Stacey and Paul got married at Alpheton Hall Barn, a venue I love, so I was really looking forward to this one.

The beloved family cat was guarding those shoes very carefully.

Purple was very much the colour of this wedding, wait till you see how the main barn was cloaked in colour!

The beautiful bride was escorted down to her dashing RAF husband.

And in no time at all they were married.

Signing the register was, of course, a simple affair. Not everyone knows, but you are not allowed to take photographs of the real register, so usually you either get given a dummy book, or they turn to the next page which is blank. Data protection!

Stacey beamed throughout the day and you can see here how happy she is.

Stacey arrived, in the rain, in this wonderful car hired from Aye Deneaux. We had to take a few moments to enjoy some shots with the couple and the car.

Shot through a small hole in a hedge to frame the foreground, with out lovely couple outside the church that shares the grounds with Alpheton Hall Barn.

I’ve said it many times, but if I see long (dryish) grass, I’m probably going to ask you to take a quick walk in it, or at least pose. 😉

Are you seeing the purple theme yet?

Paul was a great laugh, as were the happy couples guests.

I think the best man got the worst of the speeches on this occasion. Lots of laughter, lots of fun.

I think it’s fair to say, she was just warning him that now they are married, he’d better do as she says.

And if  proof was still needed that purple was the colour of the day, here it is!
