I met with Lee and Geraint at The Crown Hotel, Blandford Forum to discuss their sophisticated Black and White themed wedding. The ceremony was to take place at St.Michaels & All Angels Church, a beautiful church in the heart of Verwood with the Reception at Harbour Heights Hotel, Sandbanks.

Lee and Geraint's wedding took place on 1st May, 2010 - May Day. This was the same date that Lee's parents married, so they will share their wedding anniversary with her parents.

We began the wedding day by making our way to Branksome to take some Bridal preparation shots. I think it is lovely to have coverage for this part of the day as this is where the wedding really begins and the Groom can share these moments through the photographs.

As we arrived Lee was having the finishing touches made to her hair, which looked stunning and the Bridesmaids were having their make-up and hair carried out by the talented Bridal Treats.

I love Lee and Geraint's choice of Halter-neck Bridesmaids dresses from Karen Millen, which have elegant waistcoats bodices with a long flowing black skirt and a gorgeous low back with black and white bow. The Bridesmaids also had corsages with white roses and purple flowers, which was a lovely touch.

Before leaving the Bridal party we took some small group shots in the garden- just as the sun came out! We then made our way to St.Michaels and All Angels Church in Verwood to see how the Boys were getting on! The Groom, Best Man and Ushers were looking very dapper in Black suits and Bow ties. Guest were arriving and making their way into the church to await the arrival of the Bride.

The Bride arrived with her father in a beautiful Black and White vintage car, with a floral shower in white and purple by Signature Flowers , Lilliput, Poole.

We then went off to Sandbanks Beach for some relaxed and romantic shots of the newly weds. Our couple shoot is a great time for Husband and Wife to escape from their wedding guests for a few minutes and share some time together before joining the wedding party at their Reception.

We headed for Harbour Heights Hotel, which is a stunning Hotel with views over looking Poole Harbour and Brownsea Island. The Harbour Heights has a very modern and stylish feel and was perfect for Lee and Geraint's sophisticated wedding and what better way to welcome guests than with a cocktail! Lee and Geraint hired a professional team of mixologists who made a variety of colourful cocktails, including flaming cocktails. This was certainly a spectacle for all the wedding guests and then fun lasted throughout the evening.

We took some Group shots on the patio and in the gardens of the wedding guests, family and friends before leaving the party to enjoy their wedding Breakfast. We had the opportunity to help ourselves to the Buffet and desert and the food was simply divine! So thank you to Lee, Geraint and the staff at Harbour Heights for that! We then joined Guests, while the speeches began....

The evening celebrations began with the cutting of the largest wedding cake I have ever seen, what a feature for the reception Room!

Lee and Geraint share their First Dance as Husband and Wife, with some impressive dance moves!

We left the celebrations and guests to dance the night away!

We hope Lee and Geraint had a fabulous time in Dubai and The Maldives on their Honeymoon.
