Claudia and Fred married on a beautifully crisp autumn day in November, with the ceremony taking place at the exclusive Hampton Court Palace Chapel Royal followed by a reception at one of my favourite venues, Hampton Court House. The day was planned to perfection by the lovely team at Perfectly Planned 4 You.

The couple got ready at nearby hotels and both enjoyed incredibly relaxed mornings. Claudia had opted for a stunning two-piece dress by British designer Andrea Hawkes, made up of a simple silk slip dress with a dramatic organza top. Her flowers were made up of a vibrant autumnal palette, created by Fairy Nuff Flowers.

Following a traditional ceremony at the chapel (where photography is not permitted) guests walked the short distance to Hampton Court House for a relaxed drinks reception.

We were fortunate enough to be blessed with perfect dusky skies at the end of the day, so Claudia, Fred and I took a short stroll into Bushy Park for some portraits. And a bit of deer spotting…

During a candlelit dinner, guests were entertained by some wonderful speeches followed by an excellent party. One of those ones I didn’t want to leave…

Thank you Claudia and Fred for a spectacular day!
