Connie and Andy's wedding

On Friday I had the good fortune to photograph Connie and Andy's wedding at the lovely Limpley Stoke Hotel, near Bath. The weather had been threatening to spoil the procedings, but as luck would have it, soon after the ceremony the rain dried up and we persuaded the guests to leave the warmth of the bar and come outside the hotel for some photographs. It was quite an intimate wedding with just close family and friends. Connie looked so beautiful and her dress was amazing and even though it was a dull damp day, she was happy to be photographed outside in the hotel grounds. Andy's very cheeky boys who were ushers and ring bearers were having a great time, and they really did look smart in their wedding suits ! I could tell that all the wedding guests were enjoying the day imensley and they were especially helpfull to me  all day.

The Wedding of Sarah and Ashley

We had a wonderful day on Saturday photographing the Wedding of Sarah and Ashley. The wedding took place at the picturesque village Church of St. Michael and All Angels in Urchfont, and the reception was at the beautiful Lackham House. Sarah was the perfect bride, and she looked gorgeous as did her bridesmaids. There was a surprise in store for the Bride and Groom outside the church, as their parents had arranged for some doves for them to release. At Lackham we managed to arrange all the guests on the lovely steps in the garden for a picture of everyone. We had a great time photographing most of the guests who were enjoying the colourful gardens and we shot some relaxed and fun shots of Sarah and Ashley all around the grounds. Needless to say we got some fine images around the ornamental pond and fountain, and near the pillars of the rosewalk. The speeches were great and Sarah's Dad's DVD of Sarah growing up and performing brought a few tears to the eye. Ashley had booked a wonderful  jazzy kind of band which went down so well, and their first dance ended with all the guests joining in. By the time we left, the party was in full swing.
