Charlene & James, Wedding at Pembroke Lodge, Richmond

Todays update is from Charlene & James wedding at Pembroke Lodge in Richmond. A glorious sunny day greeted the happy couple and their guests and Richmond Park was the perfect place to enjoy it. The beautiful ceremony was held upstairs in the Russell Suite with views looking down across the park and afterwards it was outside to enjoy the gardens and hunt for shade. We found a lovely stretch of bluebells as a backdrop to some pictures and I'm told we were very lucky that the famous Wisteria was in full bloom on the outside of the lodge - this only happens for two weeks in every year which makes this wedding all the more unique. Charlene and James then made their way back to the Russell Suite for the wedding breakfast and some really great speeches. As evening approached everyone relaxed with a coffee and watched the sky change colour.  photo charlene_01_zpsa8d1d608.jpg  photo charlene_03_zps00dd816e.jpg  photo charlene_02_zps1daeed43.jpg  photo charlene_04_zpsc3ca1cf6.jpg  photo charlene_05_zpsdc575fd8.jpg  photo charlene_06_zps6ffae354.jpg  photo charlene_07_zps0db28ca5.jpg  photo charlene_08_zps146705f1.jpg  photo charlene_09_zps02487940.jpg  photo charlene_10_zpsdf46d79d.jpg  photo charlene_11_zps26eb558d.jpg  photo charlene_12_zpsa2c973ba.jpg  photo charlene_13_zps2fae0d48.jpg  photo charlene_14_zps549093a9.jpg  photo charlene_15_zpse7126f24.jpg  photo charlene_16_zps7ed5f22f.jpg  photo charlene_17_zpsa55b9373.jpg  photo charlene_18_zpsfe4028a5.jpg  photo charlene_19_zps3334f25c.jpg  photo charlene_20_zps77244508.jpg
