A peek at the weddings we have been shooting in September – from a serene woodland wedding to a glamorous country retreat. Also, Lina escaped to Italy for some family time, and we captured a very special one year old’s birthday!
Charlotte & Neil’s Vibrant Winter Dodmoor House Wedding
Many people wouldn’t consider a January wedding, assuming it will be bleak, but our January winter days can result in gorgeous low sunshine or even snow – so that combined with generally lower fees all round and it’s a great idea. Everyone feels a bit low in January, but everyone loves a wedding to look forward to! This was also our first wedding as a married couple ourselves, so it was a little bit special too.
We were so happy to hear from Charlotte and Neil, and Lina and Charlotte went to school together, so it was lovely to be asked to capture their special day. Having not yet captured a Dodmoor House wedding, we loved the the venue when we went and took a look for Charlotte and Neil’s pre wedding shoot. On the day the sun shone brightly, and there was a great feeling of excitement in both the boy’s and girl’s camp at the Daventry Court Hotel.
Charlotte and Neil went for a fantastically bright colour scheme reminiscent of tutti fruiti sweets – so thankfully there were some on hand! Here’s a selection from their gorgeously vibrant day with some fantastic details – including a Minion groom’s cake! We really enjoyed working with the team at Dodmoor House and hope to return another time, and we wish Charlotte and Neil nothing but a lifetime of love and laughter. Credits at the end…

Steph & Steve’s Golden Dodford Manor Wedding Taster!
We knew we would have a fun day with Steph and Steve on their wedding day at Dodford Manor, which would also be a first for us at this Northamptonshire Wedding Venue. They didn’t disappoint, and neither did the weather, with a stunningly golden sunset later we just had to capture in the evening…

Charlotte & Neil’s Dodmoor House Pre Wedding Shoot
We’re looking forward to our first Dodmoor House wedding tomorrow with lovely Charlotte and Neil, and enjoyed going to the venue for their pre wedding shoot last month. Their absolutely gorgeous dog Molly came with us and was a true natural! It was chilly but Charlotte and Neil’s excellently coordinated winterwear meant that we could have fun outside as well as in! We think they all looked great and we’re looking forward to tomorrow!

Raffaela and Dave – Kelmarsh Hall Pre Wedding Shoot
Raff and Dave were one of those couples we instantly clicked with at a wedding fair. As well as an Italian connection with Raff & Lina, these two are great fun and just want to have a relaxed and fun wedding. You can clearly see from these shots taken as a warm up to their Kelmarsh Hall wedding photography, they make each other laugh all the time which was lovely to see. Looking forward to the wedding on Saturday!
