Jenny & Gerard’s Wedding in Hampshire

Jenny and Gerard’s day felt settled from the start. No stress, no overthinking — just a couple who were clear about what mattered, and a setting that supported it. From a quiet morning with family to games on the lawn at Holywell, every part of the day had space to breathe.

A Slow Morning at Mum’s

Jenny got ready at her mum’s house, just a short drive from the venue. It was quiet and familiar — the kind of space where no one’s trying too hard. Tea was made, dresses were steamed, and everything moved gently toward what was next.

A Ceremony at St Peter’s, Soberton

They were married at St Peter’s Church — a tucked-away spot that felt rooted and personal. The ceremony was full of all the usual things: some nerves, some laughter, a few deep breaths, and that quick rush of something real just after the vows were said.

Live Music, Dancing, and One Hell of a Party

As the sun dropped and the lights came up, the mood shifted. A live band kicked things off, and the energy lifted instantly. The kind of party that fills the room without trying too hard — just music, dancing, and a floor that stayed packed all night.
