Claire & Eric

During the speeches it was noted that this wedding was all about the couple's friends and family, this was so very true.  A more people centred wedding is rarely encountered, this circle of friends seemed exceptionally close.

Claire looked very special, with her bridesmaids.

Eric was also very relaxed and making the most of having the chance of a chat and a laugh.

Soon Claire had arrived at St. James, always a spectacular location.  The emotions were plainly visible, they just looked so happy.

We had a quick stop at Candie Gardens before the reception at Les Rocquettes.

I hadn't been to Les Rocquettes since the leaving party of my good friend Alex Wallace when he left for New Zealand, Derek from the hotel sends his best regards Alex if you're reading this.  The interior was beautifully decorated and the food was much appreciated.

The speeches were a great laugh, some of those jokes may have been old ones, but I still found them funny!  There was no evening dance, just more mingling and mixing with great friends, that's what this event was all about.

Annette & Andrew

Annette & Andy's wedding was a relaxed and initmate day.  We had the opportunity to take some lovely pictures of the children in the morning with Annette.

The groomsmen got ready just a short walk from St. James where the ceremony took place.

 Annette was obviously excited to see everyone waiting for her as she arrived.

After the ceremony we all stayed at St. James for a while, a good chance for the newly weds to meet all their family and friends, all the while accompanied to the music of Colin Falla.

The reception was held at the Farmhouse Hotel, again beautifully decorated by Tessa and her team at Amour Weddings.

Not one, but two best men gave speeches.  They provided a great insight into the life and antics of the groom!

Plus one of the bestmen had a little birthday surprise awaiting him.

There is always lots to photograph at any wedding, this one was no different.

How about this for a gentle game of croquet.......

As the sun set the evening fun commenced.

The youngsters did a lot of dancing, yet some perferred a more static form of entertainment.

Hope you enjoy this little preview of such a great day.

Victoria & Matthew

Victoria and Matthew's wedding took place on an absolutely glorious day, sunny, warm and light winds.  One drawback of this was that the surf was non-existent, so the boys had to make do with a bit of fun playing with stones on the beach.

With something a bit more dramatic....

Matthew looked rather cool as they got ready.

Meanwhile Victoria and her bridesmaids were very relaxed as they paddled their feet while sipping champagne and strawberries, a very pleasant way to spend a sunny morning.

The wedding dress had some exquisite detailing, Victoria was obviously excited and looked so pretty.

Onto the Vale Church, all in good time, in fact a few minutes early.

That heart shaped confetti was beautiful as it fluttered from the deep blue sky.

Harsh sunlight can give a few problems for photography, but it is my job to also create opportunities.  We made the most of a quick stop at the common on the way to the reception at the Bella Luce Hotel.

With such lovely weather the guests made the most of the garden party atmosphere.

Unsurprisingly we were treated to some eloquent and amusing speeches before the dancing commenced.

As night fell the setting was perfect for a great finale for such a wonderful couple.  Best wishes for your future together Vicky and Matthew.
