Elisha & Ben - Castel Church and a reception in Herm

What a spectacular day this was! Elisha & Ben got married at the Castel Church, then everyone made their way either on the Trident or a couple of private boats to Herm for the reception. Logistically tricky, but well planned and all went perfectly.

Elisha got ready with her bridesmaids at her parents’ house, all very relaxed and stress free.

The Castel Church was beautifully decorated with flowers and Rev. Scott Lamb, and his assistant Bev, conducted a lovely ceremony.

It looked like the rain was moving in as people gathered outside the church. The flower girl, Ruby, was undoubtedly one of the sweetest and most well behaved flower girls we have come across!

Elisha and Ben travelled to Herm on a small speedboat, no problem out-running the rain on the fastest trip I have ever had to Herm! Tricky to take pictures at approaching 50kts, but certainly a dramatic scene.

The marquee was beautifully decorated, the cake was was quite exquisite with finely crafted details. Obviously a huge amount of work had gone into the nautical themed decor, someone must have developed sore fingers tying all those monkey fist knots!

Everyone had drinks in the White House Hotel conservatory before being called in for some very entertaining speeches. The rain became very heavy for virtually the rest of the day, but everyone was nice and snug in the marquee.

Cool Beans were the band for the night, what an excellent job they did. But then anyone who plays Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix as part of their wedding song list is going to be recommended by me!

To end off the day before the ferry ride back to St. Peter Port we were treated to a spectacular fireworks display! Some low cloud and rain certainly didn’t harm, just made it all appear more atmospheric.

All the best for your future together Elisha & Ben, what a great wedding!
