Denbies Wine Estate Wedding in Surrey – Laura & Leigh

I met Laura and Leigh on my first wedding shoot in Greece! They are such a beautiful couple – and great fun – I knew when they asked me to shoot their wedding that it would be a great day – and it was!

Morning preparations began at Laura’s parent’s house, fuelled by toast and bubbly! The sun was shining and the atmosphere was relaxed and fun. Laura had her closest friends with her and everyone had made a special contribution to the day. One bridesmaid had created hundreds of delicious, colour co-ordinated cupcakes and the second bridesmaid had arranged the bridal bouquets, which were absolutely stunning. Amazing that it was her first foray into bridal flowers! A best friend was on hair and another on make-up. I felt very honoured to be part of the day!

They were married at St Mary’s in Beddington – a gorgeous church with lots of character. It was pretty nippy, so we sought shelter behind the big wooden doors whilst we awaited the bride’s arrival. She was fashionably late, her groom getting a little hot under the collar! He need not worry, Laura arrived looking absolutely stunning – gliding down the aisle, her pretty bridesmaids and flower girls accompanying her ( a very proud father on her arm!).

Their reception was at Denbies Wine Estate in Dorking – with drinks served in the dramatic wine cellar. We were later whisked up to dinner, in the Estate’s conservatory. Some touching speeches and a fantastic group serenade were followed by first dances and much fun on the dance floor – which was packed immediately!

All in all an absolutely wonderful day – and I got to go home with a cupcake in my pocket! (which was amazeballs).

Enjoy the photographs!
