Sarah and Dan's Wedding at Eastwood Park on 8 October 2011

Just received some lovely photos and a 'thank you' from Sarah and Dan this morning who were married at Eastwood Park in Falfield last October.

Thank you so much for your kind words!

Their email read as follows:-

It has been a while since our wedding back on October 8th at Eastwood Park.  I have just got round to sorting out my photos and thought I would send you a couple showing your car - taken by Chris Williams (Mango).  I wanted to write to thank you for helping the day itself run so smoothly - you were really kind and your help sorting out my dress and hair at critical moments was invaluable!!  Your car was lovely too!

 

So a BIG thank you.  Hope you like the photos.

 

Sarah and Dan

Wedding - Saturday, 28 January - Sam and Adam

Lovely couple Sam and Adam were married at the pretty village church of Farleigh Hungerford this afternoon and what a beautiful sunny day we had, albeit extremely cold!

Managed to take a couple of my own photos at the church as a little appetizer for you all as we are waiting for some lovely photos taken by Ann-Marie earlier and they look worth waiting for!!




After the ceremony we travelled onto the popular Wick Farm in Farleigh Hungerford where we had some really beautiful photographs taken outside the venue.

Congratulations to Sam and Adam you made the perfect couple!

New Years Eve Weddings 2011

The closure of our diary for 2011 has finally arrived and what a busy year it has been for us, beats all records so far!!

Arrival at Berkeley Power Station

The Beauford Lady 

Thornbury Church by Three Acorns Photography

Just wanted to say big congratulations to our New Years Eve bride and grooms today, Mr & Mrs Spill and Mr & Mrs Catley who were married at 12.30 today.

Mr & Mrs Spill had re-arranged their wedding date three times and also celebrated their ten year anniversary of being together today, wow!  The bride looked absolutely amazing with her daughter looking the beautiful little princess and young son a handsome prince!!  Husband looked good too by the way!

Bride's mum arranged for the flags to be used for the car decorations together with 'bride' and 'groom' umbrellas too!  Please see a couple of our own photographs taken on the day too.

I believe the couple will be spending their honeymoon night at a surprise local hotel...sshh!!

A snapshot just after ceremony at Thornbury Church

Lovely working with husband and wife team from Three Acorns Photography at http://www.three-acorns.co.uk who supplied the three photographs at the top of the page.




Mr & Mrs Catley were also looking wonderful with a black and white theme to their wedding, with the bride in white satin and roses along top of bodice and two adult bridesmaids in black and two little flower girls in white.

Karen, who was their chauffeuse, reliably informs me that her happy couple will be spending a couple of days in London for their honeymoon and then jetting off to somewhere hotter later in the year!

They were accompanied by the lovely Dawn Wilkins Photography at http://www.dawnwilkinsphotography.co.uk.

May we all at Englands Finest Wedding Cars wish all our lovely couples who have used our services during 2011 a very Happy New Year!!!

Friday, 30 December 2011 - Kate and Tom's Wedding

Collected Kate and her father from The Stables, accommodation located away from the main Grittleton House School yet within the grounds and equipped to sleep eighteen people no less!

We travelled today to St. Mary's church at Bathwick Hill and was delighted to meet the vicar of the parish for the first time today, a charming and jolly gentlemen who had obviously got to know our couple well over the past six months.

The lovely Robert Skidmore Photography was with us today and both Kate and Tom had nothing but praise and admiration for him, making them feel relaxed throughout the day, and Robert has promised to forward some of his amazing photos shortly for me to pass on to all of you reading my blog.  You can visit Robert at http://www.robertskidmore.co.uk. 

We travelled via Batheaston to and from the wedding to avoid traffic on the London Road in Bath, and it was nice to be granted free passage over the toll bridge on both occasions today, many thanks!!

As Kate and Tom enjoyed romantic walks through Castle Combe we drove through the village en route to Grittleton House, where Robert managed to take some photographs with the car before we departed.

