Beata and Justin at St Edmunds in Southampton and then onto Chilworth Manor


Thursday saw the first of three weddings this weekend in the busiest of our year ! Beata and Justin who met us at the De Vere Grand Harbour

Thursday saw the first of three weddings this weekend in the busiest of our year ! Beata and Justin who met us at the De Vere Grand Harbour wedding fayre in January had planned a lovely wedding and were not disappointed as a poor weather forecast turned into the most beautiful day of the weekend.

The day started at Chilworth Manor for hair and make-up provided by Michelle Crosser from Bridal Hair in Hampshire and Orchids Hideaway with Diana Berry. Beata was in fine form really enjoying herself and looking forward to the day, and it really shows in the images I have managed to capture. With hair and make-up completed and some images of the dress, shoes, jewellery and perfume captured I went and got some images from the outside of Chilworth Manor and then intial images of the room laid ready for the wedding breakfast where I met up with Louise and Annie from The Floristree - Beata and Justin's florist.

After this it was the short trip down to the church where after some relaxed portraits of the guys, and a check with the priest I awaited the arrival of the bride. Beata looked stunning in her dress, and I know Justin thought so as she walked down the aisle and after a lovely ceremony and nuptial blessing we got some images outside the church before returning back to the hotel.

Beata's mum Christina greeted the happy couple with some salt and bread - a Polish custom and we got the family photographs completed in an area of open shade before moving to the back of the manor house for a group shot on the steps and some relaxed images of Beata and Justin before making our way to the wedding breakfast. Speeches were first and emotional and funny they were and I left shortly afterwards leaving Beata and Justin to enjoy their meal and the evening.

Here are some images from the day.
