The Saunders Family

I had the pleasure of shooting at Hicks Farm once again but with the wonderful Saunders and extended family!

The 5 original Saunders – who are now spread far and wide from each other -used to come to Hicks farm when they were younger.  So this visit filled with memories and meaning for them.  Despite the cold weather, they made the most of being in this beautiful area!

These guys were fantastic company and up for a lot of fun with their lovely kiddies and of course not forgetting little lickey Lady (the cutest dog in the world!).

Here’s a selection of the photos…

 

 

Sam & Jamie

I had SUCH a lovely time shooting this wedding at the gorgeous Wilde Lodge.  It was a super chilled yet rather emotional occasion – just stuffed full of love.

On the 1st of June, Sam & Jamie, along with their children, performed a hand fasting ceremony to solidify their marriage. The hand-made cords included pendants of a Lily and a Robin to represent their children.

There were some lovely details throughout the day :-

  • Home made bunting,
  • Performances and readings were done by family and friends – a talented bunch indeed!
  • Croquet on the lawn,
  • The children picked flowers and decorated the cake at the end of the meal,
  • And I loved the local cat…

The venue of Wilde Lodge is regal, intimate and surrounded by beautiful nature – Jemma and her team provide a fantastic service too – the food looked epic!  I’m rather excited to shoot another wedding here at the end of the month 🙂

 

A massive congratulations to Sam and Jamie in your new wedded bliss!

 

Ceri & Ed

What a LUSH Bride and Groom I got for this wedding…they were serious fun!

I shot Ceri’s lovely sister’s wedding a few years ago, so it was great going back to a family I knew, with a few more cute wee additions!

Following tradition Ceri and Ed had the wedding at Carno Chapel with their tipi reception tent just a stones throw away. It was such a lovely relaxed day all being close together … In fact you can see the chapel, tent and family house in the background of their couple shots on the hill!

It was a pleasure to photograph a couple that were so close.  Ceri & Ed have been together for over 12 years and you can see that bond – an absolutely fab couple!

Highlights of the day for me were…

  • Ceri getting putting the ring on the wrong finger and having a laughing fit,
  • Ed getting a confetti bomb to the face (sorry Ed, but it was hilarious),
  • Ceri nearly went flying onto mud during the couple shots but she just laughed – What a gal!
  • Amazing bridesmaids – the big ones and little ones,
  • Night time face gems for everyone,
  • Some serious dance floor action!

All in all this was an absolute corker.

Congrats to Ceri & Ed – I wish you all the best with lots of laughs to come (although I think that’s a given with Ceri around)!
