eMMA & CALLUMS HARBOUR HEIGHTS WEDDING

 

In May we had the pleasure of photographing Emma and Cullum’s wedding day and after a few venue changes we ended up at The Harbour Heights Hotel in Sandbanks.

We met Emma in the bridal suite of the hotel where we photographed the wedding morning. Emma was completely chilled out with no pre-wedding nerves at all. We spent a while photographing the hair and makeup then headed downstairs to meet Callum.

Again Callum was so relaxed you wouldn’t have thought it was his big day at all.

We took the guys to the balcony of the hotel where you have stunning views of Brownsea Island and it's surrounding areas. Here we took a few informal shots then it was nearly time for the ceremony.

As Callum waited for Emma he was still showing zero nerves but his eyes did well up when he saw Emma looking stunning in her wedding dress.

The ceremony was outside on the balcony which makes for a stunning backdrop and as the newlyweds walked down the isle a torrent of bubbles were unleashed by eager wedding guests which made us smile.

The speeches were heart felt and Cullum’s best man did a great job.

Just before the first dance, the bride and grooms family members read out an emotional poem to the happy couple. The dancing followed and everyone had a fab night.
