Well…Woz and I have truly found our sea legs! When our happy couple June and Phil told us that they had booked the reception part of their wedding day before anything else, we wondered what they had in store and having experienced the wonderful cruise around Poole Harbour, we now totally understand why.
The sun shone for their intimate wedding ceremony, which was held in Poole’s Guildhall, a lovely light and airy room with fabulous glass chandeliers. Outside of the building a pair of winding iron staircases run to the room provided some great photo opportunities especially for group shots.
Following the ceremony, we moved on to The Bakers Arms in Lytchett Minster for the wedding breakfast, an attractive pub which served some delicious food and with some verdant willow trees in the garden forming a great backdrop for some pictures of our gorgeous newlyweds.
Once everyone was full and had had a few drinks, we were all off to the harbour to board the Solent Scene! The boat sailed us along the stunning Dorset Jurassic coast past Brownsea Island, Swanage and the famous ‘Old Harry Rocks’. June and Phil stood on deck and pointed out local landmarks of their home turf which we really enjoyed.
With totally calm seas, the bluest of skies and absolutely beautiful light it proved to be a perfect evening.
