Lei & Simon's Dumbleton Hall Wedding Day

It was a beautiful day yesterday when I photographed Lei and Simon's wedding at Dumbleton Hall. The house is set in the Cotswolds, not far from Broadway, and is a glorious venue for a wedding:



As Lei got ready, I captured the detail shots, including this lovely image of her wedding shoes:



... and this close-up of her bouquet's stem:



Lei had chosen two dresses for the day, one in traditional western white which can be seen in this next image, the other a traditional Chinese design which complemented Simon's waistcoat:



More can be seen of Simon's waistcoat in an image below. This one shows our groom looking pretty relaxed just minutes before the ceremony:



Here, Lei shares a hug with her father before they make their big entrance:



Simon looks on in admiration as his bride enters:



Lei and Simon are parents of little Kim - we had great fun trying to coax a smile from Kim. Eventually, we managed a few, though this image features a rather more pensive look:



Here are Simon's friends getting into Reservoir Dogs mode:



And this is the shot that really shows off the evening outfits to best effect:



This is one of my favourites from the day:



And so is this one, showing Lei and Simon heading off hand-in-hand for a future of happiness together:



It was a very fine wedding and I wish Simon and Lei a long and fulfilling future as husband and wife,
