A beautiful mellow Autumn day, just right for a wedding! Off to Katie’s (the Bride) family home first for the usual Bridal preps, a lovely farm in the middle of nowhere (not for from Honiton I’m told) in deepest darkest Devon.

Next I drive on to the village of Chardstock (nr Axminster) where the couple will marry in the local parish church of St Andrews. I find the the Groom (Thomas) the rest of the boys and indeed quite a few guests at the local pub The George Inn, enjoying a few pre-wedding drinks (medicinal purposes only you understand ).
Its then time to head to St Andrews, for the guests and Groom alike to enter, take their places and await the arrival of the Bride. And indeed Katie did just that, in a vintage Rolls Royce. A lovely service followed and soon, the happy couple emerged from St Andrews Church into the lovely warm, mellow Autumn sunlight.

Off to the reception venue, a little drive across the Devon countryside to the lovely Lakeside Manor just outside the village of Dunkeswell (nr Honiton). Reception drinks flowed, the sun shone, outside for a few family photographs and a little quiet wander with the happy couple to capture a few quiet moments for their wedding album. All too soon, its time to head back inside Lakeview Manor for the wedding breakfast which is served inside the beautifully decorated marquee.
Meal formalities over with, speeches follow and soon evening guests are arriving. Time to cut the beautifully decorated wedding cake, and then straight into the large conservatory for the first dance as man and wife.
The first dance now complete the DJ steps up the tempo, I catch a little dance floor action, but it is all too soon to leave and I make my farewells.
A lovely wedding in a lovely location, and lovely Autumn sunshine – Bonus!
