On Saturday I photographed the very colourful wedding of Nneka & Tom. Starting in the morning with Nneka at The Grange, Oborne, I photographed her final make-up preparations before she got into her fabulous bead-covered dress with the help of her six bridesmaids. Then I headed over to the church in North Cadbury to meet up with groom Tom, and to photograph the arrival of the guests. And with 300 guests they just kept on arriving! It was quite fortunate that Nneka arrived at church half an hour later than scheduled as many guests were still arriving minutes before!
After a lovely service, including some readings by the couple’s friends everyone poured outside into the sunshine to congratulate the newlyweds and shower them with confetti. Next it was time to make our way the short distance to Yarlington House where the reception and rest of the day was to be hosted. Yarlington House is a lovely private residence that hosts a small number of weddings each year, and has the honour of being a place where Napoleon once stayed.
As soon as we arrived I stole Nneka and Tom away to get some romantic couples portraits of the two of them around the grounds of the house, whilst, their guests got to enjoy themselves on the lawn with canapes and drinks. Soon enough it was time for everyone to make their way into the marquee ready for the meal. The marquee was decorated beautifully with some amazing floral arrangements courtesy of the brilliant Sabine at Glily, also based in Yarlington.
