A Twilight Wedding at Friern Manor - Stacey & Dwaine

A crisp October evening is perfect for a twilight wedding at the beautiful Friern Manor, and that’s exactly what Stacey and Dwaine got yesterday. 
The venue looked great, the couple looked stunning and the guests came to party - it was amazing!

I arrived at the same time as Dwaine, he was looking sharp and a little nervous, but he was ready to roll!

Stacey was upstairs in the bridal suite, looking beautiful and ready to marry her man. She got ready with her Mum, Nan and of course their little daughter Nyah - the cutest guest at the wedding by far! 

As showtime approached, it was time for Stacey’s Dad to see her in her dress all ready to go. He reacted perfectly - well done Dad!

And then the moment was upon us. To beautiful violin music courtesy of Rachel Somerset, the bridal party appeared and it’s fair to say that Stacey completely knocked Dwaine’s 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.

Then it was time for the very newly weds to have a little walk around the beautiful Friern Manor grounds with me for their couple photos.

After the delicious food had been eaten, one or two glasses of wine had been enjoyed and the speeches had been expertly delivered, it was time for Stacey and Dwaine to share their first dance together as a married couple - joined by the lovely Nyah of course.

And then… PARTY TIME! And what a party it was.

Right before it was time for me to leave them all to it, I stole Stacey and Dwaine away for just a few more minutes for a few night time photos.

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 Stacey and Dwaine’s wonderful guests for making me so welcome. I had a blast with you all. 

Hands up if you had an amazing time at Stacey and Dwaine’s wedding!
