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.  photo dm_01_zpsc0a51bd1.jpg  photo dm_02_zpsfe903618.jpg  photo dm_03_zpscf0d1bed.jpg  photo dm_04_zps84753bc2.jpg  photo dm_05_zps30e4828f.jpg  photo dm_06_zps0c855377.jpg  photo dm_07_zps0d159d6c.jpg  photo dm_08_zps58dbb6c1.jpg  photo dm_09_zps1d3cbb77.jpg  photo dm_10_zps997c7a4e.jpg  photo dm_11_zps254cc5d1.jpg  photo dm_12_zps451c2859.jpg  photo dm_13_zps5f1e0d95.jpg  photo dm_14_zpsde374414.jpg  photo dm_15_zpsb2afd791.jpg  photo dm_16_zpscb174119.jpg  photo dm_17_zps90bd237c.jpg

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.  photo cd_01_zpsdb317f66.jpg  photo cd_02_zps57a4a03d.jpg  photo cd_03_zpsadb1f5fd.jpg  photo cd_04_zps87b2e49f.jpg  photo cd_05_zps184404a8.jpg  photo cd_06_zps64da623c.jpg  photo cd_07_zps16e16bbf.jpg  photo cd_08_zpsa43efb4b.jpg  photo cd_10_zps5fc4e587.jpg  photo cd_11_zps8dc6abcb.jpg  photo cd_12_zps10fc5fce.jpg  photo cd_13_zpsdf6daf0a.jpg  photo cd_14_zps48db14d1.jpg  photo cd_15_zpse89ad77c.jpg  photo cd_16_zpsb282d2da.jpg  photo cd_17_zps0977925c.jpg  photo cd_18_zps79a5231d.jpg  photo cd_19_zps594da1fb.jpg  photo cd_20_zps1ceafe49.jpg  photo cd_21_zps2a597ce1.jpg  photo cd_22_zpsd704263d.jpg

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.  photo jo_01_zps3a289804.jpg  photo jo_02_zpsd119e110.jpg  photo jo_03_zpsccff8d4a.jpg  photo jo_04_zps728d299d.jpg  photo jo_05_zps63047de4.jpg  photo jo_06_zps11462ce8.jpg  photo jo_07_zpsdb971304.jpg  photo jo_08_zpse4363b4d.jpg  photo jo_09_zpsf9bc1a0c.jpg  photo jo_10_zps522ee0ac.jpg  photo jo_11_zpsa92ab591.jpg  photo jo_12_zps9a423fcc.jpg  photo jo_13_zps492c93dd.jpg  photo jo_15_zpsa2ae83d8.jpg  photo jo_16_zpsbb20c8a0.jpg  photo jo_17_zps8b03eb14.jpg  photo jo_18_zps67face6e.jpg  photo jo_19_zpsb7a25c93.jpg  photo jo_20_zpsdc618a18.jpg  photo jo_21_zpsfaa2a688.jpg
