Happy New Year Everyone!

For my first post of 2018, I’d like to wind the clocks back to the beautiful Civil Ceremony & Reception of Tom & Sangita. It was held in the Great Barn at the Headstone Manor Museum.

The Great Barn, once owned by The Archbishop of Canterbury went through a huge restoration project turning this 16th century barn in a gorgeous venue.
Luckily for Tom & Sangita, they were the very first couple to be married in this history location & what a day it was!

The day started out wet and windy, as you would expect it to be in November, but by the time the Ceremony was due to start, the heavens opened and the low winter sun started to shine through.

The Bride’s family member Alesha provided a beautiful set on the Piano and for the entrance of Sangita. The rest of the Ceremony was beautiful which also included two readings from the Groom’s Mother & also the Best Man.

After the Civil Ceremony the Guests went for some Champagne before the Dinner & Reception. The speeches were absolutely hilarious and I could not stop laughing! The Cake was cut and then it was on to the first dance, set with the fairy lights & historic backdrop of the interior of the Barn.

I was honoured to have the opportunity to record the story of Tom & Sangita and at this very picturesque venue. This was just the beginning of the story as a couple of weeks later, their Hindu Wedding Ceremony followed – But I’ll save that for another blog post! 😉

SIDE NOTE: The Civil Ceremony of Tom & Sangita was also mentioned in the local Harrow Times Newspaper. The article can be found by clicking here

A big thank you to the Patel & Funnell families for being so warm & welcoming and a huge thanks to Arta for her help on the day!

I hope you enjoy the first part of Tom & Sangita’s Story below!

We’ve had rain, hailstones, storms and loads of sunshine! On top of it all, some beautiful and amazing couples have got married in the midst of it all! 😉

It’s been a while since my last blog post, but I hope you’ve all been keeping up to date with my work on my Facebook page (www.facebook.com/saileshmakwanaphotography) and my Instagram page (www.instagram.com/sailesh.makwana). – Don’t forget to follow if you’re not already!

I’ve got so many images to share, so I’m going to start off with this blog post of the beautiful Civil Ceremony of Dipesh & Minisha.

Their Ceremony was held back in August at the Brent Civic Centre. Luckily for us, the weather was great and both the bride & groom were glowing & ready albeit a little nervous (but they never told each other!)

The gorgeous couple were joined by their immediate families to witness their Civil Ceremony conducted beautifully by the Registrars. I think Dipesh was so eager, he even said “I DO” even before the Registrar could finish her sentence!

All in all, both Dipesh & Minisha are two lovely people who share a great banter together (and with me!) and I was lucky enough to witness their ceremony and capture some beautiful memories that they will share forever.

A big thank you to both families for making me feel welcome and a part of the family!

Here are some of my favourite images from their Civil Ceremony.
