Last year we met up with Jo and Chris for a little portrait shoot in the Purbecks. They originally got in touch with us to see if we could help them out with some Save The Date cards for their wedding. Since then they’ve asked us if we can shoot their big day at the very elegant Bibury Court in the Cotswolds.

We’re heading up there in December and we took the opportunity last weekend to pop up there to see the hotel, meet the parents and have another little shoot around the grounds. We then proceeded to throw leaves at them.

Melissa and Chris’ wedding will be our last of the year and we’re finishing off with a Christmas extravaganza. If it snows then that’s all the better! There are lots of lovely plans underway for this wedding, and it’s sure to be very pretty with plenty of decorations bringing some festive cheer to the barn at Bransgore’s Three Tuns Inn, just near the Dorset and Hampshire border.

We met up with Melissa and Chris at their beautiful home in Wimborne and after tea (and meeting with their cutester kitten, Cupcake) we went for a little wander…

Laura and Sean’s Wedding Day took place in Poole and Swanage, with a bit of a jolly bus and Camper Van ride in-between. It was a relaxed day for family and friends, who made the most of their seaside venues.

Things kicked off with me heading to Hotel Du Vin to meet up with Laura as she got ready, whilst Ian spent some time with Sean, his groomsmen and all of the guests as they gathered at The Guildhall.

Laura and Sean’s baby son played a big part in the day and he behaved absolutely immaculately – I didn’t hear him cry once and he seemed spellbound by all the fun. Meanwhile, Laura flew the flag as the yummiest Mummy on the Dorset coastline.

After making the Registrar cry, taking the quickest group photos ever outside the Guildhall (there was a another wedding waiting to go in as soon as we came out – it was a busy Saturday!) we all made our way over to Swanage to continue the party by the beach.

Laura and Sean’s wedding continues in Part Two.
