Wow, what a night!

Last night we were kindly invited to photograph Wasing Park & Galloping gourmet's tasting evening.  Over 40 couples were invited to come and sample some of the tasty meal options and wonderful wines galloping gourmet have on offer for the bride & grooms forthcoming weddings at Wasing Park.

Guests were invited from 7pm to the newly refurbished Garden room at Wasing Park for a drinks reception and of course to sample the wide variety of canapés on offer! Guests were also shown cheese stacks 'The next big thing!'

As guests made their way over to the Castle Barn they jumped into our very own taxi photo booth and were presented with an instant print!

A choice of starters, mains, palette cleansers and desserts were then served whilst guests enjoyed their goody bags provided by Cherubs and the mini magazine showcasing some real-life weddings at Wasing Park that we produced for each couple to take away.

The atmosphere was lovely with guests able to chat to recommended suppliers and discuss their wine choices with Galloping gourmets wine specialists along with chatting to other couples about their big day!

Gemma & Dean's wedding photography at Wasing Park

Gemma & Dean made the most of the cold weather at the beautiful Wasing Park in Berkshire... with reindeers, holly, and candles! Gemma & her bridesmaids made the most of the bridal suite at Wasing complete with the notoriously monster sized bed (easily enough room for 8!). Hair was styled by Kate from Occasion Hair by Kate

Flowers & room decor were provided by the amazing team at Cherubs Floral Design. 

Dean & boys enjoyed some champagne at the bothy for the ultimate experience, bride and groom can get ready at Wasing Park at the same time but in completely different areas of the estate.

The slightly confused seasons created some stunning pre-bloom trees and lovely soft light. With guests having enjoyed their sumptuous 3 course meal, the cake was cut in the garden room.  Whilst guests got carried away with the party! Dean and the boys used this as an opportunity to light up some cigars and have the ultimate lads 'chillout time'!

Natalie & Matt's country wedding at Wasing Park

Natalie & Matt fell in love with Wasing park and chose the 'on site' church for their ceremony. The couple went for a neutral colour scheme with touches of red, used in the ribbon around the Bride's bouquet with subtle touches throughout the day.

Natalie looked stunning in her Angela Stone gown and Matt didn't look too bad either in his bespoke Marc Wallace suit. Natalie choose five friends as bridesmaids 3 of which were pregnant on the day! Bridesmaids wore full length pewter dresses and all carried a slightly different ivory bouquet.

After the ceremony the guests took a delightful stroll through the gorgeous grounds at Wasing park estate to make their way to the Garden Room where their drinks reception was held. Guests were entertained by a live musician and giant garden games whilst canapes were served.

The day focused on fun and Natalie & Matt even chose a tower of shots rather than the traditional wedding cake! Just when you guests thought they couldn't eat any more they were treated to an amazing hog roast outside on the terrace! (trust us it really is amazing - we have even sampled it ourselves!)
