A beautiful Autumn day found me heading to the amazing Warwickshire wedding venue to be a Wethele Manor wedding photographer for Alexa and Ben.
This was a first visit for me & Wethele Manor is a charming venue, with a characterful farmhouse surrounded by lovely grounds, beautiful scenery, pigs, llamas & goats!!
With lovely weather setting up a great relaxed day & a beer festival theme the day was certainly set fair!!
Alexa & the girl’s were in the farmhouse & it was certainly a lively, buzzing prep as everybody milled between the different rooms for hair & makeup.
I have to confess though the sound of a V8 had me heading for the drive as Ben arrived in his lovely TVR.
The final stages of prep were enhanced by Alexa’s dads first glimpse before we headed into the sun for a charming outdoor ceremony, conducted in great style by the Warwickshire registrars.
With very generous timings a relaxed afternoon was in store & we enjoyed the drinks reception before heading into the grounds for family photos & then a quick tour of the estate with Alexa & Ben.
The marquee was a great location for speeches & the wedding breakfast rounded off with a table full of homemade puds!
The sun was still shining & with Alexa loving our four legged friends we headed off to see the livestock, although it has to be admitted that the goats were Alexa’s favourites but the pigs were a lot more sociable, giving me a brand new wedding day photo opportunity 🙂
Evening celebration time was rapidly approaching & so we headed in for Alexa & Ben’s first dance but not before another first for me, a bouquet toss outdoors in the pitch black!
