Hannah and Alex did just that and threw a fantastic party and a wonderful wedding celebration. Not a small feat seeing as they had just a few months to organise it. Full marks have to go to Philippa, Hannah’s mum who worked tirelessly behind the scenes with great success.

You may recognise Hannah as just a few months earlier she was a bridesmaid for her sister Martha. It was lovely to see the family again and enjoy meeting Alex’s relatives, especially flower girl Matilda who provided us with endless photo opportunities and was a star all day.

We just want to say a big thank you to everyone for making us feel so welcome and we hope you enjoy our favourite images.

There was such a relaxed feel at the wedding and all the couple’s hard work before the wedding paid off as the day went very smoothly.

The children at the wedding were full of character and it was great to see them thoroughly enjoying the wedding day. It made for some great photo moments.

That well known pre-wedding combination of Gin & Tonic with banana to keep the groom nourished throughout the day!

What an amazing fascinator.

Babies learn to read so quickly these days!!

All that reading has tired her out.

William Wallace Junior makes a surprise attack during the group shots!

The rest of the images will be ready shortly in our recent weddings section. contact the couple for the password.

Richard and Lara’s wedding was full of fun and entertainment. We were especially impressed with their choice of garden games. We haven’t seen a crazy golf course at a wedding before and it brought back great memories, plus some good friendly rivalry from the couple. Lara won if anyone is interested!!

There were also amazing illusions provided by Simon Alexander www.simonalexander.net.

Lara started the day at the very picturesque Slade’s Farm which created a really relaxing morning. All day long it was so good to see familiar faces with the make-up and hair arranged by Antonia of www.elleaunaturel.com.

The bride travelled in a beautiful Armstrong Siddeley car from Brian of Bluebells and at the reception the yummy food was served by Tandem Catering www.tandemcatering.co.uk. To round the whole day off the music was performed by the excellent Rollercoaster www.rollercoasterband.co.uk. You really can’t go wrong with such a great group of wedding suppliers.

We hope you’re having an amazing time on your holiday Richard and Lara and thanks for letting us be part of your special day.

You can see the rest of the photos in our recent weddings section in a few weeks, contact Lara and Richard for the password.

It was also a delight to work with Nick & Claire Stowe from www.carsforalloccasions.org, Jen and James from www.kalmkitchen.co.uk and Chris from www.chessdisco.co.uk. You could say that all together we make the dream team in wedding services!

We hope you enjoy our favourites. Look out for the beautiful Jenny Packham dress, the way Ben got all emotional after the ceremony, the hilarious speeches and the ‘bridal sweet’!!

The rest of the photographs will be ready shortly in our recent weddings section; contact Ben and Sally for the password.

The ceremony was held in the Pheasantry with most of the guests outside enjoying the countryside. It’s the first time Gate Street has had this particular layout and it was a huge success.

Rather than choosing fancy shoes Lorraine wore fantastic boots from Vandevorst and she had one more surprise, a unique arrival in a helicopter!! The Bride, her dad and nephew flew out of Dunsfold airport, where the Top Gear track is, and landed in the field just behind the barn. The guests were very impressed as were the cattle who very kindly allowed their field to be used for the landing!!

We also love the couple’s place names and favours a friend made each ceramic cup with the guests name on and each one had a herb ready for planting. All lovingly arranged by the excellent www.kalmkitchen.co.uk.

We hope you enjoy our favourite pictures.

Marcus and Emma both got ready at the Mandolay Hotel in Guildford where their excellent florist Gill Pike arrived with the beautiful bouquets.

Sarah just had to get in the photos!!

Meanwhile, the guys were making their way to Gate Street Barn.

It’s not easy being an usher or best man; there’s so much work behind the scenes!

One of the guests was very impressed with the ceremony or was it the first kiss!

Gate Street Barn has so many gorgeous places to take photographs and it’s lovely to see how various areas in the gardens blossom at different times of year.

Someone is obviously keen for their dinner.

The menu gets full marks from these young guests too, maybe it was the Knickerbockerglory pudding.

The Barber Shop Quartet serenaded the couple just before dinner.

The speeches were all excellent.

Although the best man’s speech did mention some things that we’re all trying very hard to forget.

It was funny though.

Then we just couldn’t resist taking advantage of the lovely evening light for some final portraits.

Marcus and Emma had a fantastic first dance.

Which then the other guests felt they had to better!! The dancing was incredible and even included a few backflips and dangerous jumps!

The rest of the photographs from the wedding will be online when Marcus and Emma return from honeymoon. If you want to see more, please contact them for the password.

Debbie looked stunning in her Suzanne Neville dress and the reception was at the warm and inviting Gate Street Barn with the fantastic food provided by Kalm Kitchen. Here are some of our favourites.

This evil looking drink really is as evil as it looks: Chilli Sambuca!

One of the great advantages to having two photographers is that we can capture the important moments from two viewpoints!

We hope, Phil & Debbie, that you’re enjoying the warm Maldives. – You might want to wait until it’s a bit warmer here before coming home!!

And so, we’ve got a bumper crop of favourite images that we’ve had to whittle down to our absolute faves.

Please don’t forget to leave a comment especially if you were there and had as good a time as we did.

These slippers were a gift from Tim.

Has dad just seen his beautiful daughter or the bill for the reception?

Can’t quite remember what Richard was trying to explain to Tim but it all made sense at the time.

Philippa’s reaction on becoming Mrs. Tim Pearne!

As Philippa works for Cosmopolitan Magazine it seemed only right that they drink cosmopolitans.

Congratulations Tim & Philippa! Thank you for making our job so great – we love you guys!
