These tips come from Chloe and Ben who got married in one of the most picturesque villages in Dorset, Cerne Abbas. The reception was held at Chloe's parents place in a beautiful garden and marquee. The scene was set for a beautiful English Summer wedding, and true to form we got English Summer weather - in fact probably the wettest day of the year!! What a shame, still it didn't spoil a thing, Chloe and Ben laughed throughout and we all had a really wonderful and memorable day.
Dear Courtenay,
Happy New Year!
Thank you for your email about our favourite photo and top tips.
Our favourite image is this one
It is a very stylish black and white which still shows off the beautiful cornfields behind. We just laughed through this moment as the wind and the rain blasted us all but the photo managed to look timeless and poised with our umbrellas framing us - a really happy memory!
A few top tips for future brides:
1. Don't bank on perfect weather even for an August wedding! In fact, based on the last two summers, expect rain and even floods. If it rains, you will laugh anyway and everyone will tell tales of the stormy event as they reflect back on your photos!
2. Buy some vintage style umbrellas - they can be used as a parasol if you have sun - and they add a timeless/classic element to your photography
3. Choose a photographer who doesn't mind ripping his trousers climbing in and out of vintage cars - all in the name of his art (mentioning no names Courtenay!)
We hope you have a fantastic year, Courtenay.
Love,
Chloe and Ben
