Wedding of Caroline and Jamie
Sunday 23rd May at Ansty Hall, Near Coventry www.anstyhall.co.uk
Caroline and Jamie’s Wedding day- it was gonna be Hot!! Suncream at the ready, we left quite early to arrive at the Hotel for Caroline’s preparations – On arrival, things were all very calm, soft music playing, the brides hair almost done, and make-up in progress. No sign of any nerves yet, Hannah, the Bridesmaid, made sure that everything was running smoothly. Capturing the beautifully lit room, details and atmosphere were key. There was a slight knock at the door – It was Caroline’s mum, I could sense there was something wrong. She was feeling very unwell, which of course, worried Caroline. Along with Hannah, the hairstylist, we tried to ensure everything was fine and not to worry – the last thing a bride needs to hear, there is a problem 1 hour before she is due to be married. Caroline looked absolutely stunning – 15 minutes before she was due to be married, her father entered the room – then there were tears! Emotions were running high, disappointment that mum was not going to be able to attend the ceremony, and excitement to be getting married.
The ceremony did take place at 12.30, the Groom, Jamie waiting patiently for his Bride to enter the room – All went off perfectly-
And continued to do so throughout the afternoon – Fantastic photographic opportunities, using the bright sunshine to our advantage, and choosing the shady areas to do the family shots.
The wedding breakfast took place inside, Caroline had designed and made her own table centerpieces, and put hours into organizing the beautiful details. Everyone enjoyed the speeches and then tucked into a delicious three-course meal.
With the afternoon sunshine getting hotter and hotter, we found shade! It was about 6pm before the sun starting to drop and fantastic long shadows meant we had to ask if we could ‘borrow’ the bride and groom for 10 minutes for some more portraits – Definitely worth it! The evening continued to be relaxed and fun, with garden games and cricket being enjoyed by many.
We were really sorry that Linda was unable to be there, but we hope Linda, that we have taken plenty of beautiful pictures so you can see that your beautiful daughter had a wonderful day….
All our very best wishes to Caroline and Jamie – you do make a great couple, here are just a few sneaky shots from the day, there are hundreds more, and we’ll have them already to proof for you on your return from Italy xx Ian and Jo xx
