Sarah and Wil’s wedding day at Statham Lodge
Pre-wedding shoot and pre-meeting
Having met Sarah and Wil at their pre-wedding shoot and pre-meeting, I knew we were going to capture fun, happy, emotional images from start to finish. Their wedding had been moved due to Covid restrictions — the day finally arrived and what a day it was.
Bridal prep — all-day giggling laughs
All-day giggling laughs from Sarah and her bridesmaids — these ladies were best mates. The dress was amazing and a fun, happy atmosphere was just great to see. Sarah and the bridesmaids were really looking forward to their big day.
Wil’s camper van arrival
Wil turned up to Statham Lodge in a camper van with his groomsmen — even more laughing and joking. The kind of arrival that sets the tone for a properly fun wedding day.
Emotional ceremony — and Wil hides his tears
The ceremony was emotional but also funny — Wil made a poor but funny attempt to hide his tears with part of his jacket. Never seen that before.
Statham Lodge gardens — rain didn’t stop us
Sarah and Wil’s wedding day did have rain, but we still got outside to take advantage of Statham Lodge’s amazing gardens for photos.
Speeches, dancing and three weddings in three days
After funny speeches it was time to dance the night away. This was my third wedding in three days with one more still to go — busy times but so happy to be back doing what I love.
Thank you Sarah and Wil — congratulations to you both, on a fun, happy and amazing wedding day at Statham Lodge.
