Alison and Richard's Wedding at Brusiyard Hall, Suffolk

Just before we moved I photographed Alison and Richard's gorgeous, intimate wedding which took place at Bruisyard Hall, Suffolk. It was just me at this wedding as they were such small numbers but what a wonderful time I had sharing and photographing their celebrations. Bruisyard Hall is a lovely venue for smaller wedding parties - it feels like a home which makes it so special, the grounds are also beautiful. The weather was sunny and warm which was ideal as they had planned for an afternoon tea in the gardens. Here's some of the photos from their day starting with Alison getting ready and walking round to the ceremony with her daughter Zara

This detail was of her dad's ring tied into her bouquet as he had sadly passed away

Here's one of Richard followed by a few of them during the ceremony - I love the one of Morgan (their son) giving them the rings

Followed by a selection taken at the reception before their tea

Alison and Richard own a business that sells speakers and as a surprise Alison had got one of her very talented friends to make a superb wedding cake.  I also love the one of Zara looking at the cake - I can remember fondly from my own childhood the frustrations of waiting for a cake to be served!!! Here's also a few of their very lovely vintage afternoon tea

After I left they were going to have a very relaxed meal - Alison had decorated all the table beautifully (as you can see) and the favours were really sweet - butterfly photo holders for the girls and a beeswax candle for the boys

If you attended Alison and Richard's Wedding and would like to view their photos they are now online and they have the password which I'm sure they'll share with you.

Alison kindly e-mailed me the following message today:

'Sorry for the delay in making contact with you Hayley. We have received the proof book and are thrilled with the photos. Very relaxed style of photography and so many of our friends have commented on how nice it is to have some less formal photos from a photographer. We loved having you with us on the day and everyone said how unobtrusive, helpful and smiley you were! Thank you very much.
Alison'

I look forward to hearing you both soon regarding your selection and hope that the school fete you were preparing for today Alison went well. What a wonderful group of people you all were to work with - thank you for letting me share in your day. Zara and Morgan are gorgeous children who are a credit to you both. I wish you lots of love and happiness in the future and hope that you'll have a long and happy marriage.
