Corfe Castle Vintage Themed Wedding of Teresa and Giles

Teresa and Giles's Dorset wedding ceremony at St Edward, King and Martyr, Corfe Castle was one of the more intimate weddings of the year. Tersa and the bridesmaids went with a vintage wedding dress theme and Giles and the guys wore full morning suits and top hats for a more traditional feel.

After the ceremony the wedding car made the very short journey across the road to Mortons House Hotel in Corfe Village for the wedding reception. The guests (and Teri and I) walked the short distance, one of the most relaxed and informal weddings of the year so far.

We have photographed at the church in Corfe several times and we love the mix of natural light and candle light but this was our first time photographing a wedding reception at Mortons Hotel, the hotel is not large but worked beautifully for the number of guests. Outside space on the patio where the drinks reception was served was perfect and the sun shone and you wouldn't have guessed it was October.

Thank you Teresa and Giles and familes for allowing us to be part of your day, it was a real pleasure and look forward to seeing you both again soon! :)

Many Congratulations!!

Dorset Wedding Photography Compton Acres, Nicky and Dan

Nicky and Dan's wedding at Compton Acres Italian Villa was our second visit to this stunning venue in 2009 and Teri and I are already booked to photograph at the Dorset wedding venue in 2010. As one of Compton Acres recommended photographers we have photographed there many times and it still remains one of our favourite wedding venues. The team at Compton Acres (Laura!) job and Beales catering always do a great job :)

In the morning Teri hooked up with Nicky getting ready at her parents and I met Dan and the guys at the New Beehive in Canford Cliffs (a pub that is within walking distance!). As always the Poole registrars were relaxed and the ceremony was one of the most relaxed and fun of the year. Just after the ceremony we sneaked Nicky and Dan into the Japanese Gardens for some quick romantic alone photographs. The requested group shots were taken as they fitted in with the day, great advantage to having the ceremony and reception at the same venue is you have total flexibility to fit in any photography as the day naturally unfolds.

We always say to couples, it's not just about picking a great venue, a great wedding is about the couple, their families and friends and the joy of sharing their wedding with them. Nicky and Dan's day was perfect, really lovely couple and a pleasure for Teri and I to be part of their day.

Many Congratulations Nicky and Dan!! :)
