Oh I love a winter wedding especially close to Christmas time, there is just a special festive vibe in the air. Sophie and Benedict had an extension to their Christmas holidays with their very special day at The Green in Cornwall. They were supposed to get married last year and I’m pleased they could finally tie the knot. And weather wise, they were blessed with a dry winter’s day, December was definitely a better month to get married than August or October last year!
I met Sophie in the new bridal suite for her bridal preparation images, it was super busy in there so mum had to sit in the bath with her bubbles to watch everyone getting ready. No not the bubbles in the bathwater, I meant the drinking kind ha ha!
We also visited the guys to capture their last stages of getting ready. They were definitely in great spirits and a fun bunch to photograph.
Sophie’s dad was very excited to see his daughter in her dress the first time, what a moment to witness…
After the ceremony we ventured into the Green’s beautiful woodland for some couple portraits. I had a great time working with Chris from Babalu films again. It’s been years we worked together last. I’m usually working on my own and it’s refreshing working with videographers, when its the right ones…working as a team can refresh or ignite your creativity!
After the speeches we went back outside for a sparkler exit whilst The Green team cleared the barn for the evening entertainment. With it getting dark so early in December the party got in full swing pretty early and the dance floor was soon filled with everyone dancing. Benedict’s dad was the star of the evening with showing off some impressive dance moves and ending up on the floor several times! I don’t want to know how his hangover felt like the next day…
So here you go, the last wedding in 2021, some of my favourite shots from the day below.
