Kingston Maurward Dorset Wedding of Chloe & Tim

Last Sunday I headed off to Kingston Maurward just outside Dorchester in Dorset for the wedding of Chloe and Tim. No Bridal preps for me today, Chloe just asked me to start with images of her friends and family arriving at Kingston Maurward. I met Tim outside, who was a bit nervous, but soon guests were arriving to help take his mind off things. Eventually it was the turn of Chloe to arrive and Tim met her outside himself.

Guests now seated in the Pengelly Suite stood to the arrival of Tim and Chloe together processing down the aisle to wed. A touching ceremony, the traditional signing of the register and then out into the beautiful gardens of Kingston Maurward for canapes and Pimms.

A few family formals achieved then Tim, Chloe and I slipped away for ten minutes to capture some more intimate pictures for their album and then it was time to head back indoors for the wedding breakfast.

After the meal a few short speeches and then the traditional cutting of the wedding cake, time to leave this room and head out for coffee and cake. Evening guests now arriving in numbers and soon its time to head back into the marquee room for the official first dance for Chloe and Tim, after which the band kicks in and everyone dances the night away.

Kingston Maurward Dorset Wedding of Laura & Christopher


I was back at Kingston Maurward just outside Dorchester in Dorset for Laura and Christopher’s wedding this weekend. Always a favourite venue, made even nicer by the beautiful Autumnal sunshine which meant everyone could get outside and enjoy the grounds by the lake.
The ceremony took place in the library of course, and the roaring fire in the hall was beautifully welcoming.
Laura had put a lot of thought into the small details of the day – Her dress was gorgeous with thick lace, the cake was very different (which is always nice), the butterfly release was fun (Butterfly’s have a special significance for Laura, and were a theme that ran throughout the day), the magician was very good, and the fact that Laura & Christopher had learned to Jive especially for their first dance really finished the day off perfectly.
There were lots of very cute children haring around, and myself and the shy little 4yr old bridesmaid were firm friends by mid-afternoon!
