Southdowns Manor Wedding with Ellie and Ashley

Yesterday’s cracking wedding went down at Southdowns Manor in Petersfield with Ellie and Ashley. https://www.southdownsmanor.co.uk/ Incredible weather started the day off and on arrival it was apparent that this was gonna be a hot one!

The flowers arrived and the most amazing wedding dress hung beautifully. The flowers were a wonderful tone to match the bridesmaids dresses.

She’s a little firecracker and was looking amazing. The bridesmaids were popping corks […]

Greeted with smiley faces and to my suprise everyone was so calm. Letting the bride know things are under control always seems to help. However I didn’t need to. Tom, (Lucy’s lad), was such a great help, nothing was too much trouble and being taller than myself enabled us to manover the wedding dress to heights I couldn’t reach for photos. Cheers Tom! The whole family were so relaxed. Make up and hair was under way. I fell into a nice relaxing environment, knowing the makeup artist had things chill. Starting with details of the preps, following with some wedding portrait photography and overalls. Always good to get the […]
