There can't be many weddings where the photographer has, many years ago, baby sat the bride and the groom's father is a legend of the football team you support, but surprisingly, I had one last year!

Sarah and Leigh had their wedding at the lovely Cooling Castle Barn on a hot summers day in July. I have know Sarah and Mum Gill for many years so I was very happy when asked to shoot the wedding. I meet Leigh for the first time just before the wedding but didn't realise his Dad was Derek 'Killer' Hales, Charlton Althetic all time record goal scorer and club legend! So a really great day for me!

The pictures of Derek during his Charlton playing day's are, with grateful thanks, from former club photographer, Tom Morris.
