Maunsel House wedding: congratulations Scarlett & Will!



Maunsel House is such a unique wedding venue, and Scarlett and Will are a brilliantly unique and quirky couple, so it was the perfect combination! Their wonderful wedding day celebrations had an enchanted woodland theme, which just worked so well. From Scarlett's show-stopping Claire Pettibone dress, to the incredible enchanted tree cake and the gorgeous woodland themed floral arrangements, everything was absolutely wonderful, from start to finish. I loved Scarlett and Will's Fairy Favour Tree, filled with enchanted bottles for the guests to sample. It was a brilliant day to photograph, so much fun and a real joy to be a part of. Here is a little look at their images:

Eve and Elliot: a preview

I spent a rather lovely afternoon yesterday with Eve and her gorgeous baby son Elliot. He was such a happy, smiley little chap, and they were both an absolute pleasure to photograph! I'm so looking forward to editing the full set for them - for now, here is a very quick peek at a few of my favourites...

Hinton St George wedding: Belle & Fred get married in Somerset

Bride and groom walk under rose petal confetti

Huge congratulations to the lovely Belle and Frederic, who married recently at Hinton St George in Somerset. It was an utterly gorgeous day! Belle looked so beautiful in her stunning wedding dress, made from an antique French lace veil, and I loved the delicate tones of the flowers in the bouquets and table decorations. The wedding had a distinctly international feel to it, with lots of Fred's lovely French family and friends, plus many other guests from all over the world. The reception took place at Brympton D'Evercy, a magnificent stately home near Yeovil, which was the perfect setting for the celebrations. With a drinks reception on the south terrace overlooking the lawn (and the lake and the cows!), a wonderful leisurely wedding breakfast and speeches in the Ball Room and a party in the Library Bar, it was the perfect day from start to finish. Here is a little peep at their images...
