Next month we’ll be making our way back to Langtry Manor for Natalie and Justin’s wedding where we’re all holding out for an outdoor ceremony on Langtry’s beautiful lawn. Natalie and Justin really want to take some time out on the day to get down to the beach for some seaside couple shots.
As it was such a beautiful evening when we met up with them for their wedding prep we all jumped in the car and headed over to the promenade for some test shots. I eagerly rolled up my leggings and threw my flip-flops aside to wade in and make the most of the high tide. I wish I could find an excuse to do a shoot in the sea like this every day.

We met up with Rachel and David last week to sort out all the final details for their wedding, meet their vicar and check out their reception venue. It’s going to be a fun-filled day with things kicking off at St Peter’s Church in Ashley Cross, Parkstone before we make our way to Christchurch Harbour Hotel with its beautiful rear garden backing onto the water. After we’d finished nattering and enjoyed an evening drink together it was starting to get a little bit dark, but we just had time for a few twilight test shots. Here they are!

Wedding Prep Shots: Kathy and Mark

We met up with Kathy and Mark last night over in Wareham to talk through their wedding details, have a catch-up and peak through the door at Lady St Mary Church where they’ll be tying the knot in a few of weeks. It’s going to prove to be an action-packed day as after a ceremony over in the Purbecks we’ll all be making our way over to Bournemouth for a reception and party at The Cumberland Hotel.
When we were walking around Wareham we found out Kathy’s mum has been an absolute star and arranged it for us to use the grounds of The Priory Hotel next to the church just after the ceremony so we can get some portraits in peace and quiet. There are so many pretty nooks and crannies here and we’re so impressed with the gesture and forward-thinking. Good work Kathy’s mum!

Wedding Prep Shots: Gemma and Chris

We went Purbeck-side this weekend to meet up with Gemma and Chris and have a chat about their wedding which will take place at the Church of St Edward, Corfe Castle with a reception at the lovely Kingston Country Courtyard. We couldn’t think of a better place to spend a sunny Sunday afternoon and we were happy to have a play around the bottom of the garden for a little tester shoot.
We probably won’t be able to get this far down into the field on the wedding day though as it involves climbing up a stone wall - wedding gear isn’t really designed for that.
Oh, and for the record. If you, like me, suffer from severe hayfever, messing around in a field of long grass probably isn’t the wisest idea.
We’re looking forward to your wedding you two!
