Susan and Harry got married on the 23rd July at The Hospital of St. Cross Church in Winchester.  The Church itself is an impressive building and is right by the water meadows on the edge of the city.  From the walled gardens in the grounds you can also see the famous landmark of St. Catherine's hill.

We started the day with Susan, her Mother and Bridesmaids at the Hotel Du Vin, which are always so beautifully decorated.  Susan has the best smile and was so excited whilst getting ready.

The guys were meeting at the pub just down the lane from the church and so Scott met them there before they made their way to the ceremony.  The Groomsmen all looked smart with their top hats and Harry in his Military Uniform. 

The ceremony was lovely, I especially liked the reading they had from 'Winnie the Pooh'. Following the ceremony guests milled in the walled gardens before making their way to Winchester Guildhall for Reception in Part II.

Helen and Paul love the sea and their wedding day included a drink reception with guests aboard 'The Purbeck Princes' following their Ceremony at Poole Guildhall Registry Office.

We began our wedding shoot in Poole Old Town’s traditional pub, ‘The Angel” which is conveniently situated opposite the Guildhall. Here we met with Paul, his brother, who was Best Man and the Ushers to take some casual shots.

It was our first wedding shoot at the Guildhall and since we met with Helen and Paul a month before their big day to take a look at the venue, we were very impressed! Built in 1769, this Grade-2 listed building had stood empty for 16 years. Now restored it’s former glory, Poole Guildhall now boasts a large ceremony room that can hold up to 120 guests. Making it "one of the gems in Poole's heritage".

Helen arrived with the bridesmaids in a stretched Limousine; Helen appeared from the car dressed in a stylish pale pink wedding dress, holding a beautiful pink bouquet to match- her face was beaming! The Bridesmaids were dressed in a cool blue grey dresses, which complimented the Bride perfectly.

The ceremony was charming and the interior of the Guildhall was both light and elegant, which made for some beautiful shots.

After the ceremony, the guests gathered on the steps of the Guildhall for their group shot, before we all headed for the Quay, where our boat was awaiting. We joined the congregation for an around the harbour trip. We even took some shots up on deck and were pleasantly surprised by the temperature.

The Purbeck Princess made its way back to Poole Quay - the trip was complete. The Reception Venue was only a stones throw away, situated on the Quayside- The Custom House seemed the perfect spot for a cosy evening to celebrate. Inside the decor was stunning, with candles, lime green anthuriums, cut limes and bright pink gerbera daises. It was very cosy!

The couple were to spend their first evening as Husband and Wife in the newly refurbished ‘Hotel du Vin’, which again is walking distance from the Quay! The Hotel du Vin, Poole is a luxury Georgian town house situated in the old town. The hotel offers a bistro, a well-stocked bar, as well as a wine cellar and Bothy Lodge.
