Amanda and Jamie at Mottisfont Abbey near Romsey
Amanda and Jamie's wedding was at the lovely
Mottisfont Abbey near Romsey in Hampshire yesterday.
Amanda and Jamie's wedding was at the lovely
Mottisfont Abbey near Romsey in Hampshire yesterday. Mottisfont Abbey isn't a
volume wedding venue - and as such it is a pleasure to photograph weddings there
each year. National Trust properties make amazing wedding venues and this is no
exception.I started at the house
of Amanda's mother near Andover and was met the bride to be shortly after her
return from the hairdressers. I got some beautiful images of Amanda's
transformation as Pauline the make-up artist went to work, and found some time
to photograph the flowers and of course her wedding dress. A short drive cross
country saw me arrive at Mottisfont just before it started to rain and it really
did rain hard (reports suggest 30mm in the day - more than the entire months
worth !). Not deterred Jamie and I walked the hall and got some nice portraits,
and after conversing with the registrars I went outside to await Amanda's
arrival.The ceremony was wonderful
with great readings, some music and personal vows and with the sun breaking out
we made it outside for some photographs of the happy couple before the weather
set back in and plan B, or was it C kicked in and an alternative location was
used for the family groups. Whilst Amanda and Jamie went for a ride in the
vintage Rolls Royce wedding car I got images of the dining room, and the cake
and on their return I managed to get some informal images in the hall and on the
staircase inside and a brief moment out on the steps outside the Morning Room
including the confetti throwing before the wedding breakfast was
served.The staff at Mottisfont are
wonderful and I was able to photograph the food being plated (which I really
enjoy) and I'll post some images later, but very soon it was time for the
cutting of the cake and
speeches.Here are some images from
the day.Amanda shares a joke

Amanda
loves staircases, and I was happy to oblige firstly with Jamie in the foreground
then then on her
own.
