Just magic. Only way to describe this wedding.
Guy and Louise both work in high-end hotel and event management and it showed! Every little detail had been pain painstakingly seen to. Now, sometimes, this can somehow make the day a bit sort of, well, arranged, but this was nothing like that – it was chilled, relaxed, completely romantic and everyone was having a fantastic time.
And all that even though the rain really did set in just as we wanted to capture the group shots. Oh well, there are some details you just can’t control no matter how skilled you are!
The wedding was held in Aston Rowant church which is stunningly beautiful. Not that there are many old churches that are distinctly ugly (it took modern architects to truly screw up such a simple bit of architecture!) but this one is particularly lovely.
After the wedding, everyone piled up to The Sir Charles Napier in Chinnor. Well, when I say everyone ‘piled’ up to the reception, everyone except for the bride and groom – they travelled up in real style in a coach-and-horses. I have to admit that I’ve never photographed one of these at a wedding before so this was truly a first for me (and something I was really excited about!) and so I should have been – it made for some really interesting images!
It has to be said that The Charles Napier was unreal. As anyone who knows me will attest, I am a huge fan of venues who have a) a real sense of detail and quality and b) don’t let that get in the way of being friendly and hospitable. In the same vane as The Crazy Bear and Le Manoir Aux Quat’ Saisons (other venues we regularly photograph at and love – each in their own particular way), the Charles Napier had it all. I was particularly impressed with the way the outside had been transformed into the most romantic and cozy dining room (have a look at the photo) and the food was to die for.
Anyway, here are just a few images to show you – let me know what you think.
Cheers
