Kate and Daniel married at the lovely Athelhampton House (once the home of Anne Boleyn, given to her by Henry VIII) in the heart of the Dorset countryside. And once again the rain came down!
Kate got ready at River cottage which nestles neatly in the grounds of the main house with the beautiful river Piddle running past its doors. Normally being so close to the main house, Kate would have walked up the drive to be married, but today in the rain the journey would be a brief one by car.
At last all the guests were seated in the main hall and Daniel at the front was nervously waiting for his bride to be. Kate arrived at the house and out from amongst the shielding umbrellas to walk down the aisle to her waiting man.
We did have a little fortune during the day weather wise and it was just kind enough for us all to get outside to capture Kate and Daniels few chosen family formal shots and then for a short wander through the beautiful Tudor landscaped grounds.
Time for the receiving line aided by the toastmaster whose services Kate and Daniel had acquired for the day and then in for a hearty meal and the speeches and cutting the cake of course.
The evening brought a little better weather and again we were able to take to the gardens for a few more romantic shots. That done Daniel was very keen to try out the giant bouncy castle he and Kate had hired for their guests (no children present mind – well only big ones!!). Then time for the first dance, and the evening began in earnest. All in all a great day and even our lovely English summer couldn’t spoil the celebrations.

The third shot with the couple on the bridge is stunning! I love the shades of green and the composition.
