Julia & Stuart - St. Apolline's Chapel & Les Cotils

This wedding season has generally some pretty good stable weather, Julia & Stuart’s was quite the opposite - a severe gale and torrential rain all day!

However I always tell people not to worry about the weather, bad weather can often be photogenic.

Julia got ready at home with her hair and make-up artists coming to her. A stress free preparation and she was ready in plenty of time, which gave us the opportunity to have some less rushed portraits than is typically the case!

On arrival at the chapel is was a case of an umbrella and a quick sprint to the shelter of the doorway.

St. Apolline’s is always a beautiful place for a wedding, it really suits an intimate wedding like this one. Rev. Mark Charmley conducted a lovely relaxed ceremony.

Family group photographs were taken in the chapel, then everyone had to brave the extremely heavy rain and wind. Julia was protected by all the umbrellas that people had with them, not an easy task in the wind…

It was welcoming and homely at Les Cotils, where the Harry Bound room had been beautifully decorated.

Stuart gave the only speech, again nicely in character with this informal and relaxed event. Everyone had plenty of time to chat and interact before the evening music began.

A small band of people kept the dancing going throughout the night and kept others entertained.

What a lovely day, best wishes for your future together.
