This Royal Bath Hotel wedding day, interestingly started of with Nick. Who I met at his local Barbers, Wild & Co, for a pre wedding tidy up. Nick was a seriously brave man. Having a full cut throat wet shave on the morning of your wedding takes some serious balls! After spending a bit of time chilling out with the boys I headed across to catch up with Sara and the girls at their house nearby. Capturing a few of the details first before hanging out with the girls as they had their make done. Before long the dresses were on, the transport had arrived and we were off to the Ceremony.

Their beautiful ceremony was held in the brilliant Bournemouth Town Hall. In one of their lovely intimate rooms. Having arrived just before Sara, I was am to capture the nervously waiting Nick greeting their friends and family. As the ceremony began no one could take their eyes of Sara as she arrived with her Father. Smiling from ear to ear, she just beamed happiness and laughter and pretty much set the tone for the rest of the amazing day.

Following the Ceremony Sara & Nick led the friends and family through Bournemouth’s beautiful Lower Gardens to their Royal Bath Hotel Wedding. After having a bit of fun with some group down on the beach, even braving the waves. We headed up to the Royal Bath Hotel wedding grounds for the reception. It was at this point that the heavens decided to open putting a bit of a spanner in the planned, and stunning, outdoor wedding breakfast. But total unfazed Sara was full of smiles as they all headed inside, whilst the Royal Bath Hotel Wedding Staff set about moving everything inside.

After an extended drinks reception everyone join Sara & Nick in the main hall for their long awaited wedding breakfast. following the meal Sara & Nick took a few moments out together. Despite the weather this awesome couple even braved the beach itself to grab some amazing portraits underneath the pier. Smiles never faltering despite everything.

Once we got back to the Royal Bath Hotel wedding from our little wander along the beach. Thats when the party really kicked off! Sara & Nick had made the hall look incredible with all the light adored walls literally glowing. All of which made for a truly epic first dance. After which everyone one else piled on and it all kicked up a notch. What a PARTY. 

Thank you to the incredible Sara & Nick for inviting me along to be a part of their amazing Royal Bath Hotel wedding, it was and honour, and also for being such amazing sports all day despite everything.

Now The Green House Hotel is the of those brilliantly unassuming hotels which has a wonderfully boutique style with that increasingly more popular sustainability USP. The rooms were all beautiful with an elegant yet simple styling which was a pleasure to shoot in.

It was such an amazing day, with Natalie & Jon’s families making me feel so welcome. With so many personally crafted details and decorations you could really see how much effort they and both put into their day. From the wonderful pine cone place settings to the individual wishing tree, Natalie had hand crafted them all.

Following the lovely ceremony in The Green House Hotel’s stunning ceremony room I joined Natalie & Jon on a stroll along the cliff top where we were able to capture some wonderful shots of the happy couple together. Having returned from their stroll together Natalie & jon joined their families in a cocktail and sat down to the speeches.

After an intimate close family meal their friends and evening guests arrived and the party really kicked off. Everyone was getting into the party mood with even their amazing young son Elliot joining in the dancing. I felt so luckly to have been a part of this special day and wish both Natalie & jon (and of course Elliot) all my congratulations for their newly married life together . . .
