Jo & Dermot's Wedding Day, Stoke Place, 01 May 2009

What can I say about Jo and Dermot’s wedding? Great weather in a fabulous venue with lots and lots of lively Irish making for a very colourful day! Added to this the couple are massive Rock music fans with this as their theme for the day!!

Plenty of fun and laughter doing the preparation shots at their home in Burnham then onto Stoke Place. It’s a beautiful boutique hotel with extensive grounds. I have photographed a charity event here for the “ Make A Wish Foundation” so knew the venue well. The ceremony room caters well for a large groom. Dermot was looking dapper as this extended family arrived.

The great atmosphere continued through the ceremony (with a glass of Guinness or two) and afterwards for the reception taken outside on another sunny day. When the rain did finally come this was long after wedding breakfast and speeches. I had just finished some private shots of the new Mr & Mrs, so with great evening light we made use of the venue for these.
