In early October Naomi & Stephen tied the knot in The Church of St Peter, Offham and then went on to celebrate at Horsted Place Hotel, near Uckfield. It was a fantastic day and we loved photographing it for them. We started the day meeting Naomi at Horsted Place Hotel for bridal prep shots. Naomi was with her Bridesmaids and Mum getting ready in the lovely rooms and grounds of Horsted Place which is a Gothic style country house dating back to the 1850s.
Naomi wore a beautiful floor length ivory gown with little cap sleeves and appliqué embellishments over sheer fabric on the shoulders and sleeves and fitted and flared to the floor. Her Bridesmaids wore gorgeous floor length burgundy dresses which were sleeveless and had semi sheer shoulder straps. Naomi & Stephen had the cutest Page Boys too in shirts, shorts and braces! Not to be out done the Groom looked pretty sharp to in classic tailored jacket with a grey waistcoat and ivory Rose button hole. The Grooms outfit was finished off with a pair of very shiny shoes too! The Bridesmaids bouquets were beautiful ivory Roses with Autumnal berries and the Bride had a bouquet with ivory Roses and deep red calla lilies.
The ceremony was lovely at St Peters in Offham and we welcomed the Bride & Groom outside the church as Mr & Mrs with lots of confetti and a few close family group shots. We then hot footed it to Horsted Place to continue the celebrations. Naomi & Stephen had decorated the hotel beautifully with ivory floral decorations in the wedding breakfast room, a naked cake with minimalist white icing on it and lots of balloons in the evening over the dance floor.
The grounds of the hotel are stunning and we took the opportunity to take the Bride & Groom off for a few private shots before they sat for the wedding breakfast. Naomi & Stephen paid attention to lots of details at their wedding with a message a bottle instead of a traditional guest book and indoor games for the children.
We had a wonderful day with Naomi & Stephen's very friendly family and friends and thank the couple for being so great to work with and much happiness for the future.
