Anna and Stuart wedding

Christmas just around the corner and Anna and Stuart totally steal the show with their beautiful wedding day. It was a marvellous mix of style, romanticism, festival and togetherness. The wedding was late in the day so given the date 22nd December, the day after the shortest day of the year it was inevitable the photography was going to have a rather different edge to it. This was fantastic for Earle and me as we always love working in challenging environments, when the mist started rolling in after the ceremony and the light was dropping incredibly fast the whole atmosphere was given the most lovely quiet serenity which we were able to make the most of with Anna and Stuart at the location of Evening Hill at Sandbanks while en route from their church at Lytchett Minster to the reception venue at Compton Acres. Once at Compton Acres where all the guests had travelled to by red London bus, Anna and Stuart walked through to the Italian Gardens where Earle and I were able to capture more romantic shots of them both by the water and in the fairytale grotto. Once Anna and Stuart reached their guests everyone was ready for the big group image which was to be outside - it was by now of course completely dark!!! Well thanks to the festive lighting around the Italian Garden and a little bit of extra help from us it was a resounding success.
The party after the wedding breakfast was buzzing immediately with everyone joining in the dancing with Anna and Stuart, the celebrations were going on well into the night with the Bride and Groom looking completely radiant.
The entire day was so fantastic, warm and thoroughly enjoyable. Anna you looked marvellous and Stuart looked the happiest man on earth! Very many congratulations to you both, enjoy your photographs!
