ABBOTS COURT BLANDFORD

Jess & Jon

As a relaxed wedding photographer, I have the privilege of capturing love stories in some of the most stunning locations. Jess and Jon’s wedding at Abbots Court was one such unforgettable day, blessed with beautiful weather and filled with magical moments. From the Victorian barn ceremony to the soulful sounds of a saxophonist at their drinks reception, their wedding was a delightful celebration of love and joy.

The Setting: Abbots Court

Nestled in the heart of the Dorset countryside, Abbots Court provided a breathtaking backdrop for Jess and Jon’s special day. This charming venue, with its picturesque gardens and historic architecture, offered the perfect blend of rustic elegance and timeless beauty. As I arrived at the venue, I was greeted by the sight of lush greenery and the serene ambiance that only a countryside wedding can offer.

The Ceremony: Victorian Barn Bliss

Jess and Jon chose the Victorian barn at Abbots Court for their ceremony, and it was nothing short of spectacular. The barn, with its exposed beams and vintage charm, created a warm and inviting atmosphere. As guests took their seats, the sun streamed through the windows, casting a soft, golden glow over the room.

Jess looked radiant as she walked down the aisle in her elegant lace gown, her face glowing with happiness. Jon, looking dapper in his tailored suit, couldn’t take his eyes off her. The ceremony was heartfelt and intimate, filled with touching vows and joyful tears. As they exchanged rings and sealed their vows with a kiss, the room erupted in applause, and it was clear that everyone felt the love and connection between this wonderful couple.

The Drinks Reception: A Saxophonist Serenade

Following the ceremony, guests were treated to a delightful drinks reception in the gardens of Abbots Court. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect – clear blue skies and a gentle breeze set the scene for an unforgettable afternoon. As guests mingled and enjoyed the beautiful surroundings, they were serenaded by an amazing saxophonist.

The soulful melodies of the saxophone added an extra layer of magic to the day. It was the perfect soundtrack for sipping champagne and celebrating Jess and Jon’s union. The atmosphere was relaxed and joyful, with laughter and conversation filling the air. As a photographer, capturing these candid moments of joy and connection is what I love most. The smiles, the laughter, the spontaneous dance moves – it was a celebration in its purest form.

Capturing the Moments

One of the highlights of the day was taking Jess and Jon aside for their couple’s portraits. With the stunning grounds of Abbots Court as our backdrop, we captured some truly beautiful and intimate moments. The golden hour light was perfect, casting a warm, romantic glow over the couple. Jess and Jon were naturals in front of the camera, their love for each other shining through in every shot.

Throughout the day, I also made sure to capture the details that made their wedding unique. From the elegant floral arrangements to the beautifully decorated tables, every element reflected Jess and Jon’s style and personality. These little details, combined with the candid moments and stunning portraits, told the complete story of their day.
