Hotel Du Vin, Poole-Chic Boutique Hotel Wedding

February 1st, 2010.

I first met with Jayne and Alan to discuss their wedding plans at Hotel Du Vin just a couple of weeks before their big day.  Their wedding was to be a small party of close family and friends.  The wedding was to be relaxed, casual and sophisticated.  A glorified dinner party, with a wedding to start.

On the 23rd January the big day had arrived, we arrived in Poole’s Old Town and made our way to the boutique Hotel Du Vin. Before we went up to the Bridal Suite, Dom Perignon we were sure to make the most of capturing the beautiful interiors and décor at the Hotel.

Champagne was cooling on ice as the open fire was lit in the Crows nest ready for the arrival of the guests.

We met with Jayne and her mother to take some shots of the final preparations before they made their way to the ceremony in the ‘Port’ Room

Couples began to arrive and check in to their luxurious rooms and make their way to the cosy Crows nest where they drank Champagne and mingled.  Jazz music played in the dimly lit room, which really created a relaxing and classy atmosphere.

We took some relaxed shots of The Groom, Alan, his Best Man and Sons at the Bar, you can always be sure to find the groom within a short distance of the Bar.

The guests made their way into the ceremony room and awaited the arrival of the Bride. Jayne’s son, Alex walked her down the aisle towards an already tearful Groom!

The ceremony was filled with emotion, tears and laughter all round, with beautiful readings and vows, Jayne and Alan where now Husband and Wife.

After the ceremony the drinks continues, with canapés, which looked divine.  A guitar player played smooth jazzy tunes whilst everyone laughed, danced and shared their congratulations for the newly weds.

We disappeared with Jayne and Alan to make use of the beautiful features the Hotel has to offer for their ‘Couple Shoot’.

After more dancing and chatting everyone made their way back up to the Port room which had been transformed ready for the Wedding breakfast.  Here we left Jayne and Alan to enjoy the rest of their evening with their nearest and dearest.
