Deborah & Michael's Wedding at Taplow House Hotel

Today's wedding update is from the gorgeous wedding of Deborah and Michael hosted by Taplow House Hotel. This is the definition of a fun, family filled wedding with multiple generations of family enjoying the glorious sunshine and grounds. After a humanist service with some very special ribbon knot tying, everyone joined in congratulating the happy couple on the terrace. The surprise of the day was Deborah's horse had been specially brought down to share in the celebrations and hog the limelight (and the polos) for a bit. After the reception the wedding breakfast began with a pass the parcel game and to help guests mingle everyone was given a playing card and had to find the holder of the corresponding card and get to know them. Line dancing, a barbecue and a picture booth continued the celebration in the same vein it had started, no doubt ending in the small hours.

Claire & Dan's wedding at Wotton House

Todays update is from the beautiful wedding of Claire and Dan held at the gorgeous Wotton House in Dorking. Claire got ready at the Brookwood hotel which helped continue the car theme for the morning as a varied selection of Lotus's and Maserati's arrived to whisk the bride and her entourage to Wotton House. Once there the lovely couple celebrated a very personal and emotional wedding service in the Old Library (what a fabulous room this is!). Once wed it was outside to enjoy the sunshine and explore the vast grounds. Wotton House has some lovely features including grand views, a hidden cave and roman style temples, all of which made for some great picture opportunities. It was then onto the wedding breakfast followed by speeches and once complete everyone went back outside to enjoy the evenings cooler temperatures and all photographers favourite magic hour light. As the sun faded the dancing began to end a perfect day.

Jo & Alex's Wedding at Birling Manor, East Dean, Eastbourne

Todays update is from the beautiful wedding of Jo and Alex who were married at Birling Manor in East Dean, Eastbourne. Birling Manor is a lovely sprawling and rustic venue full of charm with views across the fields to the coastline. Jo got ready with her bridesmaids in a cottage just up the road with Alex waiting at the manor for her arrival. An emotional service followed in the barn and then it was outside for a long reception in the gardens complete with BBQ. It's always nice to see previous couples whose weddings I have photographed and I was delighted to be able to catch up with not one but two of them at this wedding. As the light closed in and after the food and speeches it was back inside the barn to begin the party in style.
