Charlie and I recently had the pleasure of photographing Lou and Gareth’s wedding earlier June. What a fantastic day it turned out to be….. exquisite details planned meticulously by this wonderful couple. Rain was forecast for the day but fortunately the sun came out and decided to stay. Not a drop of rain all day. Perfect!
The ceremony took place at a lovely venue in Hertfordshire with lots of nooks and crannies…ideal for a beautiful wedding. Coltsfoot Country Retreat has plenty of different textures and lots of lovely clean light to play with. The ceremony was beautiful and clearly touched all of the guests…and of course, the blissfully happy bride!
Following the ceremony, bubbly was served in the sun drenched gardens, serenaded by a brilliant singer Peter Savizon.
The wedding breakfast was followed by the hilarious speeches! I have photographed and listened to many wedding speeches in my time, and I can honestly say these speeches were second to none! The father of the bride’s speech consisted of a compilation of fun videos from Lou’s childhood…. I could post a whole blog full of Lou’s facial expressions during her dad’s speech! Gareth’s speech was heart warming and very touching…dry eyes were few and far between! The best men, Richie & Simon, did a joint and expertly executed speech! They certainly didn’t disappoint or fail to entertain, as expected!
Lou looked absolutely stunning on her wedding day. Her hair & make-up was done by the wonderful Mel (Wink make-up).
