoming one of my busiest venues and I have several other weddings booked there in 2011. As I’ve mentioned in previous blog posts, Whatley Manor really is the most wonderful of country escapes – a perfect place for an intimate wedding.
Evelyne and Laurent, are actually Belgian, though living here in the UK. As Belgian tradition dictates, their civil ceremony was held in their home town the week before the wedding, followed by the Catholic celebration here in Malmesbury.
I have photographed weddings in France and have also photographed weddings in the UK of French clients, but this was the first time I had had the opportunity to witness a full-blown Belgian wedding. Complete with table dancing, incredibly inventive speeches, impromptu dancing and home movies celebrating the life of Evelyne and Laurent.
It was a joy to photograph this wedding. As always the images were created in my documentary style – the importance of the wedding is the event unfolding, and I aimed to capture the wedding as unobtrusively, but crucially, accurately as possible.
Lovely Kev, beautifully captured. The images exude the excitement felt by Evelyn, Laurent and their guests!!
The little girl at the beginning is a cracker. Nice one
Lovely work again Mr Mullins you clever devil
Wonderful set of photos as always Kevin. Especially like the one of the men sitting down and the one of the little boy standing at the door.

Really love your style Kevin. Lovely story telling images. I, particularly, like the reflection through the mirror of the bride having her make up done, the little boy at the door and the girls running. Great captures.
Some stunning images Kev – particularly the shot of the little boy in the doorway, great use of light.
Fabulous story telling, you really do have an eye for detail….. well done
Beautiful set of images Kevin, the shot of the big hat is a winner, really lovely.
Beautiful work, love the expresions!
Love your use of light. Beautiful bride. I feel like I was there
Love the one at the end Kevin in particular, chap dancing. He is completely lost in a moment and unaware of the World around. Fabulous doc moment.
Kevin,
These are stunning, your timing and ability to be in the right place at the right time is wonderful. I must say its inspiring me to move back towards documentary style photography.
The shot of the little girl is especially fantastic, the expression and light is wonderful.
Look forward to seeing more.
Fantastic work as always Kevin – your ability to be ‘in the right place at the right time’ is amazing.
Another lovely wedding Kevin – I love the one of the driver, perfect!
