On Sunday, Zoe and Mark got married and they chose to do it at the stylish Italian Villa at Compton Acres. Zoe from Poole knew the area well and Mark from Hertfordshire has fond memories of the area from childhood holidays to the Bournemouth area. I must admit, it one of my favourite venues too!
Alan and I met Mark and his best man Martin at the venue, and after a quick bit of assistance from Alan with Martin’s cravat, it was off into the gardens for some shots before the registrars arrived. Soon the guests were seated and it was time for Zoe to arrive in a stunning silver Bentley, she looked radiant in her beautiful drop waisted, embellished wedding gown complete with delicate pink hydrangea bouquet. Zoe was accompanied by her proud Mum and Aunt.
It was not long before the ceremony began. Zoe entered the ceremony room to the Carpenter’s ‘I won’t last a day without you,’ Mark waited for his ‘wife to be’ to join him by his side and there they were to exchange those all important words that would transform them into ‘Mr & Mrs!!’
Once the ceremony was over it was into the gardens for the guests who lined the steps waiting for the newly weds to make their way down the steps from the villa. Confetti canyons shot confetti way into the air as Zoe and Mark smiled their way down the steps to meet their assembled guests.
The group photos taken, Zoe and Mark were whisked off into the Japanese gardens for some contemporary portraits before heading to a stunning house in Sandbanks for their reception. Alan and I join them here as the celebrations continued with speeches and much eating, drinking and being merry. It was a wonderful occasion.
Alan and I would like to thank you for choosing us to photograph your wedding, we had a wonderful time and we wish you every happiness for the future. Enjoy that amazing cruise around the Caribbean and we look forward to hearing from you on your return.
Here is a selection of some of the photos taken; the rest will be online from 26th November.
Much Love
Donna and Alan XXX

Thank you for these amazing photographs Donna and Alan. We love the way they are so natural, and you managed to capture some fantastic images of our guests interacting with one another. These are moments that we would have missed, had you not captured them for us. You must have been everywhere at once.
Everyone on the day said how professional you guys were. You gave us enough time to relax, but were focused and directive enough to get the shots that made a real difference. Once again, the photography is amazing, we can’t wait to share these with everyone and will treasure these images forever!
