Wedding Photography at Overton & Wokefield Park

Last Friday saw the wedding of Laura and Paul at St Mary’s church in Overton, followed by their reception at Wokefield Park, near Reading. It was a lovely summers day and the bride and groom were greeted with bright sunshine when they emerged from the church after their lunchtime wedding service.

After being showered with confetti and having a few photographs outside the church, the happy couple headed off to Wokefield Park to celebrate. It was very nice to see toastmaster Chris Poole waiting to greet the wedding party at the hotel. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Chris before and, as well as keeping things running to schedule, he provides great help to wedding photographers when it comes to organising the formal photographs.

Like many grooms, Paul got his speech out of the way before relaxing with his new wife to enjoy the wedding breakfast. We then took advantage of the lovely light provided by the late afternoon sun to shoot some photographs of Laura and Paul in grounds of the manor house, before the evening guests arrived. Photography of the day concluded with the cutting of the cake and first dance. Here are a few shots from the day.
