Mollie + Joel's Summer Wedding - English Oak Vineyard, Lytchett Matravers - Poole

Well what a wonderful day we had with Mollie and Joel! Their wedding had been postponed many times due to COVID, but after much to-ing and fro-ing we finally managed to document their big day this Summer! The couple were originally due to marry in 2020 and really wanted to start a family, so they had a small ceremony with their immediate family when they could around COVID restrictions. However, still really wanted to celebrate with all their family and friends together, therefore arranged to re-take their vows this summer in 2022 and have a massive shin-dig at the English Oak Vineyard after. We photographed Joel’s brother’s wedding some years previous, so it was not only lovely to see the family again, but truly an honour to be invited back.

The day started with the girls getting ready at an Airbnb near Wimborne, the family stayed there the night previous due to not being local to the area. Whilst I photographed the girls, my second shooter Laura went off and photographed the boys in Joel’s Mum and Dad’s house in Christchurch.

The couple’s Uncle is a minister at Landsdowne Church in Bournemouth, and they are part of the wider church family. They made their vows in the new light-filled church, followed by a feast of a finger buffet before confetti outside of the church.

The wedding party then made their way to The English Oak Vineyard where they held their reception for the rest of the day, hosted by the lovely ladies at Bellissimo. We absolutely loved the venue, not only was it a beautiful setting, but Bellissimo do such an amazing job at making everything look and run perfectly.

We were thrilled to be part of Mollie and Joels’s special day, and honoured to document for such a lovely, laid back couple!
