Woodland and countryside

Tipi and toasting with the Power Puff girls

 

Stephanie and Alan’s day was full giggles and colour and was a treat to be a part of, made up of sugar and spice and everything nice and a little ‘POW’ of chilli.

So come with me as I walk you through this event.

 It began at this beautiful gin lover’s house as she was surrounded by friends and family while they started to get ready, hair and make-up were done, while her father and brother prepared the most wonderful brides breakfast and the colour pop flowers arrived, lovingly made by Sheila (Mother of the Groom).  The bridesmaids dressed in their BLACK dresses each with their own unique colour pop sash, matching shoes and accessories and someone mentioned they looked like Liquorish All sorts but we concluded much more Power Puff girls… It really worked regardless of the jokes they looked stunning…  The effortlessly beautiful bride slipped into a gorgeous gown and after momentarily making her parents well up with pride in her reveal she was set to go be Alan’s wife.

We arrived at Robert Denholm House, a Victorian mansion with wonderful views, and Stephanie, surrounded by friends and family (and the Power Puff girls) married herself a husband. After the ceremony, exchange of rings and lovely First Kiss, we gathered them all outside for some gorgeous group photos accompanied with confetti throwing, then whisked the happy couple into the trees for some more great shots with them on their own.

The next lovely location was Westmead Events, an incredible piece of land on which stood an enormous 3 hat tipi and various tents all joined with a seagrass pathway.  There were flowers, dress up tents and a paddling pool full of ice and bottles of drink. Once inside the tent it was even more special, it was beautiful, and it was HUGE. Pictures of the happy couple before they were married and personalised stationary were everywhere, there was a bar at the end set up by Mother and Father of the Bride, a gorgeous cake handmade by the Bride’s sister Gemma, fairy lights subtly twinkled, every type of condiment you could think of was placed upon the tables and we were seated and treated to the most beautiful food prepared by some truly talented caterers.

 After eating we went outside to take some fun photos in the surrounding fields with the Bride, Groom, Groomsmen and Power Puff girls. They were great and a pleasure to capture.  We returned to the tipi as the sun set and took our seats once more for the speeches to begin. Laughter rung out as some interesting photos were handed around and tears seeped out as emotions were touched on by loving words spoken. After the speeches we arranged a sparkler tunnel and took some lovely shots of the bride and groom running up and down as the sparklers danced around them. We then proceeded to gather around to watch Alan and Stephanie cut their cake and cooed as they took their first opportunity to dance as husband and wife while a playlist they had made was started.

Everyone joined them on the dance floor; they were surrounded by smiley happy faces having fun. The caterers had more treats in store as they served an amazing choice of macaroni cheese or paella in cardboard dishes with wooden utensils, as we ate under the stars soaking up the atmosphere, we all agreed that this had been a wonderful wedding.

Thank you for allowing us to share your day.

Sunflowers, forget-me-nots and guitars

How on earth could we forget this day?  The day Emma and George tied the knot; from start to finish it was utterly great to be a part of.  First off,  there was a stunning location to have an outdoors wedding, followed by a wonderful location to hold a party, which just happened to be full of talented musicians.  George himself being a top session drummer for artists such as Rag’n’Bone Man, Eminem and Birdy and his Best Man a Guitarist with The Hoosiers you can imagine the standard of music was amazing.

The morning had us hanging her beautiful vintage lace wedding gown in an apple tree, as the glorious sunshine beamed down on unusual bouquets of sunflowers and forget-me-nots. Her hair swept back in a timeless up-do and make-up naturally done. Surprise presents were revealed and saw a gorgeous vintage black jaguar arrive to escort the brides party to the stunning venue of which was Two Woods.

Let me set the scene….. A woodland scene, of gigantic redwood trees, fit for a fairytale, with the hauntingly beautiful sound of a lone guitarist echoing through the forest, as the bride drifted down the long isle linking arms with her father, towards her eagerly awaiting husband to be, who was perfectly suited and booted for the occasion. After vows full of promises hopes and love were exchanged, the bride and groom were kissed with the petals of dried flowers as confetti was thrown with joy and pink smoke grenades filled the air in a dazzle of colour, all the while sunshine flooded through the trees capturing the moment in the most natural of spotlights…  this scene (as beautiful as it may be) was set to change as the Two Woods was exchanged for South Stoke Barn and the party began..

After rounding up guests for some lovely group photos we entered this wonderfully adorned interior and took our places for some speeches. Loud laughter and giggling soon filled the barn and the occasional emotional tear rolled down various cheeks, some incredible video messages were played for the well wishing of the new happy Bride and Groom.

Placed on the tables came the sharing platters of delicious food, as freshly made burgers and hotdogs were served from the caterer outside, once food was eaten we stole emma and George for a frolic in the fields and captured some easily stunning shots of the couple alone amongst the grass and clovers. On our return we witnessed the cutting of a simply gorgeous cake quite perfectly decorated with edible flowers and a first dance that flowed so seamlessly to the sound of another talented guitarist.

Murdoch’s Crazy Eyes took to the stage and did an amazing set to a crowd of all ages whom were all up dancing and having fun. Later on in the evening, as if this wasn’t going great enough, the Groom, Best Man and various other extremely talented guests took to the stage in what can only be described as the formation of a ‘super band’ and blew us away with a set of their own..

So I repeat ‘how on earth could we forget this day?’

Forget-me-nots have never been more appropriate.

We were truly honoured to be a part of it
