Emma & Tom's Wedding @ Harbour View Hotel Christchurch

Friday the 13th..........who the hell would book a wedding on this date.

haha

if that is what you were thinking then, you wouldnt be alone. im not that supersticouse and obviosly nor are Tom & Emma who had the pick of ALL of the hotels in Dorset & Hants with this date. Its pretty genius actualy..... i dont think they had many hassels with friends and familys with clashing dates thats for sure.


Emma found out about my work through some meutral friends. Being a tattooist she draws on allot of them ;-) and luckily my friends pointed her in my dirrection. With my experiance with Music promotional work Emma & Tom were happy enough for me to use my creativity on the day as i wished. I felt happy to be hired on the basis of what i have done in the past in another form so i was dead looking forward to this date :D






with a 100+ guests and very comfortable couple in front of the camera this lead to a fair few photos taken. so i tried to just upload a couple into my blog for this day but i couldnt keep the number down so call this a WARNING...........this page may take a while to load up haha. so grab a cup of tea n let it load up :D or just close this window and go back to your farm on facebook. :-) hehe







The Day started with me turning up farrr too early (no traffic) so redbull was drunk n kit triple checked and i met Emma who was just finnishing up doin her hair and make-up in her room. oh and eagerly waiting to put on her dress :-)

So then it was time for all hands on deck..oh i mean bride









having time to do a quick portrait before the service once dressed is a blessing.




Tom was oh so smartly dressed to though :-)







The Kiss went on for so long i had time to get two angles on it......win for me. oh and Tom :D




Once the service was over we went outside where it looked like the heavens was about to open any second. we were all very lucky as it held off for just enough time to grab some group shots of the 2 familys and the big large shot of everyone!







I managed then to steal the bride and groom for 20mins to get some couple shots overlooking the harbour. This was where i could test out my new Trisync Flash holder. Big thx for Greg for being my lightstand :D





















Then we had the Reception & Speaches, Plenty of bubbles




and plenty of laughs too thanks to the best man!













The cake perfectly matched the brides boquet and i believe it was "Death by sponge"

*budum tish*







hmmm i need to get out more




The party carried on after into the garden (i think i need to work on my ninja moves - i keep getting spotted)


eeeeerm this one speaks for itself :-) i entitle it "win"











and once the evening guests started to arrive the disco got going downstairs....
I snuck the Bride and groom off once again at sunset to grab some evening shots by the bench and water. (it was also a great time to grab some fresh air too :)











The first dance was followed by a preformance by local rockers "Lady Winwoods Maggot"
The party was lively beforehand but these guys just took it to the next level.


















If i had to pick one photo to some up the day for me it would be this one.....

Everyone who attended the day made it amazing. such a atmosphere all day!

Kudos to Emma & Tom and best of luck for your future together!
