Yes, THE Jez Bragg. Professional ultra running God, The North Face global sponsored athlete and more.
Why me? Well, earlier on this year I was sent by The North Face to take photos at the Fellsman - a 100km ultra race that they sponsor in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales. Jez had smashed the record last year and was the favourite for 1st place again this year and I spent 11 hours chasing him around the 100km to get action photos of him in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales, with lots of The North Face logos of course...and he came 1st again by the way!
His lovely fiance Gemma was also chasing him and we chatted a little bit and when they were seeking a wedding photographer they asked if I'd be willing. And I was. And a great day it was too.
The theme of the day was Running (aside from Jez being an ultra God, Gemma recently completed the CCC, her first 100km race as part of the Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc - well done Gem!) and the day was spotted with references to it which was great. Jez even gave me a lovely 24mile route to run around the jurassic coast that I did on the Friday and I was still walking OK on Saturday!!
Anyway, enough talk, here's a few photos from the day... either scroll down or click on the first one and you can flick through in a slideshow.

And so they become Mr and Mrs Bragg and go on to enjoy a life of running together!
