Jess & Ben married at the Bacchus Hotel, Sutton on Sea to be close to family. It was an emotional one. I have photographed Jess’s family events before and Jess’s family are the tightest knit family I know and were so welcoming to me. There were alot of happy tears and hugs and ALOT of laughter.

Jess got ready at her mum and dad’s house just round the corner from the hotel with her mum, sisters, neices and bridesmaids so there was a really fun atmosphere with a big girl gang.

Jess & Ben are clearly very loved as they had a huge amount of guests and got a massive cheer when they entered their reception, what a hoot! I have to mention the vegetarian and vegan buffet, which was a wonderful spread of veggie food and proves you don’t need to have a fancy three course meal for people to enjoy themselves. My idea of the perfect wedding meal.

The main suppliers were:

Venue - The Bacchus Hotel, Sutton on Sea

Dress - Copplestones Bridal, Liverpool

Hair stylist - Joanne Lee Barker & the girls from Serenity Hair & Beauty, Skegness

Bridesmaids dresses - Boohoo

Groom’s suit - Moss Bros, Liverpool

Music - Gabby Warren Smith, Emily Vanlint, Geoff Weeks

Band - Amber Kuti & friends

Cakes - Selection of M&S cakes and Veg Out, Lincoln provided the vegan cakes

Car - Ben’s dad’s converted Chevrolet

Here are a few of my favourite images from their day.

Rest in peace, Vanessa. XXX
