A Friern Manor Wedding - Zoe & Ricky

What an amazing day Zoe and Ricky had yesterday at the beautiful Friern Manor.
These two weren’t going to let a rainy day spoil their wedding and it was a pleasure to be there to capture it for them.

Zoe got ready with her bride squad in the bridal room and they had a lovely morning together.

Meanwhile, Ricky was nervously awaiting his beautiful bride. He didn’t need to wait long though, Zoe was right on time and obviously she completely knocked his socks off!

The ceremony itself was lovely. Short and very sweet and all sealed with a big ol’ smooch and a walk back down the aisle to whoops and applause from some very excited guests.

Because we were experiencing biblical rain, instead of taking photos in the waterlogged gardens, we stayed behind in the ceremony room to get these beauties.

Friern Manor is so well prepared for wet weather that they actually have an indoor garden - so group shots were a breeze and everyone stayed dry.

And when there was a little break in the rain, we got to go outside to play with the reflections.

After the delicious food had been eaten, one or two glasses of wine had been enjoyed and the speeches had been expertly delivered, the rain had held off long enough for us to get everyone outside for the confetti shot that we had to quite literally take a rain check on earlier in the day.

Aannnnd then the rain returned with a vengeance, but that’s okay, I’m quite fond of a rainy wedding evening because it allows for photos like this one.

Oh and by the way, how cool was their cake!?

Before we knew it, it was time for Zoe and Ricky to enjoy their first dance together as a married couple.

And then… PARTY TIME!

That’s all for this little preview, folks.

An incredible 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 and re-live some more beautiful moments.

Huge thanks to all at Friern Manor for taking such good care of me as always, and for making sure everything ran smoothly. Special thanks to Jordan and Jo.

Thanks too to all of Zoe and Ricky’s wonderful guests for making me so welcome. I had a blast with you all.