Car heater on full today with blanket throw, fur wrap and hand muff also in use as such a wet and cold blustery day today, thank goodness for our ivory golf umrellas too!!

Congratulations to Kate and Tom, enjoy your couple of days away before starting back at school as teachers, and have a great time on honeymoon in the summer!!

Joanna and Robert's Wedding - Wednesday, 28 December 2011

Castle Combe Manor House

Based in Dubai, it was a pleasure to be involved in Joanna and Robert's wedding on Wednesday at The Manor House in Castle Combe. 

Accompanied by David McGirr Photography based in Warminster, the couple enjoyed some great photos with the car outside the venue after their ceremony.

Arriving for pre-wedding shots too, both the groom and bestmen and also the bride and bridesmaids savoured the rather chilly weather for some shots with the car before the event, very impressed!!

As daylight was against us, we managed to include a local tour for the couple to enjoy some quality time together and to also sample and savour their half bottle of Bollinger champagne in the car too!!

How magical the Manor House looked as we came across the bridge towards the house with their christmas lights and the glow of  the rooms!

We look forward to seeing some photos from David McGirr shortly, lovely to see you again!  David can be found at  http://www.davidmcgirr.com.

Just wanted to say a HUGE thank you once again to Joanna and Robert for the lovely presents you gave me as I left you, what a lovely surprise!!

Congratulations both!

Laura and Callum's Wedding on Friday, 23 December 2011

There is something very special about a castle set in beautiful grounds with a sweeping driveway...and Clearwell Castle never disappoints!  We were privileged to attend the wedding of Laura and Callum with their lovely families last Friday with their ceremony at All Saints Church in nearby Newland. 

So pleased we now have two ivory golf umbrellas onboard each car as we definetely needed them today!

Surprise, surprise!!

We received a call from Martin last week who wanted to surprise his lovely sister, Shelley and fiance Paul with something they would never forget!!  So, just as the happy couple came out of their ceremony at Tracy Park last Friday, 23 December as Mr & Mrs Allen there was an ivory wedding car waiting for them.

Although the weather was wet, they still managed to have some photographs taken with the car and then enjoyed a local tour together in the wedding car for them to catch up on all the events that morning! 

Well done Martin and congratulations to Shelley and Paul.

Liz & Huw's Wedding - Friday, 9 December 2011

What a lovely couple - Liz and Huw were recently married at St. John the Baptist Church in Churchill and this photograph was taken as we left the church surrounded by their guests armed with confetti!! 

Leaving church with a matching pair of cars and lots of confetti!

Received some fantastic photographs this afternoon from John and wife team at The Owl and the Pussycat Wedding Photography  www.theowlandthepussycatweddingphotography.com taken at Louise and Ian's wedding back in the summer.

Julie and James's Wedding - Leigh Court - 21 August 2011

I have received some wonderful photographs from Bob this week from Regent Wedding Photography at http://www.regentweddingphotography.co.uk and just had to share them with you all!!

We were together at Julie and James's wedding at Leigh Court, Abbots Leigh on Sunday, 21 August 2011, and what a lovely couple.

We all enjoyed a leisurely journey from the couples home in Longwell Green to the prestiguous Leigh Court, a venue I am very familiar with as I was also married there.

Photos were enjoyed outside this beautiful venue with their wedding car. 

Before setting off for the Clifton Suspension Bridge, we popped open a half bottle of Bollinger champagne for the couple to enjoy together. 

As you can see another sunny day with lots of spectators at the bridge with the couple creating quite a stir!!

Lovely to work with Bob for the first time at this wedding.  You can find Bob at http://www.regentweddingphotography.co.uk  

Having spent many years providing wedding photography Bob has had a couple of years out of the business to spend some time with his family.  He is now back and enjoying every minute of it and I must say he was a great guy to work with, very professional and he has produced some amazing photographs as you can see!!

A big thank you to Bob and I hope to work with you again sometime soon! 

Congratulations to Julie and James.
