I had the wonderful opportunity to capture Bronte & Christopher’s stunning wedding at the King Arms Hotel in Christchurch. Situated just outside the hotel, the rural backdrop of the castle ruins added a touch of magic to the celebrations. It truly was a beautiful setting for ceremonies both inside and outside.
I started the morning by meeting my beautiful Bride, Bronte. We decided to have a few photographs before the ceremony without being too invasive, to keep that relaxed and chilled vibe.
I then headed over to meet with the Groom, Chris, and to get ready for the ceremony. The room looked stunning with cream & pink floral arrangements and details. Once Bronte entered the aisle, awe was in the air – she looked breathtaking!
After the ceremony, the guests enjoyed canapes and drinks, whilst we took some group photographs and then went off for the couple pictures too within some of the ruins.
Throughout the day, I focused on capturing candid moments that reflected the genuine emotions of everyone involved. The joy, the tears, the laughter – all these elements contributed to stunning storytelling photographs.
Inside the hotel, the atmosphere was cozy and intimate, yet light and airy, making it an ideal setting for the wedding breakfast.
The King Arms Hotel provided a seamless blend of natural beauty and intrinsic charm, perfectly complementing the relaxed and timeless details of the wedding. All these elements allowed me to create images that truly conveyed the essence of the day, along with so many laughs, tears of joy & a fantastic dance floor!
I am so grateful to have been a part of such a wonderful celebration.
Massive congratulations to you both!
