Ardencote Manor Warwickshire, Kate & Chris

The Ardencote Manor a four star Hotel close to historic Stratford-upon-Avon in  beautiful Warwickshire countryside was the superb setting for the wedding of Kate & Chris,
Set in 83 acres of amazing gardens you couldn't have picked a better location to get married.

I Met Kate and the brides maids as they were busy getting ready with hair and make up.

The wedding ceremony itself was to take place outside on the Wedding  Island known as the the Ardencote Turret.

I met Chris and the grooms men as they greeted guests before ushering them over to the Wedding Island in preparation for the civil ceremony.

The build up for the ceremony is very impressive as you can see the bridal party in the distance crossing the bridge before making their way up the isle.
Kate made the slow walk across the bridge and up the red carpeted isle on her proud fathers arm where she exchanged her vows with Chris.
It was a bit touch and go with the weather threatening to ruin the proceedings, luckily it held out.

After the ceremony we went straight into the formal photos before everyone headed in doors for the wedding breakfast and speeches.

After the speeches we headed outside and managed to capture some amazing images before the weather took a turn for the worst.
Next it was the cutting of the cake and then the evening celebrations commenced as Kate and Chris took their first dance as husband and wife.

After Kate and Chris's first dance we were treated to a well choreographed routine dancing with her father.
In what started off as a slow dance ended up as energetic fast paced amazing father and daughter routine.

Anyway enough from me see what you think of the photos -leave a comment.
