Today we photographed the wedding of Alli and Tony at Langtry Manor Hotel in Bournemouth. It was a super relaxed affair with just a small selection of close family and friends for their gorgeous outdoor ceremony.

We’ve shot at Langtry Manor quite a few times before now but we’ve never been lucky enough to be at a wedding on their lawn before. We left Alli and Tony today enjoying the meal with their family over the road at Langtry Lodge. We absolutely loved the set-up for the meal tables with everyone facing each other for that cosy, intimate feel and all the details were so pretty and thoughtful.

In a few weeks time we’ll be heading back to Langtry Manor for the intimate wedding of Alli and Tony. We’re all hoping the sun will be shining on us for an outdoor ceremony. In fact, the actual wedding will be taking place right where they’re standing in this photo!

We embraced the romance last weekend with the Valentine’s Day wedding of Laura and James at Langtry Manor in Bournemouth. Sunday didn’t really live up to its name, but luckily as the evening do was to be held at Langtry Lodge, just over the road from the hotel, it didn’t matter too much it was a little rainy.

Things kicked off with me heading over to Laura’s Mums to catch all the girls (including five bridesmaids) getting ready, whilst Ian got a turn at playing Paparazzi hiding in our car to document the arrival of James’ surprise Lamborghini. Laura let us know about the Groom’s special pre-wedding present beforehand but we had to do some sneaky prep work to work out the logistics of the morning’s events without blowing the cover.

Lots of lovely beaded detail on Laura’s dress.

The very bubbly and lovely bride, Laura.

There’s always space for more bubbles though - especially those of a Bucks Fizz and Pink Cava nature.

James liked his Lamborghini. Phew! Ian.. you can stop playing detectives now.

Time to get the dress and jewellery on.

With only ten minutes until the cars arrived everybody was getting a little excited.

The ceremony took place at Langtry Manor in Bournemouth. It’s a pretty perfect place for a Valentine’s Day wedding as the building was built by King Edward VII for his mistress Lillie Langtry.

Nerves soon settled as soon as the Bridesmaids and Ushers made their grand entrance.

Closely followed by Laura and her Dad.

Laura and James packed out the ceremony room with all their family and friends with onlookers also on the gallery balcony.

Laura’s Dad filled the room with some excellent trumpet playing after the registers had been signed.

More drinkies.

Langtry Manor always manages to do an impressive room turnaround for the reception. The room was filled with lots of Valentine’s details, with a colour theme of pink and red.

Even the upstairs balcony was kitted up to cater for more guests.

The speeches took place before the meal to get the formals out of the way before consuming all that yummy food. We have experienced the culinary delights of Langtry Manor first hand before and can vouch for the fact they’re able to whip up some top nosh.

Desserts done and dusted the wedding party made their way over to Langtry Lodge to get the party started, and what a party it was! I don’t think we’ve ever seen such a rammed dance floor so early on. These folks knew how to have a good time.

Laura’s Mum, Kim revved up the party by being one of the first to karaoke. We think she’s done that before - she was a bit of a pro!

Ah… a lovely group man hug.

Not ashamed to say I was bouncing away whilst I was shooting to a barrage of Disco classics. However, even with a bit of Kool & The Gang, there’s a job to be finished.

Hoping you had the best Valentine’s Day ever, Laura and James!

We shot our first wedding of 2010 yesterday - and what better way to get into the swing of it than with a Valentine’s wedding? We loved the fact Laura and James made the most of the day with a bright and vibrant colour palette of reds and pinks. Lots more to follow soon, but in the meantime enjoy a shot of Laura’s extra special jewellery.
