I first met Simon and Jen in Shaftesbury by gold hill (i’d parked at the bottom). This is the same Gold Hill of Hovis advert fame
This was back in 2010. I was booked as their wedding photographer and we did an eshoot in the New Forest complete with rain and pigs
Fast forward to 2012 and their Wedding Day was lovely – a bit winder but it stayed dry
I started off with Jen at home getting some make-up finished off.

Then I went onto the church in shaftesbury where I took some photographs of Simon on golds hill with his best men and ushers.

Then the lovely bridesmaids arrived at the church.

Mow the lovely bride – Jen – arrived at the church in a lovely shiny vintage car – I love window shots in the car.

I’m sure she won’t thank me – but – this bridesmaid had such an expressive laugh it has to make the blog.

The best men didn’t do a bad job either.
