After our exertions on Saturday, Sunday saw us setting off bright and early (well early anyway! ) heading for the spectacular Rhinefield house, tucked away in the New Forrest. This was our first visit to this beautiful venue and we can’t wait to go back again. Karen and her three bridesmaids were all pretty relaxed when we arrived. We reckoned Karen had planned the day perfectly judging by the time plan on the pin board. We were blown away by Karen’s dress. It was stunning ! and when Mum had laced her up expertly, she looked fabulous. The big surprise arrived outside the house, in the form of the wedding bug, a red and cream 23 Window Samba VW camper van. I think Karen had been wondering how she was going to get all that dress into Dad’s mini ! So bride and Dad arrived in style at the venue. The ceremony took place in the great hall and I managed to get some lovely pix without having to resort to using flash. Photographing the family and guests in the spacious gardens was a real pleasure, and there was enough time to set up some fun shots with all the girls and then the boys (when we could locate Will that is ! )
The bridesmaids were wearing amazing red dresses and we got some really fun pictures – thanks girls ! The best was yet to come as we were treated to some Morris dancing on the lawn after the wedding breakfast, and of course Matt and some of his mates were (easily) persuaded to join in the final dance. This involved waving big sticks, and surprisingly all their knuckles remained intact – just. When we had photographed the Bride and Grooms first dance and some of the guests too, we headed back to Wiltshire. What a tiring but very satisfying weekend it was, and we will do it all again next weekend !
