Picture Box : Jodie and Chris at Hawkesyard Hall Estate and The Chase Golf Club. 23rd July 2016.

Jodie and Chris at Hawkesyard Hall Estate and, The ChaseGolf Club. 23^rd July 2016. Today’s wedding was a little bit different as normally its either ceremony and reception all at the same venue or the ceremony is at a church or Registry Office, but today the ceremony and wedding breakfast were at Hawkesyard Hall and then it was over to The Chase Golf Club for the evening .

Hawkesyard Hall was definitely a perfect setting for a wedding today with the sun shining down on the beautiful gardens and the hall the perfect back drop.

Chris and the lads turned up and looked smart in their suits from Kevin Paul in Hednesford and after a quick beer and some photos it was time for Chris to head into the Lister Suite and a wait Jodie. Jodie made her journey from the bridal suite on the special golf buggy at Hawkesyard and looked stunning in her dress from Your Wedding Dress Shop in Birmingham. As she walked down the aisle Chris did get a tear in his eye but held it together and the ceremony went without any hiccups.

I took Jodie and Chris off for a few photos in the gardens whilst the guests made the most of the weather and a great setting as they relaxed by the Orangery with a drink or few, thanks Amelia and Martyn for keeping me in refreshments I owe you.

I left the new Mr & Mrs Thurstance as they sat down for the wedding breakfast , but would see them a bit later at The Chase Golf Club for the first dance, oh and another quick ride in a golf buggy out to the swing for a couple of night shots.

Big thank you to Jodie and Chris’s guests for making me feel welcome and congratulations to the new Mr & Mrs Thurstance.
