The ceremony was at St Saviours Church in Pimlico, and the ceremony was at The Savile Club, a stunning 18th century members club, a stones throw from Claridges in Mayfair. The Savile Club (so called as it once used to be based on Savile Row) has a stunning ballroom with huge sweeping staircase all in an elegant  Louis XVI style as it has been for over 100 years.

Bernadette looked the epitome of a beautiful bride in her long silk and lace dress, and David couldn’t have been happier to see her elegantly make her way down the aisle to him. After the romantic church ceremony (complete with fantastic singers) the guests headed off for The Savile Club in the routemaster buses laden with champagne, while the new Mr and Mrs Plowman headed there in a vintage taxi having some time alone together before the reception.

Bernadette had enlisted the wonderful wedding planner Amanda Sherlock to make sure the day only went with the one hitch, and who made sure the day went like clockwork for the happy couple whilst making sure to stay in the background, I would highly recommend her for anyone needing a wedding planner as she and her team were all brilliant on the day.

You may also recognise Ben and Rachel in a few of the photos below, whose wedding we covered at Brympton back in 2010 and who introduced us to Bernadette and David. Thanks guys it was great to see you both again.

Below are a few of our personal favourites from the day.

With that being said we wanted to wish all our couples who have chosen us to document one of the most important days of their lives a very merry married Christmas. Thank you for choosing us, trusting us and allowing us to do what we love the most in life!

The day itself was really lovely, sunshine throughout the day and the sea front in Lyme Regis is always picturesque. They held their reception at Peek house, a great place which also has its own private beach, cinema room and even a games room (see below).

Due to it being a more intimate wedding party I photographed this wedding alone.

The day itself started off misty and grey, not ideal weather but gave a dramatic windswept feel to the fort and with the views over the English Channel from the bridal suite. The fort is very atmospheric on the inside and the arched brickwork in the ceremony room, drapes and fairy lights made it feel very cosy while the winds howled outside.

After the ceremony, the rain stopped, the fog cleared and best of all the sun came out briefly allowing for a few photos on the beach before the wedding breakfast and inevitable letting down of hair!

Maunsel House really has to be seen to be appreciated – the owner Sir Benjamin Slade and his wife Kirsty have painstakingly filled each room with family heirlooms photos and portraits mixed in with guns (lots of guns!), stuffed animals and plenty of hats. Sounds bizarre, but it is excellent. In the hallway there is a stuffed bear with a pipe in his mouth, a lion wearing a police helmet in the drawing room, and a genuine stuffed Dodo in the bar!

Here are a few photos to show their day.

Jenna had spent a year and half planning the wedding, so it was great to see everything come together on the day. They had also managed to keep the amazing fireworks at the end of the night as a surpirse from their guests who thought they were breaking off dancing to go and see Jenna throw her bouquet.

Jenna looked an absolute vision in her gorgeous custom made fishtail gown which appeared to be no problem to dance in as can be seen in the evening photos below!

We also had the pleasure of working with Life Video Productions who are producing Jenna and Phil’s wedding video.

The ceremony was at the magnificent Heythrop Park and the day was every bit as fantastic as Kate and Rich had planned, even down to the vibrant pink and purple colour scheme matching perfectly with the beautiful sunshine (one of the hottest days of the year no less).

Nikki Loy entertained everyone during the drinks and canapes, and after a few glasses during dinner everyone hit the bouncy castle and surf simulator before making their way to the dancefloor (both of us included, Laura can be seen rocking out in the pictures below) and then heading outside to watch the new Mr and Mrs Wakefield release some sky lanterns.

Most of the photography was covered by just myself with Laura covering the more main parts of the day as we were both guests also.

Finally, the day was nicely rounded off with Kate discovering that the hotel bar was open until 2:30am!

Laura’s photo from Lizzie and Joe’s wedding earlier this year, came 14th place in the ‘ceremony’ category.

Below is the winning image:

Jane and David definitely dropped themselves in the thick of it, organising and having their wedding at the same time as both starting new jobs, buying a house and Jane graduating – no mean feat! They picked the beautiful Lansdowne Club for their day which has a stunning opulant ballroom that was fantastic for photography, and had an amazing old school glamour and art deco feel to it.

The colour scheme was red, a traditional Chinese wedding colour as it signifies good luck and prosperity, which looked lovely in the gold and cream ballroom. Jane looked absolutely beautiful in her Suzanne Neville wedding dress, although did say it wasn’t the most comfortable thing she had ever worn!

They had flown over from Dubai to get married at the beautiful venue of St Audries Park which has an onsite church, St Etheldredas within the grounds of the stately house, and where they had their moving church service.

Steph looked the beautiful bride in her strapless dress and her dad was proudly beaming at her and Paul throughout the day. His first language is German so doing his father of the brides speech in English to a crowd of mostly English people and managing to have everyone in stitches was no mean feat! Paul also stirred the emotions in the room when he did a very touching speech about Steph which managed to have most of the women in the room dabbing their eyes.
