So the other day I headed off to Gordleton Mill in Hampshire for the wedding of Rebecca and Mark. The day started out a bit patchy with the odd light shower, sunny bits in between, hoping the day is going to stay fine as Gordleton Mill have a licence to marry outside on the veranda which is very lovely. Arriving at the Mill just after a very heaver shower (oh,Oh!) I head straight up to Rebecca’s room to cover the usual morning preparations. Soon we are joined by the most gorgeous little bridesmaids, a grand old age of 3 years each, looking very beautiful in their little white dresses with pearly head bands. Eventually prep time is over and I leave Rebecca looking lovely in her wedding gown waiting for the visit from the registrars to head downstairs to find Mark the Groom.
Looks like I’m in luck, the clouds have cleared, we have beautiful blue skies and warm early summer sunshine. I head out onto Gordleton Mills lovely Mill stream veranda and find Mark and his best man Dave patiently waiting for the forthcoming proceedings. Guest have now taken their places in seats along the waters edge and are also eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Bride. At last Rebecca, her father and their entourage of Bridesmaids and page boy make their way downstairs and head out into the gardens, and gradually process towards the waiting Groom, Mark.
A lovely ceremony filled with laughter, the official registers signed, Rebecca is presented with the marriage certificate and soon Mr and Mrs Britton are exiting to the lovely gardens of Gordleton Mill, husband and wife!
Warm summer sun, beautiful meandering riverside gardens full of wonderful colours and smells, Pimms and strawberries and the gentle rippling of laughter combine to make the perfect afternoon. A few family formal pictures quickly captured and then Rebecca, Mark and I, slip away from the crowd for a little quiet time and to capture some romantic images for their album.
All too soon, its time to head indoors for the wedding breakfast, the sun is now low behind the trees and dusk is upon us. A delightful meal, followed by the traditional wedding speeches and of course the cutting of the wedding cake.
After dinner our evening entertainment arrive and begin to set up, the bar fills and the evening jolliment begins. Rebecca, Mark and I use this opportunity to disappear again for 5 minutes to capture a few more intimate images and then it’s time to go back inside the Mill where their band for the evening is waiting for them. To the dance floor then, and the first official dance as Mr and Mrs Britton, the band then kicks in and the floor fills to rock the night away.
Another lovely day, another lovely couple, I love my job
