The Country Wedding Of Dan and Holly

I Love this limage, they look so happy and in Love!



Dan and Holly are such an amazingly lovely couple. They both work locally in Hotels where I frequently Photograph Weddings. Dan works as the Wedding Co-ordinator at The Thurlestone Hotel and Holly works as receptionist at Buckland tout-Saints Hotel. I've know Holly's family for years, and was over the moon to be asked to photograph their wedding.
The Day started in the very busy Salon FLOC Contemporary Hair, in Kingsbridge, all of the ladies were being pampered all at the same time, this too is where the photography started. It then moved back to Holly's parents house in the tiny Hamlet of Ledstone, where Holly's Dads family have farmed for generations, and this was to be the recpetion venue too, with a marquee having been erected in the garden and decorated beuatifly to look like an English Garden Party. Holly made all her own Bunting too.

The ceremony was to take place at the tiny hill top church of St.Peter, situated in the neighbouring village of Goveton. After a very moving and beautiful ceremony, Holly and Dan left the church in a vintage Massey Furgeson Tractor, which look absolutely fab as we photographed it negotiating the narrow lanes back to the marquee. After stopping at the aptly named Ice Cream Tricycle we walked upto the woods where Dan and Holly had carved their initials into a tree, this couple are so so lovely and its little things like this that make them so!
After the group and family photos it was off to the marquee for the wedding breakfast and of course the speeches, which as usual made the relevant people squirm in their seats and the guests laugh!
One of the highlights of the day for me was to taje them off into the cornfields which surround the church and capture just the two of them, in love, happy and alone. i love my job and feel privilidged at every wedding for being part of the day and also being left to capture and record the happy couple and their love for each other.
Enjoy!
