Hazel & Luke — Clanard Court

A wedding at Clanard Court.

Hazel and Luke’s photographs bring together soft yellow flowers, deep teal dresses and bright flashes of orange and pink among the guests. A church ceremony gave way to the gardens at Clanard Court, playful portraits and a reception that soon had everyone joining in.

Flowers and finishing touches

Pale yellow roses and teal dresses gave the preparations their colour. Young guests joined in as Hazel finished getting ready, before an embrace and the journey to the ceremony.

A toast before leaving

Luke’s preparations moved outdoors for a walk, a toast and some photographs with the group. A ring box and matching flasks sit beside more playful moments in the garden.

The church ceremony

A vintage bus and car brought the wedding party to the church. Inside, readings and close reactions led into the vows and signing, before Hazel and Luke walked back down the aisle together.
