On Saturday we joined Sebastian and Carrie for there wedding day, we started our cold but dry day at Rhinefield House for a few preparation photos with Carrie and the girls and later, Seb and the boys, Carrie was looked after by Michelle who as always did a great job.  After a few photos we all headed off to the ceremony which took place at the beautiful Highcliffe Castle where we were greeted by the Michelmersh silver band which sounded amazing.

After a truly romantic service where Sebastian and Carrie seemed to cry thorough out we headed off outside for a few photos before heading back to Rhinefield House for more photos and a second drinks reception. We took Seb and Carrie off for a few portraits and then headed in to the wedding breakfast which was followed by speeches and then dancing with Rufus stone.

I love this next couple of photos, Sebastian could not hold it together when he saw his beautiful bride and Sue captured it perfectly here. In the second Carrie’s eyes say everything !

As I am sat here this morning waiting to leave for todays wedding it got me thinking about just how much I love winter weddings. Over the past few years we have been doing more and more winter wedding and we both have loved them, this year we have more than ever and its wonderful. During previous years our winter weddings have mostly been local to Hampshire and Dorset, But not always, in fact we did Cornwall and Devon a couple of years ago and this year we have already visited Cornwall and soon we are up in Surrey and then Berkshire which is great. We often stay over the night before our weddings as we did in Cornwall which just takes all the pressure out of travelling.

Last year for the first time we started to offer a winter discount for our weddings between Oct 1st and April 30th and unlike a lot of offers ours is a genuine reduction because you get exactly the same service and products as you do with our peak packages making them fantastic value and will help with your budget.

If your interested in a winter wedding win Hampshire, Dorset, Surrey or anywhere in the Uk please take a look through our winter weddings featured on our website or here on our blog by searching the archives, I think you will agree that we have shot some amazing winter weddings.

Please let us know if we can help you, you can download our peak prices on our documents page but please contact us for a winter pricelist which differs depending on your winter wedding date and location.

On Saturday we joined Dan and Marie for their beautiful february wedding down in Cornwall, We met with them a couple of years ago when we joined Marc and Gemma Patch for their wedding in Southampton, Marc and Dan have been friends for years.

Sue & I drove down to Cornwall the day before the wedding and stayed over in our fav Travel-lodge (yes we know how to live it up)  That evening we drove to Marie’s parents farm to meet them and then to the lovely chapel where they got married and then the venue just to make the wedding day a little easier.

On the morning of the wedding we started our day with Marie at the farm who was surrounded by her lovely friends and family as well as her makeup and hair artist Cornelius who did a great job and was quite the character to work with, We then left to meet Dan and the boys at the Chapel for a few shots before Marie arrived looking amazing. After a truly wonderful service we headed off with Just Marie and Dan for a few shots down by the Beach which was fab as you can see from the shots below, we then headed off to the venue just up the road for some lovely photos outside in the brisk but brief sunshine.

We then headed in for a wonderful warming wedding breakfast followed by some great speeches, later Dan and Marie got down to some serious dancing whilst Sue & I headed off home exhausted after a fantastic day.
