  1. Beautiful Winter Weather for Frankie and Dean…

    Yesterday Focal Pix Photography had a lovely day photographing Frankie and Dean's wedding at Exbury.  The sunshine was absolutely beautiful; we are so lucky with the weather here in the New Forest!

    Frankie arrived to the ceremony in a VW camper mountain rescue van… The inside was prettily decked out, with cushions, fresh flower garlands and gingham flags.

    After the ceremony at St Katherine's church in Exbury, the couple celebrated in a marquee in their friends garden next door. This meant everyone could walk down the lane from the church to the reception, stopping on the way for a group shot, which we took from an upstairs window of a cottage in the village :o)

    Hursley High Class Butchers provided a hog roast, whilst James from Hampshire Bar and events kept people topped up - everyone then danced the night away to Freddie and the Freeloaders

    Photos to follow…
