So the third of my weddings last week was that of Jo and Martin which took place at Tone Dale House in Somerset. Jo said during her pre-dinner speech that she had never dreamed of getting married when she was younger and that she always thought if she did then she’d do it in jeans! Well all I can say is that she must have gone from no ideas to LOADS of ideas because this wedding had so many lovely details that must have taken months to plan, source and make!
From the gorgeous vintage style dress to the bunting and photographs in the trees, to the “serve your own cider” bar in the garden to the amazing stationery for the invites, menus and place settings…it was all beautifully done.
I think it’s fair to say that Jo was pretty nervous when I first arrived as she was getting ready, so I tried my best to put her at ease. Tone Dale House is a big private house that you can hire out for events such as weddings, so the whole place was full of the couple’s family and friends getting ready for the celebrations. This meant I was able to pop between Jo and Martin’s rooms to cover both of them getting ready…which is always fun.
After the wedding ceremony the sun came out, so everyone made their way outside to enjoy some drinks and chatting on the lawns by the river. I stole Jo and Martin away for a few moments to get some romantic portraits of the two of them…even making use of one of the lovely little wedding details hanging from a nearby tree.
Congratulations Jo & Martin!!!
Jo & Martin’s full gallery will go online in a few week’s time (once the bride and groom have had a chance to view them first!) but you can register here to be notified when the gallery goes live. In the meantime here are a few images from their day:
