Josie and Richard, Thomas-a-Beckett, Warblington and Stanstead
House
Todays wedding was the highly prized 07-07-07
date and I had the pleasure of spending it with Josie and Richard at the lovely
church in Warblington near Emsworth and the wonderful Stanstead House near
Rowlands Castle.

As many of
Richard's family are French there was a large contingent, and I needed to
resurrect my schoolboy French as best I could ! but I didn't seem to offend to
many people, and as usual understood more than I could
speak...
After a wonderful service
at the church, during which the vicar allowed as many photographs as the couple
required - such a refreshing change - we moved to the grounds of Stanstead House
where after a classical car shot (which I have attached) we quietly walked down
to the old chapel and used some of the fantastic features for some relaxed time
alone. Next came the groups in a small area of shade - as this was a
fantastically sunny and warm day and then some reportage shots of guests
enjoying themselves around the
marquee.
During dinner the main
course was a lamb dish carved at the table by one of the guests, complete with
red apron. I hadn't seen this before, and it was great fun shooting the carvers
and the food !
With a large family
the speeches were varied and engaging, and I finally photographed the first
dance before slipping away and letting the party
commence.
Josie looked stunning in
her dress and I make no apology for showing her off in many of these images from
the day. Richard is a lucky guy
