Louise and Mark's fabulous Hampshire wedding

It was a busy weekend for us, with two weddings booked, but from the outset, we knew that both weddings were going to be very special!!  The first wedding on Saturday was that of the lovely to Louise to the equally lovely Mark.

Mark and Louise had chosen to hold their ceremony in a beautiful little church St Swithun’s in Martyr Worthy deep in the glorious Hampshire countryside.  The couple had chosen this church as Mark’s grandparents had married there some years before, which is a lovely sentiment.

The morning started for me with Louise at her parents’ house, where everything was relaxed and calm.  Louise was accompanied by four attendants, sister Emma, close friends Lindsay and Natalie and the cutest flower girl ever, niece Amber.  It really was a nice place to be. 

Alan met up with the boys at Easton and Martyr Worthy Cricket Club where Mark is a keen player.  His was accompanied by his best man and brother Sam and his ushers, Martin and Graham.  They all looked very handsome in their grey suits, waistcoats and lilac cravats.
Louise made here way to the church with her proud father Chris in a splendid vintage cream Bentley and it was here that the beauty of her Benjamin Roberts, raw silk gown could really be appreciated.  She looked stunning! Her bridesmaids in knee length lilac dresses complemented the look perfectly for the typically English country wedding.

Vows taken,  unity candle lit, it was outside for the formal photographs before we whisked the happy couple down to the River Itchen for some more lovely bridal portraits.  The guests made their way to the reception venue, The Norton Park Hotel where the celebrations were to begin.

Louise and Mark held their wedding breakfast in the Great Barn where their guests were treated to fine dining and lots of love and laughter.  The formalities were completed with three totally appropriate and heart felt speeches, even if Mark’s brother, Sam couldn’t resist a dig at Mark’s passing resemblance to a certain Peter Andre!!

In the lull before the evening guests arrived, we took the new Mr and Mrs to be photographed in the hotel’s extensive and impressive grounds.  We are very pleased with the photos taken here in particular!

The first dance came next and the evening began with lots of dancing and smiles.

We would like to thank Louise and Mark for choosing us to photograph their wedding.  We wish them a long and happy marriage and hope they have a wonderful time in Rhodes.

Much love

Donna and Alan xxxxx
