Caitriona & Rich’s Wedding at the Longhouse, Somerset
Caitriona & Rich got married at one of my favourite wedding venues, the Eco-friendly Longhouse in Somerset. It was early April and a beautiful Spring day in the countryside. With a relaxed day planned they chose to have their portraits before the wedding ceremony and met in the garden for a romantic ‘first look’ before heading off around Bruton for some photos. Seeing each other before the wedding is a break from tradition, but by arranging a set up First Look, you can share a moment much more intimate than at the altar in front of everyone. You can then do your portraits without missing the party and spend more time with your guests during the reception. Its something I would encourage all my brides and grooms to consider and I hope these photos show what a nice idea it is.
Anyway, back to the wedding, and the morning’s non-traditional meeting did not take any of the magic away from the lovely ceremony. After the marriage everyone went out into the gardens for Pimms and canapes. During the drinks reception the happy couple stepped away from the party and took a private moment together to sip champagne. Meanwhile the room was set up for the wedding breakfast, with handmade daffodil and grass table centres and chocolate brownie wedding cake. Caitriona put loads of hard work into making things for the wedding, growing the daffs for the table centres and stringing up bright felt bunting and even knitting the bouquets and buttonholes.
Into the evening and guests danced to the Ceilidh band and when darkness fell a small group ventured into the field and released chinese lanterns which was a beautiful end to my day. Here is a selection of photos from their beautiful wedding day. Congratulations Rich & Caitriona!

Lisa & Gordon’s springtime Surrey wedding
Lisa & Gordon were married at St Andrews Garrison church in Aldershot, with the reception at the Bush Hotel in Farnham, Surrey. When I met with them last year, Gordon was living and working in England while Lisa was living over in Ireland. They were spending their weekends back and forth between both homes, and trying to organise a wedding aswell, which must have been no easy task. But like all good love stories, their relationship has stood the test and they made it to the wedding with big plans for the future. Gordon recently gave up his job and home in England and is moving for a new life in Ireland with his wife. Hows that for a happy ever after? Best of luck with your new life Gordon and Lisa, many congratulations!
Here’s how their day went…

Sneak Peek: Rich & Caitriona’s wedding at the Longhouse, Somerset
I spent a great day in Somerset yesterday shooting Rich & Caitriona’s Spring wedding at the Longhouse in Bruton. They chose to do a ‘first look’ where they met before the ceremony, which was pretty special, and made for a very relaxed day, having done the portraits before the wedding. During the afternoon drinks reception the newly weds took 5 minutes away from everyone else for some champagne and a moment together. This is one of my favourite shots, ‘papped’ from behind the daffodils.
More photos, including that ‘first look’ when they are back from Honeymoon…

Last weekend I photographed Lisa and Gordon’s lovely Springtime wedding in Surrey. Can’t believe I haven’t posted a sneak peek yet, so here’s one of the happy couple hanging out in the flower bed, with me climbing on the wall. Well it’s Spring, there had to be some blossom involved somewhere.

Angela & Stephen’s Stanwell House Wedding
Angela and Stephen got married at Stanwell House in April. The Lymington hotel is a perfect setting for a smaller wedding, with funky boutique interiors, elegant dining and sunny gardens. After a relaxed morning Angela still managed to be a good 10 minutes late coming downstairs, but Stephen managed to hold his nerves. The beautiful ceremony was held in the conservatory, Angela was given away by her sister Amy (not a confusing day for me at all!) After the ceremony everyone enjoyed pimms in the garden before sitting down for some of that awesome Stanwell House food. Angela had the most gorgeous pink David Austin Roses in her bouquet and the single long table was laid with pink and cream roses and candlesticks. Angela and Stephen did their first dance to Jet ‘Are you going to be my girl’ so none of that embarrassed shuffling round the dancefloor to kick off the evenings disco. A fun, light hearted and relaxed day, I think exactly what they wanted, and I know I always say it, but great couple! Congratulations to you both x
