Folkestone, Kent | The Wedding of Clare & Tony

Sunday, August 8, 2010

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

Killerton House, Devon | The Wedding of Kate & Marcus

Sunday, August 1, 2010

This weekend I was just down the road once again photographing Kate & Marcus wedding at Bradninch Church followed by their reception at the stunning Killerton House bringing with them family from across the UK and also from across the pond in Canada.
This weekend was a refreshing change from the last few weeks as the vicar was brilliant, had the congregation laughing and joining in and let me do my thing with the photos, even suggesting I position myself in places I usually have to beg other vicars for… Kate travelled to the church in a stunning white Rolls Royce with her proud dad and looked fabulous.
Once the ceremony was over we travelled to the reception at Killerton house where we did things a little out of the norm which was nice. The guests were all treated to an afternoon tea or sandwiches and scones, followed by the speeches and then we proceeded with the family photos before tucking into the main meal of the day – a Hog Roast… Oh boy did that smell good.. All in all I have to say it worked quite well… I hope you had a good party guy’s, have a fab honeymoon in Canada and I’ll see you when you get back

Escott Church & Reed Hall, Exeter | The Wedding of Francine & Andrew

Sunday, July 25, 2010

This weekend i was at the lovely Escott Church near Ottery St Mary for the wedding of Francine & Andrew. As you can see from the pictures this was yet another fun filled day, especially with Christian, the best man and his antics. Francine & Andrew brought with them friends and family from as far afield as the south of France & Wales and i have to say how kind it was of Francine’s family to bring us some of their sunshine, if they could just leave some here when they return that would be even better. An amazing day was had by all, well all except for the 30 mins Best Man speech where Andrew was a contestant on a ‘This is your life / Who wants to be a millionaire’ game thought up by the best Man, absolutely brilliant, totally unique and hilarious… well for us..

Buckerell Lodge, Exeter | The Wedding of Lisa & Ian

Monday, July 19, 2010

This weekend I was over at Bovey Church for Lisa & Ian’s wedding followed by their reception in Exeter at Buckerell Lodge. The day started off at Lisa’s parents where it was amazingly calm. It was lovely to again meet up with Justine from Finishing Touch who, as always, did an amazing job with the make up. It wasn’t until after the makeup that I got to see the dress and WOW, Lisa had a stunning Ian Stuart dress from The Bridal Rooms of Wellswood boutique in Torquay. I believe they also did the custom made jewelry matching the design of her dress perfectly. Then it was onto the boy’s who were treated to the biggest Sausage & Egg sandwich I’ve ever seen by Ian’s mum, honestly it was a foot long!
As mentioned the ceremony was at Bovey Tracey church where unfortunately I couldn’t get many photos of the ceremony due to restrictions imposed by the vicar… and for those that follow my blog yes it was another lady vicar.. That said I did manage to charm her into letting me photograph Lisa walking down the aisle and as long as i stood still at the back i could take a couple from there so all was not totally lost
Thankfully the good weather remained while we travelled back to Exeter for the reception at the Buckerell Lodge Hotel on Topsham Road. There the guests played garden games and chilled in the stunning lawns soaking up the atmosphere and sunshine. Think I’ve waffled on enough now, I know all you want to do really is to look at the piccies so here they are
