On Saturday we attended the wedding of Beth & Peter who married at St John's in Locksheath and then held their wedding reception at The Solent Hotel in Whitely.

While most of the south was watching the football derby match on TV a wedding ceremony was in full swing. The groom arrived in fantastic time who looked very calm and collected and certainly ready for action. Alastair, the best man, appeared to have everything under control. Two supporting Ushers were also in a buoyant mood!

After some casual shots around the church we then awaited the arrival of the bride. Due to church rules it was unfortunate that we could not take any snaps of the actual ceremony. It really was a personal occasion and perhaps some ambient moments could of provided the scene setter images we strive to achieve. We did manage to get a few shots during the hymns. 

It was a really really cold day. We decided to take formal photography at the church and take advantage of guests waiting inside what looked like a community room.

En route to The Solent Hotel we stopped at Titchfield Abbey for a few photographs. It was so cold we only managed a few photographs as poor old Beth was frozen. At arrival to The Solent Hotel we gave Beth and Peter some time to get warm and then moved on to their portraits. They were both brilliant to work with.
