Laura and Sam – Wedding Photography at Coombe Lodge

Spring Weddings at Coombe Lodge are always beautiful to photograph. Daffodils cover the bank and later in the season wild garlic carpets the wilder areas of the grounds. Laura and Sam were extremely fortunate with the weather for their Big Day on Good Friday. The Thursday was grey and wet and the saturday was grey and wet. But they picked a little patch of sunshine in a very typical British Bank Holiday weekend.

A month before their wedding I spent the morning with the Summerhayes family capturing some pre-wedding images at Coombe Lodge to make sure the couple and their two lovely girls Jessie and Mia were comfortable with the camera. That particular morning was a great success and I captured loads of gorgeous family shots. However on the day of the wedding the term ‘not playing ball’ was a term coined for Jessie. My two daughters are exactly the same age as Mia and Jessie within just a few weeks of one another and I know full well that when there is a three year old who doesn’t want to do something, there is no amount of bribery and blackmail that will persuade them otherwise. Luckily Laura and Sam were extremely relaxed about this and I captured natural and relaxed shots of them and their guests enjoying the special day. As the registrar Paula said (during the ceremony when Jessie clung to her Daddy and whimpered through the vows and first kiss) it’s moments like these that you look back on and treasure in years to come….and never let your daughter forget, particularly during the planning stages of her own wedding in the future!

My images are about moments. Not just standing in lines and smiling for the camera. It’s the moment your daughter races down the aisle into her Daddy’s arms. The children running around the grounds gathering up eggs in an Easter trail. The break in the romantic couples portraits for the bride and groom to spot the bestman mooning in the distance and to get that shot of genuine laughter (and the shot of the bestman’s bottom.)…..It’s making sure the Groom’s beloved mini is as photographed as his beautiful bride.

Loved Laura’s colours and style. Multiway dresses in champagne, truffle and delicate pink with soft grecian hair adorned with gypsophilia. Laura’s sister Kirsten and a team of students from Weston College created the complete bridal party’s wedding look. A beautiful variety of hairstyles that ran along the same theme and elegant makeup, looked brilliant once complete, and the girls should be very proud of their work.

Congratulations Laura and Sam. Thank you for a brilliant day!
