[Wedding] Clare & Joe's Rustic Autumnal Wedding at Whitley Hall hotel

On Friday I had the pleasure of photographing Clare and Joe's big day at Whitley Hall Hotel.

I started with Clare in the Bridal Suite whilst make-up was underway and hair was being done in a bridesmaids room just down the hall.

The flowers arrived just as I was there, and had some absolutely beautiful autumnal colours within them.

When Joe and Oliver arrived at Whitley Hall I headed down to the room they were getting ready and took some photographs of Joe and is Best Man getting ready for the big day. It's not often I photograph Groom Prep (and it's very quick!)

After this, I headed back to the girls where the final preparations were underway and the little flower girls had arrived including Clare & Joe's daughter Chloe.

The older bridesmaids wore a beautiful pale pink two-piece outfit consisting of a skirt and lace top whilst the small flower girls wore green dresses to tie all the colours in together.

Clare's bridesmaids headed down the aisle first before Clare and her dad walked down the aisle to met Joe at the bottom for their ceremony to take place.

The ceremony was beautiful with Oliver making a great best man and looking after the rings!

After the ceremony, we all headed outside for welcome drinks and group photographs.

The weather was on our side although we were aware that Storm Brian was on its way. But come rain or shine, it wouldn't change the love at this Wedding. 

After the group shots were done, I focused on creating beautiful photographs of Clare and Joe together, the new Mr and Mrs Wake!

I'm sure you'll admit they make such a gorgeous couple!

I headed inside to take photographs of the details before everyone entered the room.

Speeches were held before the meal, with the Father of the Bride, Groom and Brides Sister and Best Man giving a joint speech too.

Everyone then partied the night away!

Thank you for allowing me to share your special day!
