Honiley Court Hotel wedding of Liam and Christina

posted by: Karrie on 28 May 2011

Another new venue for us and it was all good!

That's real wedding day love!

It was a three man team today - Jon as photographer with Chris and I videoing. Always relaxing working with Jon and Chris cos we all know each other so well so it’s just ... easy!

We began by filming and photographing both bride and groom preparations before the ceremony. Couples always find it easier to relax later if they’ve had bridal preps recorded first ... just a little tip if you’re not married yet LOL! It was certainly a relaxed start to the day with both Liam and Tina having stayed overnight at the hotel.

It was my first time at Honiley Court Hotel and we were impressed by how good it is to work there with spacious rooms, helpful staff and good food being definite plus factors!

After a lovely ceremony with heartfelt vows from Liam and Tina and lovely readings by Nafeesa Zulfiqar and Andrew Perry, it was outside in the secluded garden for a photo call. Great overhead from the fire escape and lovely intimate romantic film and photos in the gazebo and bench area. Our thanks to the very helpful (and smartly turned out) Best Man Glen Tarplee and Groomsmen Graham Smith with Kieran and Luke Tarplee.

Tina also had super attendants in Maid of Honour and sister Rachel Smith with Becky Cambray, Gemma Cunningham, Jayne Bralee and Kathryn Butler who looked both chic and were also delightful ladies.

The wedding breakfast was then enjoyed by all with a short break before the pudding for speeches by proud Father of the Bride Brian Smith, the Groom and Best Man.

The evening celebrations got under way and before long it was the First Dance and we left everyone having fun with DJ Shaun Jones getting everyone on the floor for a good night ahead.

Congratulations from us all at Electra Films to the new married couple Mr and Mrs Tarplee.
