There is nothing more special than being invited back to photograph a second wedding in a family you’ve already grown to love. Several years ago now, we had the huge pleasure of photographing Hannah’s sister’s wedding; that day still stands out one of my favourites…I remember feeling so welcome and touched by the closeness within the family, in fact, I recall being a touch emotional as we left that evening! Needless to say, when Hannah got in touch to say that she wanted us to be a part of her journey, there was no way that I was going to miss it…plus, I couldn’t wait to see her family again!
Hannah and Tom married at Gorse Hill, an intimate and elegant manor house set in beautiful countryside in Surrey. It was really important to Hannah and Tom to find a venue that felt true to them, somewhere that would feel homely and relaxed whilst maintaining a feeling of luxury. Gorse Hill delivered on all counts, the staff were welcoming and helpful and being a De Vere Hotel, all their family and friends could stay at the house as well!
I love that Hannah and Tom’s personalities really came through, the flowers had to be Daffodils, Hannah’s favourites, Tom looked fabulous in a tweed suit (very him!) and the table plan was designed around the Hannah Wrendale Woodland theme…with the top table being the Owl table…as Hannah is, I quote, a ‘little bit obsessed’ with Owls. Gorse Hill did a great job of making the day personal to Hannah and Tom and wrapped it up with a fabulous cheesy disco. Everyone knows I love a cheesy disco…and yes…I did have a bit of a boogie!
Right, less wedding chatter and more wedding photography!
Enjoy!
