Chris was filming this wedding and he really enjoyed working at the stunningly beautiful Ardencote Manor, Claverdon, helped of course by working with a beautiful (inside and out) bride - magic!

Photographer for the day was Ivor McCullagh of Purepix Photography and we owe a big thanks to Ivor not only for his professionalism and ability to work with us videoing but also for the superb image above which he sent along for the blog.  Many thanks and we hope to work with you again soon!

Bridal transport was provided by Banbury Wedding Cars with a beautiful blue and cream Royale Drophead for the bride) and Lux Limo (for the bridesmaids). the lovely flowers were by Hayley Heger with delicious and beautiful wedding cake provided by Jo Wiggins and bridesmaids’ gowns by Sharon Tuckey.

Lee was attended in style by his brother Shaun Byrne as Best Man with ushers Dean Houghton and Jonny Mobley and Dale Manley. Niall Byrne was page boy with Ellie Byrne as flower girl - both looking very cute indeed!

Samantha looked amazing as you can see in the photo and she was attended by chic bridesmaids were Louise Cross as chief bridesmaid with Hayley Hegger, Victoria Risato, Victoria and Mary Bullard and Samantha Cowley.

The lovely ceremony included readings by Chrisy Cross, Louise Cross and Ellie Byrne stealing the show somewhat! Witnesses were Katie and Paul Moggridge and musical accompaniment was provided by Soul Sisters.

After the photo shoot it was time for the sumptuous wedding breakfast enjoyed by all and speeches by Father of the Bride Neville Cross, Groom, Best Man and the Bride - well done Samantha, I would never have the nerve so always admire a bride who makes a speech!

Their First Dance track was Rod Stewart’s ‘Have I told you lately’ - nice choice guys - and the evening was soon in full swing under the auspices of DJ Steve Hill.
