Lucy and Graeme's Seaside Splendour!

Lucy and Graeme celebrated their wedding in style in the seaside town of Poole. It really was a remarkable day. Donna began capturing the day with Lucy at home where Lucy, her parents and her two bridesmaids busied themselves getting ready for the off. The house was full of excitement and anticipation as everyone was laughing and joking and thoroughly enjoying the bridal preparations. It was not long before Lucy was dressed in her beautiful strapless silk wedding gown complete with veil and perfect pink rose bouquet and her bridesmaids were ready in the rich chocolate brown ballerina length gowns with baby pink sashes, the look was exquisite and quite unique.

Alan had gone off in pursuit of the men where a meeting at the Holiday Inn soon became a jaunt to Poole's historic quayside and the chance for some fun with the photos. Graeme, the groom, obviously a bit peckish decided to buy some chips which caused much hilarity amongst the passers by.

Soon it was time for the ceremony at St James' Church famed for its association with generations of fisherman. The traditional service was intimate and personal and a joy to behold. After the register was signed it was outside for some group photos before their guests departed on a spectacular Routemaster Bus which was adorned with ribbons and bows to the stunningly contemporary Harbour Heights Hotel in the luxurious Canford Cliffs area of Poole where the couple were treated to spectacular views as they sipped Champagne on the terrace as the sun shone brightly overhead.

After a sumptuous meal Donna and Alan took Lucy and Graeme down to the beach where we captured some romantic shots as the sun set over Poole Harbour which will make a grand finale to their wedding album. We wish them every happiness as they begin their married life together and look forward to putting their photos online from 5th June

Claire and Andy's New Forest Wedding.......

Claire and Andy celebrated their wedding in style in the beautiful New Forest in Hamshire. They held their marriage ceremony in the atmospheric All Saints Church in Dibden Purlieu near Southampton. They then travelled in style to their stunning reception venue Burley Manor Hotel before departing for an unusual and adventurous honeymoon in the tropical island of Borneo !

As you can see for yourself, Claire looked radiant in a lovely pale coffee coloured strapless dress that complemented her glossy auburn hair perfectly. the bodice was adorned with crystals and beads that captured the light throughout the day. The boys looked handsome, relaxed and classically elegant in their dark morning suits with cream waistcoats and cravats. Fragrant flowers in spring colours really set off the scene. Claire's attendants looked beautiful too with a coffee and cream colour scheme with little butterflies appliqued on the little flower girls' dresses. It really was a wonderful English country wedding and one that Alan and I will remember fondly. Their wedding photographs will be available to view online from 2nd June.

Here are a selection of some of their photographs:

Award Winning Wedding Photographers!!!!

Up until this year, Digitally Different have not been active in entering photographic competitions, in fact I can go as far as to say, that we had not entered any!!! But all that changed in February when an email from the SWPP(Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers) suggested that all its members should enter as they 'had nothing to lose! and only something to gain!' So it was with that sentiment going around in my head that I decided to do something about it!

Back in February - I entered this photograph taken of Johnny and Cathering at Badbury Rings into the 'Tradtional Wedding' category and was delighted to see it achieving a BRONZE AWARD!
Encouraged by this success, I decided to enter more photographs in more categories and these were the entries and the results for March. 'Contemporary Wedding' - SILVER AWARD, taken of Janine and Adrian at Rhinefield House.
'Tradtional Wedding' - BRONZE AWARD from the same wedding
And a further BRONZE AWARD but this time in the 'Bridal Portraiture Category'
April saw the success continue with two more BRONZE AWARDS this time in the 'Bridal Portraiture' and 'Contemporary Weddings' caterogies, these are the photographs below:

So now the standard has been set and we are busy going through the photographs from our last few weddings looking for those competition winners!!! Wish us luck and check back for some updates later!

After arriving nice and early, Donna made her way to meet Janine and her attendants who were busy being attended to by the hairdresser from Eskape in Ringwood and the Virgin Vie make up artist. Whlist Alan went off into the hotel grounds taking photos of the amazing architecture. It was not long before the stunning bouquets arrived that composed of deep red roses and beautiful elegant cala lillies Arcade Flowers of Ringwood had done a perfect job.

The boys arrived looking very handsome in their morning suits and cravats and Alan captured some wonderful shots of them all together.



Soon it was time to make our way to the Walker Suite where Janine met the registrar from the Ringwood Office and once all the legalities had been performed and it was time get married!

Janine looking beautiful entered the Grand Hall while Adrian stood at the front awaiting the arrival of his bride. The ceremony went with just one hitch the marriage of Janine and Adrian! as friends and family and little Haydn all watched and enjoyed the proceedings.

Once the ceremony was over it was out to the front of the hotel for confetti throwing and family photographs. A drinks reception was held in the Kings' Room while the bride and groom made their way into the grounds for some romantic portraits.
