Last week we shot the wedding of Kara and Ryan just up the road from us at The Chine Hotel. It was a sunny, warm day, perfect for guests to enjoy the vast grounds for the day’s BBQ and drinks reception. Things kicked off early for me with some bridal preps at the hotel where the room was bustling with excited family and friends.

The bride, Kara.

Mother of the Bride!

Instead of a bouquet, Kara’s bouquet was a pretty floral ball!

Meanwhile, downstairs Ian caught up with the Groom, Ryan.

The ceremony room was packed with enthusiastic guests.

After the ceremony everyone piled outside in the rear garden to enjoy their drinks and we did some family shots there too.

Always time for a tongue-in-cheek shot whilst waiting for guests to gather themselves together for the formals. Those glasses did the rounds.

Once the room had been turned around we managed to grab some table shots before it was time for the BBQ to start.

After the guests had finished their meal we made our way down to Boscombe beach for some late afternoon snaps on the sand. It was still fairly early so there was quite an audience! The Chine has a really nifty gateway down to the seafront though. It was lovely to be able to take a leisurely stroll down with our Bride and Groom rather than pile into the car.

We took a few more on our way back up and then we left Kara and Ryan to empty their shoes full of sand and enjoy the rest of their day.
