Jennie and Brett's Wedding

The sun shone on Jennie and Brett yesterday as they celebrated their wedding day at the King's Hotel in Christchurch, it was a fabulous day in a stunning setting. I arrived as the bridal preparations were starting, Lynne and Kerry from Beautiful Brides were starting Jennie's transformation from beautiful girl to stunning bride.  I quickly got to work photographing all of Jennie's bit and pieces including her gorgeous wedding dress, the Dublin design by Ronald Joyce.  Jennie works as a flight attendant and had spotted her dress on a recent trip to New York ordering it on her return to the UK.  I can quite see why she fell in love with it too, it was certainly a show stopper.  Soon Jennie was dressed and was accompanied by an emotional Mum, a proud Dad, sister Sarah and nieces Amelie and Ava, all of whom looked amazing too.

Alan met Brett and his brother Ellis in the tea garden opposite the hotel where photos were taken close to the historic priory and bowling green before it was time for the ceremony to begin.   There were smiles and laughter all through the service as Jennie and Brett said the phrases that would make them husband and wife.

After reception drinks out on the lawn, the group photos taken and some special portraits of the happy couple in the historic Old Priory and Christchurch Castle before it was time to head into the Priory Suite for the wedding breakfast.  Decked out in classy whites and sparkling crystals, the room looked elegant, it was a super backdrop for their beautiful cake that Brett had so clevery made!

Alan and I really enjoyed photographing this wedding and wish the new Mr and Mrs every happiness in their new lives together, enjoy your honeymoon in your new camper van and we hope to hear from you soon.

Here are some of our favourites from the day, please feel free to leave a comment at the end of the post!

Love

Donna and Alan XXX
