Jess & Chris’ Wedding at the Silent Woman in Wareham

Who couldn’t love a cosy autumnal wedding in a pub in Dorset?

Jess and Chris totally nailed making their wedding all about them. No fuss, no messing about – just great food, plenty of drink and a good bunch of people.

The ceremony was so cosy that I had to contort myself into some interesting positions. Pretty sure my second photographer managed to snap a few shots of me playing Twister all by myself.

We were all treated to a ukulele trio playing some bangers on the dancefloor which certainly kept everyone entertained. Well, I’m pretty sure they were great as my ears were still ringing from the confetti cannons firing right over my head!

Thanks so much for having us guys!

I'm getting married too!

Hayley & Dan’s Autumnal Sopley Mill Wedding

Well well well – where to even begin?

Sopley Mill is a great little venue and I’m lucky to have it so nearby. So much opportunity for cool stuff as it’s so varied and has such a great little charm about it.

We started the day in the bridal suite with the beautiful light pouring through the window. Hayley was a half-way-house between being totally cool and bouncing around with nervous excitement.

Dan was without his signature hat, which was a little upsetting but I got over it. The ceremony was a total tear-jerker. Hardly a dry eye in the room. Sanity was restored after the ceremony when he was reunited with it. Phew!

The entire day was so chilled, with plenty of garden games out the front for the kids and more than enough drinks to go around. And oh my God, THAT sunset.

We were halfway through the speeches when I spotted it from the window and I was already planning our escape from the top floor to get down and in front of that incredible sky.

What a perfect end to the already stunning day! Big up to Hayley and Dan for having us – I knew it was going to be a good’n after the engagement session and it totally lived up to all expectations!

Krissy & Grant’s Wedding At The Italian Villa

Kicked things off at an absolutely stunning Airbnb just down the road from The Italian Villa in Canford Cliffs. Krissy was as relaxed as ever – and we even had a chance to tuck into some breakfast while all of the getting ready shenanigans were in place.

Grant was similarly as relaxed with the guys up at the venue, greeting all of the guests as they arrived and pretending he was helping with the setup.

Everyone was in high spirits as the drinks flowed with an incredibly coloured backdrop over the water. I’ve shot at The Italian Villa a few times before but somehow never had the opportunity to properly explore the gardens, but we went on a little adventure this time and discovered a pretty serious amount of bamboo which always looks the part.

Food was…well…awesome. Trying to remember the last time I had lobster for dinner at a wedding! Pretty sure it’s never happened before.

Dance floor was absolute carnage and tequila was going down pretty easily. Thanks so much for having us guys!

Lauren & Nathan’s Wedding At Meadow Tree Farm

Sometimes all you need is a pretty location, a great bunch of people and a whole load of imagination. That’s exactly what Lauren and Nathan did and what they were able to create was nothing short of incredible.

A few unfortunately circumstances wasn’t stopping these two from having their special day – having brought their wedding forward a year due to work commitments.

I’ve never been to Meadow Tree Farm in Hampshire before but this place is seriously cool – nestled in the woods with plenty of relatively untouched awesomeness.

I’ve developed a real soft spot for humanist ceremonies. They’re so personal and genuine – there’s not much that can top it, other than a humanist ceremony outside in the forest – so Lauren and Nathan did a pretty good job on that front.

The whole day was just so much fun and chock-a-block full of personal touches. I mean come on, we even had personalised picnic hampers!

I knew their wedding was going to be a good’n after their engagement session last year and these two certainly didn’t disappoint – Lauren and Nathan are clearly made for each other and there were more than a few glassy eyes among the guests.

Roberta & Mikes Wedding at Rockbeare Manor

I like Disney as much as the next person – I mean, who doesn’t love Ratatouille? But Roberta and Mike really do take this to the next level.

When I heard that their wedding was going to be chock-a-block full of Disney and other ‘geeky’ television references – not going to lie, I was a little worried that I’d be able to take ‘moody’ enough shots of Donald Duck’s big colourful head.

However, what Roberta and Mike managed to do was create something truly awesome – maintaining an incredible level of class, elegance and most importantly, personality. I mean come on, there was even a TARDIS in the lobby (built by the awesome Bren Carter)!

Can I just say that Rockbeare Manor really is a spectacular venue. There’s a first time for everything and this place really didn’t disappoint.

Roberta and Mike’s are an absolute dream to photograph. They’re just so unbelievably comfortable together and totally up for anything to get the shot. I knew it was going to be a good’n after the awesomeness of their engagement session up on Glastonbury Tor!

Big up to Mike for the shot idea on the balcony before the ceremony. It’s going to hurt every time I have to tell someone that this wasn’t all me!

The evening was an eclectic mix of Disney/Ska bangers played by the one and only Dizney Rascal. Try and spot the kid that was CLEARLY loving it…

Thanks so much for having us guys – we absolutely LOVED every moment of it (especially the cake).

Lucy & Dhiran’s Indian Wedding at Kingston Maurward House

*RIDICULOUSLY BEAUTIFUL WEDDING ALERT*

Lucy and Dhiran’s wedding at the stunning Kingston Maurward House in Dorset was, for lack of a better word, ridonculous.

What’s could possibly be better than an outdoor civil ceremony in the gardens right on the water? Oh yeah, a beautifully ornate Hindu ceremony for dessert!

With so much going on, my second photographer spent most of the morning chasing Dhiran around Kingston Maurward as he effectively delegated a whole load of tasks to his friends and family. Things were a little more relaxed at Lucy’s parents house!

Both ceremonies were absolutely stunning and it’s always good fun shooting a Hindu ceremony as there’s just so much culture to absorb and document! We even managed to squeeze in some croquet lessons beforehand – whoever would have thought?

Thanks so much for having us guys, we had an absolute blast!

I'm getting married too!
