Paul and Katie's entire wedding was at Old Thorns near Liphook and...
...they had owls that flew down the aisle with their rings...
...posed for photographs...
...and flew back up the aisle to their handlers CSR Falconry, who we have to say are the very best at a wedding we've ever worked with.
The owls were not only pretty and well cared for but seemed so happy to be around the guests...
and loved being handled.
CSR Falconry stayed around after the ceremony so the guests could handle the owls and have photographs with them.
But, of course, their wedding had so much more to it than just the amazing owls. Katie had gorgeous shoes...
...and they had stunning rings.
Katie had her bridal prep in one of the rooms at Old Thorns
Katie is a hair-dresser and works in a salon with her friends. Most of her bridal party seemed to be hair-dressers too and at one time I'm sure I counted four of them working on her hair at once.
When it was all done...
...she looked absolutely stunning.
As well as owls, Paul and Katie had a fabulous harpist who really set the mood for the ceremony, in the new Old Thorns Chapel Room.
We all went out on a golf buggy to get some romantic portraits of them both.
They were lovely together.
They are a perfect match and they both looked amazing...
...and the weather was kind too. Just after this photograph it did start to rain and we needed to dash for the buggy, but the rain stopped as quickly as it started and it didn't interfere with the day at all.
Their cake was fabulous and the decor at the Old Thorns' Gatsby Bar is breath-taking.
We loved this little detail on the cake table.
We did some evening romantic photographs by the red telephone box...
...and in the covered walkway.
Then it was on to the First Dance on the amazing Gatsby Bar dance floor.
Paul and Katie are an absolutely amazing couple and it was a real pleasure sharing their fantastic day with them. We wish them a long and happy future together.
