Wedding! Matt and Yvonne in Beaulieu, Hampshire

November 30th, 2009

Final­ly, the lap­top is back and I can get on with my life (actu­al­ly, I had more of a “life” with­out my lap­top, lets just call this reality!)
I’m so sor­ry for all the guests who have been patient­ly wait­ing for these pictures.

You’ll remem­ber Matt and Yvonnes pic­tures from a few weeks back, that was a pret­ty long jour­ney for us. We drove down one more time for their wed­ding a few week­ends back.
The weath­er was pret­ty ques­tion­able to say the least. We had gale force winds, thun­der and light­ning and hors­es strewn across the road!

But i’m doing my best not to be a walk­ing cliché here when I say “the bad weath­er was no match for the smiles on every­bodys faces!” (sor­ry)

I met up with Yvonne in the morn­ing whilst she was hav­ing her make up done by Melis­sa, I then met up with the rest of the guests at the Beau­fort Arms.
Good­ness me! It was like the annu­al “past, present and future bride, groom and guest at a josephyarrow.com wed­ding” there!

It was weird to know or recog­nise so many peo­ple just from my wed­dings that I’ve shot. It made me feel so proud inside! (thanks D&C)
The pub was gor­geous inside with allot of low autumn sun peek­ing through the storm clouds com­ing through the win­dows. Loads of noise, excite­ment and gen­er­al mer­ry­ment! Love­ly stuff!

The guests (not I) walked to Beaulieu Abbey, an incred­i­ble build­ing that once act­ed as a din­ing room for the monks there. It was a lit­tle bit like your din­ing room at home, but a bit bigger.
It was a very relaxed and per­son­al cer­e­mo­ny with friends giv­ing read­ings, singing and per­form­ing songs for Matt and Yvonne.
The guests moved over to the Abbey Domus where the par­ty started.

Enjoy the pictures!



I love me a real chuckle!

And here’s the man of the hour, look­ing slight­ly windswept, but ever-so-awesome.

L>R Best man, as well past guest on www.josephyarrow.com and future groom; Chris.
Groom; Matt.
Best man; Chester. What a great name and a love­ly guy!

It was great to see Craig again


I real­ly love this series of four pic­tures here, espe­cial­ly the first one of the car.
It’s my job here to tell a sto­ry, and I think that I’ve done what I need­ed to do.

Eager­ness:

Freedom:

Suspense:

And excitement:


Play­ing it cool! Smooth

Ah, not so smooth now!







This Gen­tle­man’s voice was so soft yet pow­er­ful and filled the whole Abbey.





Remem­ber Victoria?
The weath­er was all over the place!

There was a gap in the weath­er long enough for a few shots in the beau­ti­ful grounds.


Great look­ing cou­ple aren’t they? Even when they are bat­tling with the wind!




Just in case!





An incred­i­ble room, most­ly lit by candles.
At one point, the open log fire at the back of the room start­ed real­ly smok­ing and the vis­i­bil­i­ty was actu­al­ly pret­ty terrible!
Smoke poi­son­ing put nobody off though and the par­ty car­ried on like noth­ing happened!


Such a cool wed­ding cake! I love all the details on it!





I love tak­ing pic­tures of peo­ple using their cam­eras. I don’t know why, per­haps it’s because I enjoy look­ing at how oth­er peo­ple cap­ture their own mem­o­ries. (and the pos­es they get into!)






Our Deb!






Yvon­ne’s Moth­er is Pol­ish and also gave a speech. At the end, she said that it would­n’t be a real wed­ding with­out this drink. Then almost the whole room broke out into this Pol­ish song whilst knock­ing this back, which just topped it all off! I loved it!

I think Yvonne looks amaz­ing here!

The Abbey by night

And a very cool chore­o­graphed first dance! Loved it!


The live music was pro­vid­ed by one of the best bands I’ve worked along with.
They’re called Grouper and played loads of Pop-Rock stuff, from Razorlight to Snow Patrol










And that’s about it!
What a wed­ding, I real­ly enjoyed this one!
It was very tir­ing, but look­ing back at these images, I’m thrilled with what I did!

Matt and Yvonne, thank you so much for ask­ing me to be your pho­tog­ra­ph­er, I felt so hon­ored to be includ­ed and treat­ed so well by your­selves and your amaz­ing guests!
