Wedding at Emsworth Beach and The Brookfield Hotel

Norman and Mirka had fantastic weather for their wedding by the sea in Emsworth.

Bridal prep was in Mirka's home which was full to the brim with her family who had travelled from abroad to see her get married. Despite being so full of people, it was a wonderfully happy, relaxed and organised prep - the perfect start to what would turn out to be a perfect day.

Norman and Mirka were married in Holy Trinity Blendworth church...

...then it was waving good by to their guests...

 ...on their way to their Reception.

But before joining their guests, Norman and Mirka stopped off at the beach in Emsworth.

It's a beautiful place and a great favourite of their's and it was an absolute delight to photograph them as they enjoyed a few moments at one of their favourite places, for the first time as Man and Wife.

The weather was absolutely ideal, even the tide was in at exactly the right time for them.

Then they travelled just a few minutes up the road to their Reception venue, The Brookfield, Emsworth

 For a few more photographs in the rose garden before they went in for food, speeches...

 ...and the cake cut - and it was the most exquisite of cakes with the most amazing flowers crafted from sugar.

Norman and Mirka had the people around them that were special to them and they spent the day in the places that were special to them too.

It was a really happy day and they were blessed with perfect weather.

Norman and Mirka were an absolutely wonderful bride and groom and we are so happy to have been part of their day. We wish them many years of happiness together.

Romantic Theatricals at Warbrook

Nick and Charlotte had a wonderfully romantic Spring wedding at Warbrook. Both Nick and Charlotte were into the theatre, in fact it's how they met, and many of their guests were into it too...

...including Nick's three Best Men, and it made for a fantastically fun day.

Charlotte's Dad was justifiably the proudest man at their wedding...

...and Nick's Best Men were some of the funniest men at their wedding.

Nick and Charlotte were welcomed down the Warbrook steps to confetti and bubbles...

...then it was group shots in the sun...

...then inside for drinks, canapés and amazing magic by the fabulous professional magician Sean Boon.

Then it was back outside for some romantic portraits in the sun...

...in the magnificent Warbrook grounds.

Then it was inside for their meal...

...and amazingly funny speeches.

The Boys were a great bunch and full of crazy stories from their Stag weekend.

One such story explained the significance of this twenty pence piece.

The Boys were overwhelmed with emotion when they saw Nick's wedding ring.

The bench that Charlotte is sat on in this photo is destined for their garden and is signed with good wishes from their guests. As you can see, Charlotte is posing beautifully for the cameras...and Nick isn't.

Even more strange expressions were the order of the day in their photo-booth.

But when it came to the First Dance it was grace and elegance and romance all the way.

Nick and Charlotte were absolutely fantastic together and they thoroughly enjoyed their day. It was a wedding full of fun and laughter and affection...and it was an absolute joy to be part of it.

Awesome Weather & Awesome Venues - Southbourne & Goodwood Wedding

Colin and Karen had the most fantastic day for their Spring wedding. They were married in Southbourne Church and then they moved to Goodwood for some romantic portraits and their reception.

But first Karen had the talents of professional make up artist Natasha Wiggins to make her look perfect...

 ...whilst Colin was in the garden with his Dad, who seemed to be in a celebratory mood, at the thought of getting rid of him?

The Boys all had their own but matching cufflinks.

 ...and the girls looked amazing and ready to rock.

 Colin was delighted when he first saw Karen walking up the aisle to him.

Then it was into the sun for a blizzard of confetti...

 ...and more photographs in the sun. Then it was off to Goodwood...

 

Goodwood House is an epic location...

...perfect for a romantic portrait session

...and so grand and elegant...

Colin and Karen really enjoyed each other's company and it was amazing to photograph them in such an awesome location...

 ...and the weather was perfect.

They had their reception and party at the Goodwood Hotel, just round the corner from Goodwood House and they couldn't have asked for a better venue.

It was a awesome day in every way: the weather, the venues, the people...and most of all, Colin and Karen themselves. They were an awesome bride and groom.

Congratulations to them both and we were so pleased to have been part of their day

A Glorious Spring Wedding at Rhinefield

 It was a glorious Spring day for John and Hayley's wedding at Rhinefield House, there was hardly a cloud in the sky.

The Boys took advantage of the sunny weather walking the grounds before the ceremony...

...then it was off to start their wedding duties, including looking after John and Hayley's amazing rings.

 Their guests almost filled Rhinefield to capacity...

 ...there were so many in fact that it was a great opportunity to form them all into a stunning heart shape and simultaneously showing off the grandeur Rhinefield's substantial grounds in glorious Spring sunshine.

Not only was the weather perfect but the Spring blossom had come out and provided the most romantic backdrop a couple could wish for.

 It was so early in the year that the leaves had not yet come out in this tunnel of trees but that didn't stop John and Hayley enjoying a stolen moment alone.

Then it was inside for food and speeches.

 They enjoyed another stolen moment in Rhinefield's wonderful gazebo...

 ...before it was time to cut their amazing four tier cake actually made by Hayley herself...

 ...and then the First Dance as man and wife.

John and Hayley clearly enjoyed each other's company so much it was a joy and a privilege to photograph their day and nobody could have asked for better weather with which to celebrate their most fabulous wedding.
