At Labyrinth Mini Movies, we’re thrilled to have recently joined the Norfolk Chamber of Commerce, and what better way to introduce ourselves to this vibrant community than by sharing a story that’s close to our hearts? We had the immense privilege of photographing a wedding that reminded us why we do what we do—a celebration of love that proves it’s never too late to say “I do.”
Meet James and Pauline, a remarkable couple whose wedding day radiated joy, connection, and a timeless spirit. James, in his 90s, and Pauline, in her 80s, tied the knot in a heartfelt ceremony at the Salvation Army Hall in North Walsham. From there, they journeyed to the stunning Norfolk coast at Overstrand, where their reception unfolded with a wedding breakfast, speeches, cake-cutting, and dancing that carried them into the evening. It was a day brimming with love—and one we’ll never forget.
You might wonder what sets this wedding apart from the many beautiful celebrations we’ve captured over the years. The answer lies in James and Pauline themselves. Their age didn’t define their day; their love did. Watching them exchange vows, surrounded by family and friends spanning every generation—from toddlers toddling about to teenagers snapping selfies, young families in their 20s, parents in their 40s, uncles and aunties in their 50s and 60s, and dear friends in their 70s and 80s—was a powerful reminder that love brings us together, no matter where we are in life.
For my wife Racheal and me, capturing this day was more than just a job—it was an honour. James and Pauline entrusted us to preserve their memories, and we felt blessed to witness their story unfold through our lenses. There’s something magical about seeing two people, who have lived such rich and full lives, choose to embark on a new chapter together. Their smiles, their glances, the way they held each other as they danced—it was a masterclass in what true love looks like.
This wedding wasn’t just a celebration; it was a testament to the idea that age is just a number. We truly are as young as we feel, and James and Pauline embodied that spirit in every moment. Their energy lifted everyone around them, and photographing them left Racheal and I feeling fantastic—reinvigorated by the power of connection and the beauty of a love that conquers all.
At Labyrinth Mini Movies, we pour our hearts into every project, whether it’s a wedding, a family portrait, or a creative business video. But days like this one remind us why we started this journey: to tell stories that matter, to freeze fleeting moments in time, and to celebrate the human spirit in all its forms. James and Pauline’s wedding was a gift—not just to them, but to us, and to everyone who shared in their joy.
As we settle into our new home within the Norfolk Chamber of Commerce network, we’re excited to connect with businesses and individuals who value community, creativity, and the stories that make life special. If you’d like to chat about how we can capture your next milestone—or simply share a story of your own—we’d love to hear from you.
Here’s to love, to life, and to feeling young at heart, no matter the years. Cheers to James and Pauline—may their days ahead be as beautiful as the one we were lucky enough to witness.
