Compton Acres Wedding Italian Villa, Tina and Dave

Tina and Dave's spring wedding at Compton Acres Italian Villa near Sandbanks in Dorset was the perfect day for a wedding, blue skys and warm but not hot. Guests had literally come from all over the world to be there and that is a special thing to be part of in itself.

The whole wedding day was relaxed and well paced. Dave rocked up to the wedding venue at Compton Acres a full 2 hours plus before the ceremony to make sure he wasn't late arriving! Most of the guests arrived via an iconic london bus and Tina and her father Malcom making their entrance courtesy of an old fashioned 7 seater convertible wedding car supplied by local Bournemouth company Barnes Wedding Cars.

One of the things we love about the Italian Villa near Sandbanks are the beautiful gardens, there's always something in bloom and no matter the time of year one or more of the formal gardens has colour and interest. The cherry blossoms were in bloom in the Japanese Gardens which made a perfect backdrop for the romantic wedding images with Tina and Dave.

The full wedding gallery will go online just as soon as we are able to get together with Tina and Dave after their honeymoon. Congratulations, have a wonderful time and thank you for letting Teri and I be part of your day :)

Orchardleigh House Wedding Somerset, Victoria and Jon

Orchardleigh House was the Somerset wedding venue chosen by Victoria and Jon, the wedding ceremony itself was at All Saints Church in Lullington as the church within Orchardleigh Estate itself was not big enough for all the wedding guests!

The weather for the day started with clear sky, a small amount of rain just before the ceremony and the rest of the day was dry. Umbrellas at a wedding can make for some fun shots and the grooms party waiting outside the church for the bride and bridesmaids to arrive was one such image from the day.

It was a pleasure to photograph Victoria and Jon's wedding, many of the guests had flown in from South Africa and were able to stay at the stables accommodation within the estate.

Teri and I wish Victoria and Jon all the best for their married life! :)
