Jemma & Matthew - Forest Church & The Farmhouse Hotel

What a gorgeous day everyone had on Jemma & Matt's wedding.  The day after midsummer's day we were treated to clear blue skies and warm conditions.

Conveniently the hairdresser was just across the road from Jemma's parents house, very useful.

Jemma loked amazing in her sparkling dress, she certainly got some stunned reactions when her dad and bridesmaids saw her...

How many bridesmaids does it take to put a veil in...?  Luckily the hairdresser was able to pop in to show how to do it correctly.

Not so much for the groomsmen to do to get ready, except for a bit of gymnastics to get that jacket on!

The Forest Church was the only choice for this couple.  Matthew's granddad, Rev. Shaw, was once the long serving rector of the parish.

Rev. Claire Claxton conducted a lovely ceremony.

We stopped by Petit Bot for some pictures before going to The Farmhouse Hotel for the reception.

Last of the Light Brigade were just brilliant, the dance floor was quite frantic at times.

What a remarkable day.  We took a few compositions at night outside, always fun to create some more artistic pictures.

A slightly different image to finish off with, this shows off the back of Jemma's dress to great effect too.
