Hannah and Paul are married!

Hannah and Paul's wedding was one I was looking forward to for months. I lived pretty much next door to her parent's house that they built from scratch and over the course of several months, I saw it go from a run down building, to a bare piece of land, to a beautiful manor house. Any girl's dream location for their big day. Well where do I start? What a stunning, fabulous wedding. Hannah basically thought of EVERYTHING. She's an extremely talented lady who proved herself with a wonderful display of style, design and creativity. Hannah designed the entire wedding herself and it shows. But enough of me telling you about it - see for yourself below.

 

Party packs for the little girls - wings included!

A dedicated kid's table centrepiece - I want that cup and saucer!

Kid's napkins!

I love bunting!

I started the day off with Hannah and the bridesmaids. We kept looking out the window for rain, but it didn't come!

Yes girls, it's a Jenny Packham!

A gift from Paul - a vintage bracelet that they'd both seen. Hannah had gone back to the shop to see it again, but it had gone - little did she know that Paul had bought it! This was definitely a present to be opened before any make-up was applied!

 

This is Hannah's sister in law, Juliette and her daughter Maisie - who got some time off school!

She was so excited about being princess for a day!

Last minute adjustments.

I adore this photo - these stairs were built for this very purpose!

This is the reaction from Hannah's brother, David and her Mum and Aunty in the background. They thought she looked beautiful too!

All the girls!

A few portraits.

This was Hannah taking a moment to take it all in, looking into the garden at the marquee and thinking about the day ahead, it was not posed at all, I love the way the light shows off her stunning dress.

Then I made my way across to the church to see the boys. I only had to cross the road! Look at that car!

The gorgeous Paul. Very relaxed and excited!

 
Maisie and May the two little flowergirls. Cute!

Hannah and her Dad walking down through the churchyard from their house.

That's one proud Dad!

This is one of my favourite images from the day!

Then we went across into the neighbouring field for some couple shots.

Hannah and Paul - Sneak peek!

I just can’t resist posting a sneak peek from Hannah and Paul's fabulous wedding on Friday, just because Hannah looked so absolutely stunning with her brand new husband! I’m still editing the rest of the pictures, and Hannah and Paul want to be first to see them after their honeymoon, so they won't be up on my site til the beginning of June. So it will be a little while until you can see more, stay tuned!

Isobel and Lee Pre-wedding Shoot

I was recommended for this wedding by a photographer friend - Emily who's unable to photograph the wedding herself as she's one of the bridesmaids!

Isobel and Lee's wedding is coming up at the end of the month so we headed down to Avon beach to get some relaxed engagement photographs. It was a bit cold and windy for a May afternoon, but despite this we had a great laugh and used the multi-coloured beach huts to our advantage! I think Lee did very well as it was stag do the night before and he didn't get in til 4am! You wouldn't know it would you??

They're getting married at Christchurch Harbour Hotel - which is a gorgeous venue that I photographed for the first time last year. Can't wait! To view the whole shoot - look here.
