Horsebridge Railway Station, Stockbridge, Hampshire | Wedding Preview| Hannah & Simon

Hannah & Simon got married at Highfield Church in Southampton and held their reception at Horsebridge Railway Station in Stockbridge, Hampshire.

Hannah & Simon's day was beautiful despite the rain! It was relaxed, fun and full of personal touches. Hannah looked gorgeous in her Ian Stuart wedding dress with grey detailing.

Horsebridge Railway Station is such an unusual and quirky venue and I can't wait to share more from Hannah & Simon's day!

Larmer Tree Gardens Wedding | Kate & Jonathan|

We first met Kate & Jonathan for their pre wedding shoot at The King John Inn in Tollard Royal to find out more about their plans and we took a wander around the beautiful countryside that surrounds the Larmer Tree Gardens. They had chosen the venue after visiting the Larmer Tree Festival, which is held there every year and which we went to for the first time just yesterday! I can recommend it.

On the morning of Kate & Jonathan's wedding, Scott and I arrived at The Beckford Arms, a boutique hotel in the Wiltshire countryside.  Here preparations were underway and Kate and her Bridesmaids were busy getting their hair and make-up done by the talented girls at Bridal Treats.

I caught a glimpse of sequins through Kate's dress cover and knew that it had to be a Jenny Packham number.  I was right and it was beautiful! A 1920's style embellished dress over a silver slip.  Kate also had a pair of gorgeous 1920's styled shoes and a sparkly Jenny Packham hair comb to compliment her finger wave hairdo.

We arrived at the Larmer Tree Gardens where as always we were greeted by the resident peacocks first as they keep watch on guests arriving (they are very nosey!)  we then met Jonathan looking dapper in his grey suit, whist greeting guests. Guests were making their way through the gardens to the Pavilion, where the ceremony was taking place.

Following the ceremony the couple took a spin in their wedding car whist everyone made their way onto the lawn for drinks & canapés and of course to play garden games! Kate & Jonathan pulled up outside the Singing Theatre before we took a stroll with them around the gardens, where they kept breaking into dance as their favourite songs played.

Following their wedding breakfast their friends made their way onto the stage outside to perform their set, which included 90's classic love ballads & as the rain came out their very own rendition of Umbrella by Rhianna.  The boys improvisational skills had everyone laughing and had Kate & Jonathan in hysterics!  Despite the rain more guests gathered under umbrellas for the evening entertainment, which turned into a mini festival of their own! We hope you enjoy the photos!

Olympic Games Themed Wedding | The Langton Arms, Dorset| Jenny & Sam

You may remember Jenny and Sam from their engagement shoot on Sandbanks Beach in Poole.  Jenny & Sam got married at Jenny's family church in Broadstone, Poole just down the road from her parent's house.

We started the day with Jenny & the Bridesmaids before making our way to St John's church where we met Sam and the boys.  Jenny & Sam's friends had been given video camera's to help document the day from Shoot it yourself, they had a lot of fun filming throughout the day!

Jenny & Sam's marquee wedding reception was held at The Langton Arms, a beautiful thatched pub in the Dorset countryside.  Jenny had spent months making bunting, 'Just Married' cushions, and her own wedding cake (including all the little individual daisies which decorate the cake) , the marquee looked beautiful! Jenny & Sam are both sporty and so it seemed only right that their wedding incorporated sport in some way.  The table names were Olympic Winners, such as Christie, Gunnell & Redgrave and as you can see during the drinks reception the boys had fun having a kick about..there's always one that kicks it into the hedge!

Jenny & Sam's wedding took place on the Queen's Diamond Jubilee weekend, hence a special visit from her Royal Highness during the speeches.  We hope Jenny & Sam are enjoying their honeymoon in Costa Rica!
