Elaine and Craig were meant to get married on Sunday. Instead, everyone was at home, trying to navigate strange new lockdown lives. The blue sky and warm sun were such a tease but we hope that they return for their rescheduled wedding later this year.

Despite the stress and upset, Elaine and Craig found their own way through their intended wedding day. Elaine told me they'd had a strange week, thinking about all the things they should've been doing in preparation. On Sunday morning she got ready for another day in lockdown, only to find Craig waiting downstairs in his suit, prompting laughs and tears. There's a photo on Facebook of Craig later in the day, dressed in shorts at a supermarket till, "in the only aisle he'll be waiting in today"! Then at 7pm, Craig called Elaine into the living room for their first dance. Just the two of them, serenaded by Dan Reed's Stronger Than Steel.

If only I'd known, I could've tried one of those new-fangled FaceTime photoshoots... but I think it's best all round that we wait for their second dance in October ;)

In the meantime, here are a few photos I took at their socially distanced practice shoot, a couple of weeks before lockdown.
