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. 

A snowy winter wonderland setting for the most amazing couple - Mandy and Colin were married yesterday at Highley Manor and it was just glorious. 

It was the first time I had taken my drone to a wedding and with the wintery setting, I was so glad I did.

Mandy and her girls got ready at Highley Manor and it was the most relaxed and fun bridal room you could imagine. No stress, no panic, just laughs and fun (and lots of talk about jelly boobs!)

Soon enough, it was show time and Colin, looking like the sharp and dapper silver fox that he is, was awaiting his bride patiently. He didn’t have to wait too long though, Mandy was right on time.

The ceremony itself was very sweet and lovely. It was all sealed with a smooch and a walk back down the aisle to whooping, cheering and confetti!

Shortly after, I stole the happy couple and took them outside to the frosty garden for some pictures. It was freezing but totally worth it. 

Back inside, in the warm and these little cuties wanted to take a picture to surprise Mandy and Colin with, so here you go guys… Surprise! 

I usually don’t go into the room while people are eating during the wedding breakfast, but Mandy had let me know that she had planned to surprise everyone (including Colin) with some singing waiters. And goodness what a joy it was!

As evening drew in, it was time for Mandy and Colin’s first dance and it was so lovely.

Immediately after the first dance had been danced, these little legends made full use of the props available.

All too soon it was just about time for me to sneak off and leave Mandy, Colin and their guests to enjoy the night. But first, I was able to sneak the happy couple out into the freezing night just one more time for this little beauty!

That’s all for this little preview, folks.

What a day for the most wonderful, funny and fun loving couple. 

And I didn’t even mention Colin’s speech! #ifyouknowyouknow

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 Highley Manor for taking such good care of us, especially to Lynne for making sure everything ran so smoothly - what a superstar! 

Thanks too to all of Mandy and Colin’s wonderful guests for making us so welcome. 

Becky and Andrew had the most incredible day on Saturday in the frosty chill of winter.

I find winter weddings to be incredibly romantic and magical, especially when the couple are happy to brave the cold and spend a bit of time outside - and these two most certainly were!

I met up with Becky and her crew nice and early at Westhall Barn, where they were getting ready. It was a lovely relaxed atmosphere and everyone was in good spirits.

Soon, it was dress time and while Becky was getting buttoned in, her girls were waiting for her in the next room ready for the big reveal. It’s fair to say that she took their breath away!

Soon after we hit the frosty road and headed to St Mary & St Nicholas Church in Littlemore for the ceremony. By the time Becky arrived the car had a little extra detail added. 

Andrew was inside excitedly awaiting his bride. He didn’t need to wait too long before Becky made her entrance and knocked his socks off!

The ceremony itself was full of joy and love. All sealed with a kiss and a stroll back down the aisle to whoops, cheers and huge applause.

Then we all had some much needed tea, coffee and cake and took some pictures in the church grounds.

After that, we left the church to confetti and checkered flags and we were all off to The Windmill in Burford for the reception.

While the guests all warmed themselves by the heaters inside, I kept Becky and Andrew out in the crisp afternoon just a little bit longer for some pictures in the frosty scenery.

Back inside and some very talented members of the wedding party were entertaining everyone with beautiful music.

After the food was eaten and the speeches spoken, it was time for a first dance in front of the Christmas tree. As a special surprise, Becky had professionally recorded their first dance song - and let me tell you, she can really sing! 

Just as I was leaving I caught some cheeky groomsmen graffitiing Becky and Andrew’s car. For the new Mr and Mrs Morrey ‘Just Morried!’   

That’s all for this little preview, folks.

What a day for the most wonderful and lovely 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 The Windmill for taking such good care of us.

Thanks too to all of Becky and Andrew’s wonderful guests for making me so welcome. 
Special shout out to Hayley and Josh for essentially becoming my assistants at certain points of the day!
