The wedding is taking place in the New Forest and I know that it’s going to be a great occasion and one I look forward to as both are really fun to work with !

The two of them along with both families and friends were fantastic though, no complaints about the icy conditions with everyone showing great patience and having fun whilst I went about my work capturing the key moments of the day, they both had a continuous smile on their faces and I would like to thank them both for that.

The ceremony took place at the Bournemouth town hall and was watched back in Australia by friends and family via a live video link (cool !), we then went on to the Old Beams In Ringwood for the reception which provided a lovely backdrop being an old thatched building which was still covered with a sprinkling of snow.

First off it was round to Sarah’s mums for some detail shots of the flowers and the brides dress both of which were absolutely gorgeous , photos were also taken of Sarah getting ready and of her three beautiful bridesmaids as well as Mum and Dad.

Both Tony and Sarah were brilliant all day, really happy to wander around Parley Manor with me allowing us to get some lovely shots taking in all the nice backdrops the venue has to offer, best wishes for the future and I hope you have a cracking honeymoon.

Karen’s family and friends were over from South Africa and along with Duncan’s family a great atmosphere was created, with one or two good natured jibes referring to the recent success of the springboks in the rugby at the expense of the english !!!

Christchurch harbour provided a lovely backdrop for the photography and amazingly I was again blessed with a sunny day.

The gardens at the venue were in terrific shape giving some great backdrops for the photos and having photographed Dan and Donna previously for their engagement shoot, I knew that they would both be at ease in front of the camera for their Wedding.

Engagement portrait shoots are something I offer with all of my packages and it really does help both myself and the clients to get a taste of the sort of things that will happen on their big day, we have a bit of fun and they become more relaxed in front of the camera as lets be honest most of us can be a bit shy in front of the lens…especially me !!!

Looking back at the photos I hope that it shows we had a comfortable and fun relationship with each other, they both relaxed and just enjoyed what was there special day and it reflects in their photos.

After the ceremony we started off with some photos in the garden at the front of the hotel and then made our way down to the beach for nice shots before returning back to the hotel where everybody relaxed whilst I got some informal shots of the guests.

The speeches were a great laugh with some hilarious stories and even a photo book from Richard’s stag do In Barcelona appeared showing him In some “revealing outfits”…haha !!!

The day finished for me late into the evening after I had covered the first dance, all the best to the happy couple and I hope you are having a great honeymoon.

The venue is a wonderful spot with views over Poole harbour and over to Brownsea Island, the happy couple have jetted off  down under for their honeymoon, I wish you a wonderful time guys.

The day went really well with superb weather, the happy couple had a great time and I wish them both every happiness for the future.
