Jo and Mark's intimate wedding at Blackwell Grange

Weddings come in all shapes and sizes, some have hundreds of guests and some have just a few carefully chosen chosen friends and family. Jo and Mark decided on the latter and this created a really intimate, relaxed feel to the day Blackwell Grange was a fine setting, not too large so the wedding part were lost but still grand enough for it to feel special. In addition is was a really hot and sunny day so we were able to enjoy all this venue had to offer, inside and out.


Despite this being a small wedding with around 30 guests, no details were spared. As soon as I walked into the room when Jo was relaxing with her girls and clocked the white Louboutins, beautiful flowers and matching dressing gowns I knew that this was going to be a great wedding to photograph! The tables were dressed beautifully and the cake was WOWZA! The tower of mini chocolate cakes was a creation by www.burnett4cakes.co.uk who also made Jo and Steve's cake the week before. Chris Burnett was there is person to set up the cake and gave me a little sample of the chocolate swirls and can honestly say they were delicious! I kept getting a whiff of the cake everytime I passed and was over the moon when Jo presented me with one of the mini cakes during the speeches!

After the reception Paul Lytton arrived to wow guests with his incredible table magic. Brilliant! He even performed a trick on me using my phone and I am still baffled! This guy is super talented and I always get excited when I hear my clients have booked him.

All too quickly the day came to an end and as the evening party was about to start it was my time to leave (with a scrummy cake!). I was really excited to get to work on these images as Jo and Mark chose a Jorgensen matted which are extremely beautiful albums. I can't wait for it to arrive!

I've decided to show you their album design and I'll post pictures of their album when it arrives.
