David and Jassy had their wedding at the church they regularly attend and were very serious about the spiritual side of their commitment. So we were delighted when we were presented with this sky, perfect for shooting a "blessed by heaven" classical portrait - so fitting for David and Jassy.
Jassy's bridal prep went without a flaw. Every detail tended to and perfectly executed. Then it was on to their church by New Forest pony and trap.
David and Jassy had their wedding reception at the fabulous Bartley Lodge Hotel in the New Forest.
The Bartley Lodge Hotel is such a good wedding venue for so many reasons but not least of which is the way it manages to be both a grand country house and at the same time intimate, welcoming and homely.
On arrival at the Bartley Lodge Hotel, their guests were treated to drinks on the patio and thrilled to see David and Jassy arrive in their pony and trap.
It was an absolute delight to see how close David and Jassy were together.
They had guests of all ages and even set up a Skype link during the speeches for Gran, who was sadly too unwell to attend.
The fabulous grounds included a substantial patio for drinks and socialising as well as beautiful tended to lawns for grown ups and youngsters alike to have fun playing garden games...but the grounds were big enough to also be able to sneak away and steal some moments alone.
After the perfect day, the evening was no less perfect...
...and their evening was even blessed with romantic moonlight.
For their evening celebrations, David and Jassy had a live band and very good it was too, energising the party like only live music seems to.
David and Jassy were a gorgeous bride and groom and they had the perfect day at an amazing venue...they were indeed truly blessed.
