Louise and Sam were married at Chalbury Church in Dorset
and then held their very personal reception in the grounds of Louise's
mothers house. A gorgeous home with swimming pool, ornamental lake and
plenty of space for a marquee with games for all the guests. A
beautiful day of sunshine helped make this a memorable wedding to
photograph with tonnes of personal touches and a really lovely couple.
Finally after what felt like weeks of rain, I saw some sunshine at my wedding on Friday. It was also followed by another day of sunshine for my second wedding this weekend, but more of that later.
I was delighted when Nick contacted me to shoot his special day as I had photographed his brothers wedding in France back in September 2006 so it was great to see some familiar faces at Leah and Nick's celebration in Lower Froyle.
This gorgeous couple wanted a very relaxed occasion with their closest family and friends and picked a beautiful English pub to host their wedding. Although myself and virtually all the guests were constantly on guard from the perilous dangers of incredibly low beamed ceilings, this place had such a unique and special feel to it that fitted in perfectly with what Leah and Nick were hoping for. It even had a white picket fence and field full of yellow flowers as a beautiful backdrop to a very special and memorable wedding day.
Here are just a few preview shots from the day.
Had to comment on this first one as I just loved the tire treads through a blanket of blossom
The lovely Howfield Manor near Canterbury in Kent hosted this beautiful wedding of Sara and Nigel. Both Sara and Nigel got ready at the venue along with their family and friends and although the weather threatened the worse, we all enjoyed sunshine throughout until we were safely tucked inside the herb garden styled marquee for the wedding breakfast. Then it really did rain! Sara looked amazing in her dress and made the short walk downstairs to enjoy an emotional personal ceremony complete with a poem written for them both. After the ceremony, everyone explored the house and grounds before making their way to the marquee for the evening festivities.
Here are some preview pictures from the day.
This weekend I spent a fabulous few days in the company of Linzi and Dave who were celebrating their wedding at the gorgeous Chateau des Condes in France, also known as The Wedding Chateau. It certainly lived up to it's name as Linzi and Dave hosted a wedding celebration to remember. Here are just a few preview pictures from the amazing day.
