chris & sammi's sunny wedding day

We had the pleasure of photographing Sammi and Chris earlier in the year for their pre wedding shoot so it was great to catch up again and spend the day photographing their wedding.

Dave travelled over to Sammi’s in the morning to photograph the makeup, hair and general party atmosphere, while Seb headed over to the Groom's party to capture their morning.

We then both headed out to the beautiful St Marys Church, Lytchett Matravers https://www.smlm.co.uk/ where we met up with Bryony from bctvideos https://www.bctvideos.com/ to capture the wedding ceremony.

Later in the day, we took the happy couple off for some informal photos away from the reception where we ran around holding smoke grenades and generally had a lot of fun. While we both took the shots, Bryony caught all the action on film.
