So Friday saw me heading off to Montacute just outside Yeovil to find the lovely Marnie who was getting ready for her big day at her mum’s house. The atmosphere was almost serene, which is not always the case in the preparation suite of the bride to be! But Marnie was very relaxed indeed, and the morning flowed gently by until it was my time to head off to Summer Lodge in Evershot Dorset the venue for the day’s events.

On arrival at Summer Lodge I caught up with Ben (the Groom) and Martin his best man already suited and booted looking very smart. Button holes soon firmly attached, guest were now all on the scene and the registrars had arrived, time for Ben and everyone to head inside to ready for the ceremony. Marnie soon arrived at Summer Lodge accompanied by her step father who was giving her away, she looked very elegant indeed and was eager to find her way to her husband to be.

Time at last for the ceremony: Marnie processed in, preceded by one of her children who was carrying the wedding bands on a floral cushion, and at last she was by Ben’s side. A beautiful touching ceremony followed, the formal legal documents signed and soon, Marnie and Ben exited into the sunlight Mr and Mrs Lavery at last.

Champagne in the lovely Summer Lodge gardens, mingling with close family and friends a very relaxed atmosphere indeed. A few family formal photographs and then Marnie, Ben and I slipped away for a few quiet moments to capture a few intimate romantic images for their album.

Time to head back indoors for the wedding breakfast, this was then followed by the traditional wedding speeches and of course the cutting of the wedding cake. After the formalities were over Marnie, Ben and I slipped away again just to capture a few more beautiful images before it was my time to leave. A very lovely day, a very lovely couple.

Here are a few of my favourite images…
