Our very own Director at Pearl Pictures, Lucy, got married to Matthew Barbour on 5th September this year with an English country garden wedding in Wiltshire. “We wanted a wedding that was truly personal, so chose to have a marquee in the garden where I grew up” says Lucy. “The idea was to start with a very english, country feel at the church and move the day through to a chic and contemporary styled marquee to reflect our life in London, where we have lived for the last 10 years.”. With guests transported to the quaint country church by a red London routemaster bus, Lucy and Matthew opted for a horse and carriage. Once back at “The Chestnuts” the champagne flowed and guests mingled in the garden to music by the “Stickey Bass Jazz Trio”. Once in the marquee the guests sat at tables named after trees in the garden and dined on cannon of lamb with summer vegetables, followed by lemon and passionfruit tart. At 9.30pm, one of the Ushers, Nick, played with his band “The Black Hats” and the guests danced the night away until carriages at 1am. Photography by Graham Morgan & Jemma Watts.

When photographing a wedding, it is important to capture all the small details of the day. It is the details that complete the overall vision of the day’s event and can make such a difference. When Pearl Pictures photograph a wedding we always make sure we have gone around and photographed everything from important aspects such as the bouquet, table decorations, and wedding cake to smaller details such as the embroidery on the wedding dress, champagne bottles, the ladies’ hats and garden decorations. Once we even photographed the loo roll as it was printed with a wedding themed cartoon!
