Adam and Naz booked us as a Simplicity package with our favourite videographers, FX Films, so it was great to catch up with them on the day, and work together with such a gorgeous and ‘up for anything’ couple. Although the day started off a bit cloudy, the sun seemed to break through in the afternoon just in time for the ‘confetti run’ and some very funky couple shots. The couple shots were not in our usual style but the opportunity of the blue fence was too good to pass up and it was brilliant fun.

The emotion of the day could clearly be seen on Naz’s face during the couples romantic first dance, thanks for a great day Naz and Adam.

They married at the beautiful Upminster Methodist Church, and followed the service with a marquee reception nearby where the drink flowed, and due to the very emotional speeches (including one from Claire) the tears did too!

Further to the blog entry where we showed the fantastic highlights clip for Laura and Grants wedding video by FX Films, (the clip can be seen by clicking here) here are a few photo highlights of the day. The venue was the stunning Eastlands Estate in West Sussex, which is surrounded by acres of manicured lawns, picturesque lakes as well as an outdoor pool and hot tub outside the house.

Despite the heat (there were some pretty impressive cases of sunburn by the end of the day, and that included the photographers), the pool and hot tub didn’t attract any wedding guests looking to cool off, although one guest did decide to go for a skinny-dip in the lake, which was captured in both the photos and video.

Grants dad who was referred to as ‘The Rockstar’ by some of the guests, lived up to his name by rounding up groupies for a ‘nipple licking’ photo opportunity, meanwhile Laura’s dad and bridesmaids were busy on the rope swing in the grounds.

Once the couple had had their romantic first dance, and Grant had wowed everyone with his MJ dancing to ‘Blame it on the boogie’, the DJ started playing cheese classics such as ‘ooh ah’ by Gina G, everyone hit the floor, and stayed there for the rest of the night.

The day was perfectly rounded up by an amazing sunset, which we used as a backdrop for some beautiful shots of the lovely Laura and Grant.

Lauren gave herself the task of planning and making so many of the details for the day, as well as having to completely change the venue. she managed to somehow find time to make the save-the-dates and invitations, the centrepieces, the seating chart, the bouquet for chucking, customised her shoes and bolero as well as organising her two fantastic outfits for the day!

The wedding was quite an alternative ‘rock’ style, with the colour scheme being fuschia pink, deep purple and black. Lauren co-ordinated perfectly with her purple and pink make up and hair streaks, as did her mum who proudly walked Lauren down the aisle, and we also loved that one of her and Tims friends had dyed his hair purple for the day, that’s true friendship!

The weather was gorgeous, and meant the happy couple and guests could while the afternoon away on the terrace overlooking the sea drinking pimms and champagne, before Lauren changed for the evening reception into her fantastic 50s style dress complete with fuschia sash, matching shoes and lace fingerless gloves to dance the night away.

All in all, a wonderful day with a lovely couple. Lauren and Tim – you guys rock! x

The photos are soon to appear on here, but in the meantime, here is a highlights clip of the wedding video by FX Films which features among other things, giant champagne glasses, nudity and nipple licking! You have been warned!

They have just put together a showreel of the weddings covered over the last year which shows how they have an incredible knack for capturing the emotion of the day as well as the funny little moments that may pass you by on your wedding day.

Henley and I also have a few ‘starring’ roles so see if you can spot us, although its not exactly hard to notice my terrible bouquet toss!

Selena looked absolutely stunning, and as she is a designer every detail was carefully planned and tied in with the colourscheme perfectly, she even customised her own dress!

Below are a selection of images from the day.

For those of you that havent seen the previous blog entry, FX Films did the wedding video for our very own wedding last April which we adore. If you want to have a nosy at our highlights clip, check it out on the FX Films showreels page.

The venue was Lakeview Manor in Dunkeswell in Devon but as Leesa was heading in from Taunton in Somerset with her bridal party, she decided a vintage bus would be the way to do it in style.

We’ve been in touch with Leesa for almost two years while she planned and prepared for the day and as every bride knows, the only thing you can’t plan is the weather. I think in this case though, Leesa somehow managed to because it was one of the hottest days of the year and was beautifully sunny with a clear blue sky! This allowed us to get some absolutely lovely shots of the happy couple and all their guests during the ceremony and enjoying drinks afterwards on the lawn.
