This wonderful Elmers Court wedding story began with Fran and her bridesmaids at her parents lovely New Forest home. Everything was so calm and relaxed as I captured a few details, before catching up with the girls. After capturing a few moments with the girls and their morning preparations. I headed back across to Lymington to meet the Leon and the boys.

Living only mere minutes away from the beautiful Elmers Court wedding venue has its benefits. Knowing Elmers Court itself very well being one of them. That and the fact that sometime I can even cycle to cover Elmers Court Wedding’s there. Today however I was in the car, and pulled up to meet the boys getting ready in one of the villas. Once the suits were on and ties were tied. Leon and boys headed over to the bar to settle some nerves with a swift pint.

Fran was just getting into her stunning dress as I arrived back with the girls. Just in time to capture some perfect moments, as fran’s sister helped her with her dress. Back in the car it was another swift trip back to Lymington and to the waiting Leon for their Elmers Court Wedding.

Sun drenched the guests as they sat waiting in the lovely outdoor Elmers Court Wedding ceremony, as Fran, accompanied by her father, made their way across the lawn. Following a lovely personal ceremony, the pair joined their friends and family on the lawn for drinks.

Once the wedding breakfast and speeches complete, Fran and Leon took some time together in the grounds. Elmers Court Wedding venue has some incredibly stunning grounds which we took time to take great advantage. Just in time as the light was falling across the Lymington river.

The party really kicked off with one of Fran bridesmaids taking to the mic and bring the house down. Such a perfect end to their brilliant Elmers Court Wedding. A massive thank you to Fran & Leon for inviting me to be a part of their incredible Elmers Court Wedding story.

The day began at the stunning Lymington based Stanwell House Hotel where tiffany and her girls were getting ready. The champagne flowed as they had their hair done and enjoyed their breakfast. This gave me a great chance to get some shots of Tiffanys stunning dress as well as the incredible flowers from The Flower Field Hampshire. I had recommended Sarah from The Flower Field Hampshire to Tiffany as she did such an incredible job with the flowers for my own wedding. Her style seemed perfect for Tiffany, hand picked and home sourced flowers grown in her own garden, arranged in that whimsical cottage style which is so refreshing to see.

Before I knew it I was heading down to the bar to meet Mark and his groomsman as he made his own preparations, hip flask in hand. After a stiff drink Mark and the boys headed down the high street to the quay to relax at The Ship Inn with a sneaky pint.

The ceremony and reception was held in the stunning conservatory of Stanwell House, a brilliantly boutique venue at the wonderful Lymington based Stanwell House Hotel. It is such a perfect local venue, brilliant food, and at a mere 5min walk from my house what could be better!

After the beautiful food and some brilliantly personal speeches the party kicked into gear, bringing an end to a perfect wedding day. A huge thank you again to Tiffany & Mark for inviting me along on your perfect day . . .

The day began at the stunning Lymington sea side house of Paula’s close friend, with cooked breakfasts all round it was the perfect start to the day. With no lack of beautiful nocks and crannies it was a photographers dream to shoot. While the girls were getting ready I snuck off to the get some shots of Paula’s stunning Stephanie Allin dress brought from the lovely Lymington based Exquisite Bridal.

Before I knew it I was off to meet Rob as he made his own final preparations, gathering with his family, before he shot to the Red Lion Pub for that last minute nerve settler. After spending a bit if time with Rob and his family I made my way back across Lymington to catch Paula making her final preparations before getting into her beautiful dress.

The ceremony itself was held a the lovely St. John’s Church Boldre, and was the first time I had been back to this simply stunning church since my own wedding last August. Too make it better Paula & Rob even had the awesome Rev Frank Willet presiding over the service, Frank who also presided over my own lymington wedding!

From a beautiful New Forest ceremony to a brilliantly boutique reception at the wonderful Lymington based Stanwell House Hotel. It is such a perfect local venue, brilliant food, and at a mere 5min walk from my house what could be better!
