The whole day was filled with lots of laughter, love and amazing dedication to detail which we just LOVED.

We started our day with Laura and 2 of the craziest bridesmaids Helen and Carrie at the Grand Harbour for lots of details and prep shots,  not only did we have the usual shots but we also had Laura’s amazing bouquet that she made herself along with the rest of the details, she is so creative its amazing, there seems to be no end to her creative talents as you will see.  After an hour or so we walked through southampton to the Duke of Wellington pub to meet up with Nick and the lads and our Ring bearer “super hero” Owen who was so much fun through out the whole day.  We took a few fun shots then headed back to Laura who was ready to walk to Southampton Registry office, unfortunately it was super windy but that never put Laura off and we had a lovely walk to the registry,  after a short delay we headed inside and had a lovely service followed by a few photos outside before we headed to the Old Southampton walls for our family photos. Soon it was time to head back to the Grand Harbour for bubbles and then into the wedding breakfast.

After the meal we had the speeches which were a lot of fun and included one from the 2 bridesmaids we mentioned earlier, we then cut the cake then whisked Nick and Laura back outside for some lovely evening portraits and thankfully the wind had died down.  Back inside we soon settled into the first dance at which point we said our good-bye’s.

It was a lovely wedding with a few discreet Star war references including a fancy cake topper and some real cheesy speech references thanks Mark :-)  with a fantastic couple and their lovely son Owen.

Thanks everyone for making it a fun day

After a few shots of the boys and the rooms we headed back to Jada for the final few bits before we headed into the filled ceremony room ad after a tense 5 minute wait Jada walked in looking a million dollars and Simon was simply stunned at the bride before him,  we then had a beautiful ceremony and was then led out into the courtyard and through into the spectacular gardens at Northbrook Park for a couple of hours sipping champagne and enjoying canapés in the sunshine whilst Sue and I captured some beautiful relaxed photos of everyone, we also took some fun family photos in the walled gardens and took Simon and Jada off for some creative fun portraits before being whisked back into dinner which was scrummy thanks guys.

As we sat down for the wedding breakfast the bridesmaid stood up and played a fun Mr & Mrs Game which got the whole room laughing and then mum gave an emotional speech before the breakfast was served, afterwards we had the 3 main speeches which if you knew Simon and Jada were just as you would expect Fun Fun Fun.

After Dinner we took Simon and Jada outside again because the light was amazing and we took some beautiful twilight portraits and I am so pleased that we did they turned out amazing, then back to the room for dancing and that saw the end for Sue and I.

What a fantastic way to start our May weddings :-)  Sue and I do a lot of weddings at Northbrook Park so if you are getting married there please give us a call and we can chat.

Thanks guys for looking after us and Dave for making me smile the whole day.

Because of the rain we headed straight off to Goodwood House where Sue and I almost kept up with the Roller !  Boy that thing can move,Whilst we waited for guests to arrive we took advantage of a little dry spell and took Japp and Camilla for a few portraits around the grounds where they were greeted by there lovely little doggie Tweed who was just a tad excited to see them. We then headed back to the guests who were now tucked up inside keeping warm and out of the rain, We spent the next hour or so taking some relaxed photos of the guests and wedding party enjoying themselves as well as a few family groups before being called in for a very scrumy dinner, We had some real fun speeches in-between each course and then afterwards cake cutting.

Then as promised the fun really started and the party kicked off, we had so much fun with all the dancing, drinking and singing, the guests not us :-)

Sue and I brought our associate Joanne along because this was a large wedding so Thanks JoJo.  We had such a fun day and would like to thank both families for your patience whilst we tried to overcome the language barrier.

I hope you enjoy this slideshow of photos.

We started our day with Kimberley and the girls in the preparation bedroom for some lovely relaxed detail shots as well as Kimberley stepping into her beautiful wedding dress.  We then met with Andy and the boys, Andy, Andy, Andy and Liam,  yeah it was confusing :-)  It was not too long before the harpist started playing and we were led into the ceremony room, First the bridesmaids and then our beautiful bride who looked simply breathtaking. As her Daddy walked her slowly down the isle she never once broke her gaze from Andy, it was so romantic and the silenced room just watched and watched.  After a lovely ceremony we headed back into the main barn for drinks and nibbles and then out into the chilly courtyard for family photos which we finished pretty smartish :-)

We then took Andy and Kimberley out into the gardens for some portraits where it was just starting to snow,  can you believe it Snow at Easter !!! thankfully it never came of anything and after a few lovely and very well planned portraits we headed back into the warn and into the beautifully decorated wedding breakfast. After a wonderful wedding breakfast and some rather emotional speeches we setup our Funtime fotos which is our wedding photo booth and we started the fun :-)  we broke away to photograph the cake cutting which was a selection of lovely cupcakes and a top tier of lovelyness all covered in the most amazing sugar flowers. Then out to the Band for the first dance then back for the last hour to finish our Funtime before Sue and I said our goodbyes and headed off home after a very long but so much fun wedding day.

