I joined Emily and the girls in the morning at Deer Park to capture their preparations, there was a lovely atmosphere in the air with lots of excitement and some nervousness too. Deer Park Country House has some awesome preparation spaces and they really have thought of everything. The girls took their time and enjoyed their morning keeping everything relaxed and enjoyable. After the preparations I left to meet Carl and the wedding guests at the church just ahead of Emily's arrival.
The church ceremony was beautiful and full of emotion, Emily & Carl left the church into glorious sunshine and a shower of confetti before heading back to Deer Park for their wedding reception. We had such good weather all day and it meant that everyone could enjoy drinks and canapés outside before we took some group shots in the sun too. As the guests headed into the wedding breakfast I took Emily & Carl for a few moments around the grounds to capture some couples portraits of the two of them.
The speeches were followed by the wedding breakfast with Emily's father, Carl and his bestmen giving great speeches and bringing quite a few laughs along the way too. It was then back out into the lovely evening weather whilst the room was turned around for their evening reception. I loved the evening light we had and Emily & Carl had even booked Dan Brazier the magician to entertain their guests during this time. Dan wowed many of the guests with his great close up magic and it just made my job so easy as there were so many fun reactions to capture.
The cutting of the cake signaled the start of the evening reception with the couple then taking straight to the dancefloor for their first dance. It was a beautiful moment with everyone swiftly joining them on the dance floor to party the night away. I had an awesome day documenting Emily & Carl's big day at Deer Park Country House, as always it was such an honour to be there to capture all that happened throughout the day.
