My wedding season really started off on a high note that year with Charlotte and Marc’s gorgeous spring wedding day! It was a special one for me as Charlotte was a bridesmaid at one of the first weddings I ever photographed, so not only did I get to capture this wonderful day but also catch up with my past couple Martyn and Kate too. It’s always such an honour to be recommended by a past couple and it was so lovely to see them again on another happy occasion.
The day kicked off with a sunny March morning, as I met Charlotte and her bridesmaids as they enjoyed a relaxed morning getting ready at home in matching dressing gowns. Charlotte wowed us all in her Justin Alexander dress, her hair in effortless waves and carrying a bouquet of pink roses, ranunculus and astilbe. I was tearing up behind my camera as I captured her dad seeing her in her dress for the first time - a moment I am sure they’ll never forget.
They had chosen All Saints Church in the picturesque village of Turvey for their ceremony, and Marc looked sharp in his navy check suit as he waited for Charlotte at the end of the aisle. After a joyful ceremony, they left the church to handfuls of confetti thrown by their loved ones before heading to Northamptonshire for the reception.
Rushton Hall and its newly built orangery provided a beautiful backdrop for the rest of their fantastic day, the dining room dressed in white hydrangeas, pink roses and greenery and tables named inspired by Charlotte and Marc’s travels.
After dinner everyone enjoyed heartfelt speeches with laughter and happy tears all around. Their first dance started the evening off with a literal bang as confetti canons went off during their first dance, drenching them in gold confetti as they danced to My Girl by The Temptations (an excellent first dance choice!)
The dancefloor was full all evening and it was so lovely to capture Charlotte and Marc surrounded by so many of their nearest and dearest as they danced the night away.
Thank you both for asking us to capture your fantastic day! We loved every second and wish you every happiness.
