Another Somerset wedding this Saturday at the lovely Maunsel House near North Petherton. Belinda and Ian had originally planned to be married in New Zealand, where Belinda is from, but in the end a change of plans meant a traditional English wedding for them! I have known Ian and his family since I was 7 as we grew up in the same village and went to the same primary school, so it was lovely to watch him marrying the girl of his dreams! And it was clear to see that these two were very much in love.
I started the day at Maunsel House and photographed Belinda getting dressed. She had the most beautiful lace covered dress and some gorgeous Christian Louboutin shoes which she was very excited to get into! Once she was dressed I made my way across to the estate’s tiny little church St. Michael’s which was just across the grounds. There I photographed the arrival of the guests and Ian who was in great spirits! After a lovely service everyone made their way outside to congratulate the newlyweds and shower them with confetti. Then it was back to the main house for the drinks reception and time for some romantic portraits of Belinda & Ian.
During the reception and receiving line Ian couldn’t stop proudly showing off his new wife – it was so sweet! I left everyone to enjoy their meal and rejoined them later to cover the speeches and later the first dance.
