Photographer Sean Elliot said he 'didn't want to miss the unique opportunity' to use the atmospheric sky to his advantage
The couple, who are currently on their honeymoon, had opted for a Great Gatsby-themed wedding - but Sean said it felt like being on the set of a rather different movie.
'I commented to the bride Colette that the weather felt like Spielberg had gone to town on the set of the Tess of the d'urbervilles movie,' Sean said. 'She replied how much she loved that book.'
He explained that no one knew what was happening as they left the venue following the ceremony.
'People leaving were saying things like "Wow, this is weird" and "What's happened?" Someone even said "has Trump actually pushed the button?" 'It did feel like how I imagine a nuclear fall out would be,' he said.
But he quickly decided to use the unusual sky to his advantage, explaining: 'We were probably only 10 minutes but that's all we needled to get something quite special.'
Sean added that he had worked with difficult weather conditions before, but added that 'This really was something different.'
The red sun seen in Britain on Monday was believed to have been caused by the storm picking up dust from North Africa and debris from forest fires in Spain and Portugal as it travelled towards the UK.
