Lyme Regis Wedding Photography - Polly and Tom

What a summer we're having (finally!) For those that follow the blog you may have seen the sneak peak of this wedding a few weeks back! So here I am back to blog the rest of it now the bride and groom have seen their wedding photographs.

Wow! it really was scorchio this day! and what an awesome sunset we had for the bride and groom portraits! Thanks to howard lucas for ferrying us to the seafront too!

Tom and Polly were getting ready in the same hotel on different floors so this gave me the rare opportunity to capture both sets of preparations which was super cool - it really helps tell the story from the wedding day.

So the day started with a bottle of champagne on ice...

and of course what wedding can be without a fabulous rock from Tiffany and Co.?

Then it was time for some touching up of the Pollys bridal makeup..

and the bridesmaids all insisted on having their photograph taken (you know how it is! :) )

Then it was time to quickly nip downstairs (or was it upstairs?) to Toms room and catch him shaving (I love shaving shots!)

we then headed off to the church and I casually posed the boys like pins in a bowling alley.....

luckily that was just in time when the gorgeous Polly bowled into the church with her father - looking AMAZING in her wedding dress!

before you knew it the ceremony was over and it was time for the reception in the nearby (next door!) church wardens gardens - Tom here is saying - "it was THIIIIS big". Then after some posed groups we went onto the reception venue (alexandra hotel).

Polly was loving the weather and wasn't too shy for the camera either as you can see here.

some time passed. some people ate... and it was time for the speeches... which although i can't reveal too much were highly amusing....

the best man did a bang up job - firstly with some amusing quotes from the bride Polly (*may not be true and used for comedy purposes only....)

and then presenting Tom with an apparently unwanted norwich shirt... so i'm not sure which was worse there?! :)

Then after dinner and speeches it was off to the seafront - which we were blessed with SUPER AWESOME WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY LIGHT(TM)

then i noticed the AWESOME sunset and the colours (or colors if you're american :)) so i posed Tom and Polly and took the next image....

now it was time to let our hair down and let the evening dancing start...
here Tom and Polly tore up the dance floor.

and again they showed they could really bust a move on the dance floor.

What a thoroughly entertaining day it was - fully of emotion and amazing moments. Made all the more special by the people on the day!

I wish you all the best for the future guys! and don't forget I also do maternity and baby photography :)
