Laura & Peter's dream day at St. Mary's, Harvington & Ardencote Manor

June 09, 2014 • 5 Comments

Laura & Peter's wedding day was a triumph of long-distance planning (on Laura's part - as Peter will freely admit), given that they live in London: The only thing she wasn't able to organise was the weather, but even this didn't hinder an altogether fabulous wedding. The day started with spectacular storms and torrential rain, but this subsided as Laura arrived with her dad in a two-tone burgundy Bentley and bridesmaids in matching Daimler from Barrie James Rolls Royce & Bentley Hire. Following a very personal ceremony in which talented musicians and friends contributed, we all moved onto Ardencote Manor and were fortunate enough to enjoy the gardens in full bloom as the sun shone and weather was kind enough to allow for outdoor group shots, etc. Although the thunder and rain returned, it was almost time for the band to entertain everyone in the huge and beautifully dressed (by the Flower House) conservatory and so all things considered, we couldn't have asked for better timing. I was honoured to be a part of such a fantastic day and fun group of people (it isn't very often I get shots of the bridesmaids holding the groom) - congratulations Mr & Mrs Smyth!

Photographs are such an important part of a wedding. they can be looked at in years to come. They are shown to children and grand children .These photos look amazing. Can't wait to see the album. Thank you so much.

The cars were great and Maxine is a gifted lady. She did the photographs for our wedding and we were delighted with them. This collection looks to be equally good based on the selection shown here.

Having worked with Maxine & Phil for more than 20 years in the wedding industry I must say apart from being highly professional they are very creative in both fields photography and video ..in fact I've used them three times now for all my daughters weddings