It would be wrong if I never game a massive shout out to everyone for making the day so much fun but none more that Andy and Kimberley,  cold and snowy goes so well with those warm and wonderful smiles.  Thank you X

Ben and Zoe are a lovely couple and as we often do Sue and I just knew the wedding would be fab, both Doctor’s and both with killer smiles its difficult not to love them, We started our day with Zoe in the bridal suite with mum and the girls and it was a real good fun filled and champagne fuelled pre wedding party, we then went outside to meet with Ben and his 2  best men for a few relaxed photos in the grounds and of course the details.  We then moved back to Zoe for final dressing and walking to the wedding ceremony which was a candle lit romantic barn, as Zoe walked in with her Dad there was a gasp of excitement and all eyes towards her Ben’s included and she looked absolutely stunning in her Jenny Packam dress and shoes flanked by a very proud dad.  The ceremony was beautiful with a couple of nice readings then outside for 5 minutes for a few photos before the rain came back,  After 30 minutes chatting and drinking we headed into the fireplace area for family groups as well as a few important family members on the beautiful stairs before we again headed outside for a few portraits,  we had so much fun dodging the showers and it made for very dramatic and  beautiful photos.  We then headed back inside before the everyone shot on the front grass whilst it rained and then into the beautifully decorated barn for dinner.  After dinner we had some lovely and very emotional speeches and thats when Sue and I finished what was a fantastic start to our 2013 wedding season.

We would like to thank Amy and Jarred who’s wedding we shot last year for recommending us and everyone at the wedding for a great day.

Ben and Zoe,  you guys were amazing, we had such a fab day and this wedding will be hard to beat this year.

Have a wonderful Honeymoon

Jules and Sue xx

The reason we finished this year so early is simply because we reached our 30 target early, for the past 3 years we have limited ourselves to 30 weddings and last year we worked up until December but this year we have already finished,  I am really pleased to say that we are over half way booked for next year to so it looks like 2013 is going to be another fab year for us.  30 weddings is a lovely number for us to do and with our studio work including our newborns it keeps us very busy but also allows us a life :-)

If your getting married in 2012 and want to chat to see if we can join you then please get in touch, if you getting married in 2013 then contact us soon whilst we still have spaces.

A huge thank you to all of our amazing couple from this year and to those we have yet to photograph we are looking forward to it too :-)

I look forward to hearing from you.

Jules

]]> http://julesandsue.co.uk/2012/10/hampshire-wedding-photographer-and-our-30-amazing-weddings-of-2012/feed/ 0 Hampshire wedding photographer – Scott and Kim get married @ Rhinefield House http://julesandsue.co.uk/2012/10/hampshire-wedding-photographer-scott-and-kim-get-married-rhinefield-house/ http://julesandsue.co.uk/2012/10/hampshire-wedding-photographer-scott-and-kim-get-married-rhinefield-house/#comments Sun, 07 Oct 2012 05:40:24 +0000 Jules http://julesandsue.co.uk/?p=6399 On Saturday Sue and I joined Scott and Kim for their lovely Autumn wedding at Rhinefield House in the heart of the New Forest national park for what turned out to be a beautiful sun filled day.  Sue and I have always loved Rhinefield and often do 6 or 7 weddings there each year, with its amazing grounds and buildings its the perfect spot for a lovely wedding day and Scott and Kim just loved it.

We started our day with Kim in the newer wing of Rhinefield for a couple of hours of preps, lots of details as well as kim getting into her beautiful maggie sottero wedding dress which looked stunning.  We mixed our time between the boys and the girls and had a great morning but soon enough it was time to walk down to the Grand Hall in Rhinefield to the waiting guests for the ceremony.   After a brief but lovely ceremony we headed outside into the sunshine for a few relaxed photos and some lovely family groups before we took Kim and Scott around the grounds for some portraits, we had lovely sunshine so made the most of the 30 minutes we had before David the toastmaster called us in for dinner.  To start with we had the speeches which were quite emotional today and then the wedding breakfast.

Like with most of our couples we had already photographed Scott and Kim when we did our free engagement shoot so we knew they would photograph well and they knew we were not pushy and this all helps to make a relaxed wedding day for them and us too.

We then ventured into the kings room where Toby our DJ was waiting to start a fun night which was kicked off with the first dance and then Daddy-Daughter dance and after that Sue and I said our goodbye’s and headed back home.

This was our last planned wedding of 2012,  we only take 30 bookings and this was wedding 30 :-)  it was a fab wedding to finish on although to be fair its a long wait until January and I am a sucker for weddings so will no doubt squeeze a couple in if we get offered :-)

Thanks to Kim and Scott and their families for a fun wedding.

Jules
