Orchardleigh House, Somerset | The Hindu Wedding of Sheila & Alastair Pt1

This weekend I was up at the stunning Orchardleigh House for a 2 day wedding. On Friday it was part one which is a traditional Hindu ceremony and tomorrow it will be the Christian part. I’ve been looking forward to this for a while now as I was expecting it to be full of vibrant colour and as you can see I wasn’t disappointed. Sheila had her family from India, California and Dubai come over for her wedding and day one they were treated to some good old English mist and rain… What a shame. However, this didn’t dampen the spirits and the ceremony was held indoors. I absolutely loved this ceremony, the Hindu priest was excellent and put a lot of our own priests to shame.

Orchardleigh House, Somerset | The Wedding of Sheila & Alastair Pt2

Phew, after Sheila & Alastair’s amazing Hindu ceremony today yesterday i was back at Orchardleigh House in Somerset for part 2 of their wedding, the Christian part. Sheila was carried from Orchardleigh House down to the All Saints church in nearby Lullington in a stunning vintage Rolls Royce. The church being quite a quaint little church was full to capacity with all of their 135 or so guests all waiting to set eye’s on Sheila and her wedding dress. Following the ceremony it was back to Orchardleigh House where the drinks reception was waiting for them and their guests. Thankfully despite the forecasts the weather stayed dry and even though a large number of the guests were still up and partying at 4am the previous morning everyone was having a ball :)

The first dance kicked off at around 9pm and from there the party went instantly into full swing, although i was only there for another 20 mins of so it was obvious that it was going to be another late one… good times :)

Langdon Court Hotel, Plymouth | The Wedding of Leanne & Ed.

For the second of my weddings this weekend i was down at the Langdon Court Hotel, Nr Plymouth for the wedding of Leanne & Ed. I started off at the China Fleet Golf & Country Club where i photographed Leanne and the bridesmaids getting ready before heading off to Botus Fleming Church to get some of the boy’s before the ceremony. Leanne couldn’t stop smiling all morning and was as cool as a cucumber, not a nerve in sight :) . Back at Langdon we were treated to some sunshine while we took some photos before heading in. Evening entertainment was with a local band who sounded awesome, the dance floor was packed as i left, a perfect way to top of a great day :)

Folkestone, Kent | The Wedding of Clare & Tony

Phew! This weekend i’ve been a right busy beever with 2 weddings either side of the country! My first wedding was for good friends of mine Clare & Tony Nr Folkstone in Kent. I first met Tony around 10 years ago when i worked for the BBC in London and can remember hearing him go on about this girl he’d met called Clare on our night shifts together…and here they are, now husband and wife… Woohoo :) .
Clare & Tony are the first couple to get married in this church in 10 years, the church has been derelict fora long time and they had to request special permission from the Arch Bishop of Canterbury to get married here… Clare, Tony and all of their friends pulled together cleaning the church floors and decorating it for the last couple of weeks and it looked perfect.. It has such character, as soon as i saw it i realised why they wanted to get married her so badly… I’m not going to waffle on too much for now as i know all you want to do really is look at the piccies and i’m exhausted so here they are :)
