Karen and Tim were married in Southampton and held their reception in Chilworth Manor.

I was fortunate to get some lovely photographs of their day, and the magazine were very keen to feature them in this round. As usual we would appreciate any help Karen and Tim’s families, our regular blog readers, Facebook fans and most importantly the readers of Your Hampshire Wedding magazine can give to this great couple to see if we can have them win this round and join Andrea and Dale in the final.

You can view their voting page on the Your Hampshire Wedding website, and if you can’t remember them here is an image from their day.

Your Hampshire Wedding: Karen and Tim - round 3 shortlisted couple

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.

This is a lovely venue, and one I haven’t been to for some time, which of course will change in a few weeks when they hold their reception there. Twin that up with a lovely wedding venue, and this is a day I’m very much looking forward to. As usual this is a great time to get to know my couples better and try out some images. We covered a fair amount of the grounds and then retired inside to check out the lovely gallery about the bar area before getting a drink and going over the details for the big day.

Here are some of the images.
