Elizabeth & Howard’s Summer Hampton Court House wedding

It was a beautiful, hot and sunny day for Elizabeth & Howard’s Summer Hampton Court House wedding. A fabulous day with lots of laughter, plenty of dancing, some sparklers and one very happy couple.

The ceremony at Hampton Court House

The ceremony took place in the Grand Hall at Hampton Court House. The ceremony began with the bride and her dad walking down the aisle to be met by a nervous-looking groom, and finished with the newly married couple walking out into the sunshine to be showered with confetti. It was a wonderful ceremony, full of excited hand squeezes and so much love.

The reception on the lawn

After the ceremony, the couple mingled with their guests, which was the perfect time for me to get candid photos. The reception was held on the lawn outside the main entrance. It was such a hot day that everyone stood in the shade, enjoying the drinks and trying to keep cool.

Towards the end of the drinks reception Elizabeth, Howard and I took a wander around the beautiful gardens to do some portrait photos. It was so lovely. They are a fab couple and a real pleasure to spend time with. I got some beautiful photos of the two of them as well as some very fun ones when the couple practised their first dance.

As we returned to their guests every one was being called in for dinner, which was held in the Victorian Picture Gallery. They had speeches after the dinner, which were a wonderful mix of funny, embarrassing and emotional. I was very happy to see Elizabeth get up to do the last speech. More and more brides are saying a few words and its great!

The evening party

After the meal, it was time for the dancing. The couple led the way with a brilliant first dance. It was well worth the practice earlier in the day! They were joined on the dancefloor by their guests and the DJ kept the party going.

Before the evening ended there was time for sparklers, which was so much fun.

I enjoyed every minute of Elizabeth and Howards Summer Hampton Court House wedding. A beautiful day for two of the loveliest people.

I’m happy to share a slideshow of this wonderful wedding day. Enjoy!
