Stunning Sunflower-Themed Wedding at Dower House Hotel – Charlotte & Kris

Let’s hear it for our newlyweds Charlotte & Kristoffer and congratulate them on the most epic wedding at Dower House Hotel!

What can I say about these two? They are so much fun to be around! I had an amazing time spending the day with them. Charlotte booked me way back in 2022 and I can’t believe how much the time has flown!

I started the day with Charlotte and her bridal party in the private building off to the side of the main venue, as private as it is, it’s super close to the ceremony area!

Charlotte looked an absolute vision in her gorgeous dress by Wed2b and was ready with enough time to spare to offer and enjoy a glass of bubbly with me! (It would have been rude not to!)

I went to Kris and the groom squad at their home, they were mostly ready when I got there but we managed to grab a few shots before the car arrived! The guys all looked fab in their Cavani suits!

Charlotte & Kris made use of the stunning outdoor wedding ceremony area at The Dower House Hotel! They married beneath a beautiful big willow tree. We had fantastic weather and as a bonus, it wasn’t too hot!

The family photos were as fun and laid back as a photographer could dream of! We got some lovely mantlepiece worthy portraits as well as some funny ones!

Everything was sunflower-themed and looked beautiful! Charlotte & Kris made their rockstar entrance into the reception hall and the master of ceremonies didn’t even finish her sentence before the cheering began!

Charlotte’s sister and maid of honour Pippa spoke first. I actually photographed Pippa’s wedding a few months ago so it was amazing to see them all again! Pippa gave an amazing speech that was funny and extremely sentimental, and one thing she said struck me and will stay with me forever.

“I hope you enjoy growing old with her as much as I enjoyed growing up with her”.

The best man spoke second followed by the man of the day, Kris.

Once we were all fed and watered, we took a casual walk around the grounds away from the buzz to give the newlyweds some time to focus on themselves and get their portraits done!

Their first dance was to “Forever After All” by Luke Comb.

“Kris chose it, made him well up while watching the music video haha!”
