Canford Magna Church sits within the grounds of Canford School - tucked away from bustling roads and surrounded by glorious woodland and a quaint little river. The church itself is the oldest building in the Borough of Poole and the most beautiful example of a traditional chapel.. so, what better way to start the wedding off than to ditch those cream Rolls Royces or silver Jags and hire a VW Campervan instead? We liked their style!
The weather on Matt and Emily's wedding day couldn't have been better and we were bathed in wonderful sunlight, which flooded through the church windows to give everything a cosy feel.
Canford Magna Church were very accommodating and gave us the opportunity to take ceremony shots both from the Organ Pit and the front of the service in the South Aisle of the church - a rare treat for church photography, especially as we could move around the front aisle hidden from view by the congregation!
It sometimes seems a shame that church rules and regulations hinder ceremony photography, so it was wonderful to see that, in such a well-established, traditional chapel, the Minister was so laid back and happy to give Matt and Emily the service they wanted.
Luckily, we narrowly avoided some maintenance work on the church, meaning that the beautiful building was free from scaffolding and we didn't have to go on a hunt for different locations for the family and friends shots.
Before they headed off towards the ocean for a reception near the water we took the time to have a little wander around the generous church grounds and capture a few photos before the couple served up the Champagne in their camper van and chuggered away. It was a relatively short day for us, being a Packages & Prices page job - but for being such a fantastic venue we hope we get the opportunity to go back again.
