The Priory Hertfordshire Wedding of Jaimie & Dill

Last week I tootled over to the lovely Priory ( a very olde barn) in Little Wymondley (fab name ;-) ) Hertfordshire for the wedding of Jaimie and Dill.

A bit of a changeable day, blustery a few light showers,but gradually the weather brightened and by the time the afternoon came round the sun came out and stayed with us. No Bridal preparations for me on this wedding, so straight to the venue to catch up with Dill and the boys and to capture all the arrivals, including Jaimie in style in her posh vintage car.

A lovely ceremony and we were off into the celebrations, cocktails and canapes, formal pictures, magic entertainment for the kids (big and small!) and then Jaimie, Dill and I slipped away for some quiet pictures.

The wedding breakfast, followed by the funny speeches and then outside again and another little wander with the happy couple making the most of the lovely evening sunshine. Time to head back to the barn as the band are waiting and Jaimie and Dill take to the dance floor for their first dance.

Fantastic day :-)

 

Here is just a taster of Jaimie and Dill’s special day in pictures…

Crown Hotel Blandford Dorset Wedding of Hayley & Sean

So a couple of weeks ago saw me head to the lovely Georgian Crown Hotel in Blandford Forum Dorset for the wedding of Hayley and Sean. Very nice to be only 20 or so minutes away from home too, a very nice change indeed!

Anyway, a very lovely sunny day saw a wonderful and touching ceremony followed by drinks canapes and formal photographs in the gardens. Hayley Sean and I slipped away for a few quite moments to give them a little breathing space and allowing me to capture some more romantic shots for the album. Back to the Hotel and inside for the formal wedding breakfast, wedding speeches and of course the cutting of the wedding cake.

The evening kicked off with the traditional first dance and then the dance floor filled and some pretty fancy moves were thrown down too. A little break for the evening buffet and outside for some beautiful Sky Lanterns to be lit and gently sent on their way into the blue black night sky.

Another fabulous day and a fabulous couple…

Maunsel House Somerset Wedding of Nicola & Andrew

Saturday saw me heading back to the lovely Maunsel House in Somerset for the wedding of Nicola and Andrew, not quite so sunny but hopefully we would miss the showers!

First I joined the boys on the traditional Maunsel House Clay Pigeon shoot and then it was time to head to the King’s room to cover the Bridal preparations. A short journey to St Peters Church for the lovely ceremony and then back to Maunsel for the celebrations. A Saxophone and singer combo kept us entertained as we supped on fresh ice-cream from a vintage seller upon his bike and the sun came out in all the right places. A few formal photographs and a quiet wander with Nicola and Andrew to capture a few personal shots for their album.

Time to head inside for dinner and speeches followed by coffee and the cutting of the wedding cake and then to the dance floor for Nicola and Andrews first dance s man and wife.

Another great day full of wonderful little surprises and the weather behaved as well, choosing only to rain a little when we were indoors, perfect! :-)

 

Here are just a few of the pictures from Nicola and Andrews wedding day at Maunsel House….

Lorton House Dorset Wedding of Sabrina & Adam

Well what can I say!! Except to say this wedding was absolutely fabulous :-) I would love to show you every picture because there was just so much going on, so much fun, sooo many details, love and laughter. Unfortunately I can’t…I would blow up my blog, but below are just a few of my favourite images from the day, and don’t forget I will be posting a fab mood board from this wedding very soon with all those wonderful, wonderful details…watch this space!

 

Sabrina and Adam had a wonderful sunny day for their wedding. Starting off at the lovely Lorton House for the usual Bridal preparations, and then on to Bennetts Water Gardens in Weymouth for a lovely outdoor ceremony. Then Sabrina and her hubby Adam and I made our way down to Moonfleet on the Dorset coast to capture a few quite moments before proceeding back to Lorton House for the rest of the day’s festivites. Oh and what festivities…a lazer shoot, bouncy castle, Zorbing, live comedy act a fab band (& DJ of course), sparklers, fireworks and a fab solo/one man band to end the night…phew!!

 

Dinner in the marquee followed by the fab El-Loco comedy mime act and then time for the hilarious speeches. A little lul in proceedings allowing Sabrina and Adam to sneak off for a few more quite pictures and then back to the marquee for a very lovely and funny first dance! Time for the band Shooter to kick in and fill the dance floor, later a sparkler tunnel took us all outside to watch the brilliant fireworks and then time for the last act of the evening the great Bill Solo.

 

What an absolutely fabulous day!

Maunsel House Wedding of Lucy & Jon

Saturday saw me heading off to one of my favourite venues for a wedding the fabulous Maunsel House in Somerset. Oh what a beautiful spring day, in fact with the temperatures in the mid 20′s it was more like summer.

I started the day with the boys on a clay pigeon shoot and then to the house for the usual preparations of the Bride. A beautiful outdoors ceremony in the bandstand and relaxing in the summer like sunshine with pimms and canapes all in the beautiful grounds of Maunsel House.

After some quiet time with just Lucy and Jon, time to head in for the wedding breakfast followed by the traditional speeches, coffee time and then the cutting of the wedding cake.

The band all set and raring to go, Lucy and Jon took to the dance floor for their first dance as husband and wife.

Evening buffet a fantastic hog roast under the pergola set with twinkly fairy lights and then for the grand finale…a fab firework display.

All in all a wonderful day in a perfect setting!
