Rebecca and Sebastien's wedding took place on the 29th May 2010 at the Salterns Harbourside Hotel in Lilliput, Poole. Their venue had outstanding views across Poole Harbour, which can be seen from the ceremony room itself and the hotel gardens back right on to the waterside. It's the perfect setting for a relaxed wedding!

We began the day with Rebecca up in the Bridal Suite where she was making final preparations. Rebecca looked gorgeous in her wedding dress and I loved her matching crystal bead necklace and tiara.

Sebastien is French and Rebecca has many Spanish friends so the wedding was a great opportunity for friends and family from overseas to reunite and celebrate Rebecca and Sebastien's special day, which they shared with their beautiful daughter Amélie. We had plenty of translators on hand to help co-ordinate the photographs and everybody was very excited to see each other again. There were lots of babies amongst the guests, which made it a lovely family celebration.

The wedding took place in the VIP Lounge and Amélie joined in with the service; she was very interested in her dad's button hole and her Gerbera Daisy posy. By the end tof the ceremony the Gerbera daisy had lost all it's petals :)

Once the ceremony had finished guests made their way into the bar area where they toasted the wedding with champagne. We then braved the windy weather for some group shots in the gardens and were lucky that the clouds cleared.

As we were a stone's throw away from Sanbanks Beach, we took the opportunity to take some more relaxed and romantic shots of the newly weds on the beach. These are my favourite images of the day. Rebecca and Sebastien were very natural in front of the camera and were great fun to work with.

Rebecca and Sebastien had a navy blue and sunshine yellow colour theme, which looked really smart and the yellows really stood out amongst the blues.

The Brownsea Suite was decorated with white lilies in glass bowls at the centre of each table and navy blue sashes on the backs of the chairs. We left Rebecca and Sebastien to enjoy their Wedding Breakfast and the evening party which followed.
