A Friern Manor, Dunton Wedding - Natalie & James

What a day Natalie and James had at the lovely Friern Manor in Dunton on Sunday. 
I arrived nice and early and the staff at Friern Manor already had everything ready - the place looked great - so I got the drone up in the air as well as taking some external shots.

Natalie got ready in the manor house with her bride squad and two little legends.

Meanwhile, James was excitedly awaiting his bride.

Natalie didn’t keep him waiting too long though. Soon enough she was walked down the aisle by her very proud Dad.
It all got a little bit emotional and James did the decent thing and had a little cry. 

The ceremony itself was short and very sweet and was all sealed with a big ol’ kiss!

It was a little bit chilly out, but not so much so that we couldn’t take a little stroll around the beautiful Friern Manor grounds.

And we got to take some pretty great group shots out there too.

As night drew in, everyone headed back inside to the indoor garden for some drinks.
 

Before we even knew it, it was time for the newlyweds to have their first dance.

And then…. Party time!

Right before it was time for me to leave them to it, I grabbed the happy couple for one more little shoot outside. One of the very best things about being a photographer at Friern Manor is that the gardens transform at night time and I can get pictures like this:

That’s all for this little preview, folks.

What a day for the most wonderful couple. 

I’ll add one or two more pictures from this day to the Facebook and Instagram pages as I edit them, so feel free to follow along over there.

Huge thanks to all at Friern Manor for taking such good care of me and for making sure everything ran so smoothly - what a team! 

Thanks too to all of Natalie and James’ wonderful guests for making me so welcome.
