Another fantastic day ( a few squally showers around but nothing to worry about) for a wedding. My first port of call today is to Sarah’s family home in Ringwood, to capture the dress details, shoes, flowers etc. Its then down to Bournemouth to find the Girls being pampered (hair make-up etc) at Scissors Salon. Next I move on to the boys not very far away, Mada and his groomsmen very smart all dressed in white. I spend a little time with the boys before moving on again to the Church St Andrews on Richmond Hill where the ceremony is to take place. Soon guests are arriving and the colours of dress is fantastic – it is good to note here that Mada and his family are from Malawi.
Just as Sarah pulls up at the church, the heavens open (typical!) but she is soon inside and down the aisle to the waiting Mada. The ceremony over Sarah and Mada enter into beautiful sunshine and a hail of confetti! Its over to Bournemouth Gardens for a few family formals and then time to move on again, this time to the reception venue the lovely Harbour Heights Hotel in Poole.
Drinks and Canapes on the sun deck and then in for the lovely meal and speeches. Now Sarah Mada and I get a chance to slip away for a few quiet moments and some romantic pictures for their album. We are driven down to Sandbanks, and spend a little while relaxing on the beach watching the summer sun gradually sinking towards the horizon. All too soon its time to head back to the reception, the first dance an evening barbecue and more friends arriving. A hectic but fantastic day!
