Janina and Jason’s St Audries Park Wedding, Somerset

Janina and Jason’s wedding day followed an unfortunate recent theme of rain, rain and more rain featured in the last few weddings on here, so prepare to expect a few more brollies in this blog entry!

The couple chose the wonderful Somerset hideaway venue of St Audries Park for their reception, with the moving ceremony taking place at the estates church, St Etheldredas.

Janina and Jason met while travelling and they had opted for a purple and turquoise tropical theme with lots of driftwood, cocktails, tables named after islands they travelled to, and Nina’s beautiful orchid bouquet. They had also added a lovely touch of a steel drum band for the drinks reception which made everyone feel summery and completely forget the state of the real weather outside.

Jason had a surprise for Nina who loves the video for ‘Paradise’ by Coldplay (which if you havent seen it features a man in an elephant suit who escapes from London zoo and heads to South Africa to join the rest of the band, who are also in elephant suits) an unbeknown to her he had got a replica elephant costume and appeared wearing it as the DJ played the song for her.

These two are such a lovely and very much in love couple, it was a real honour to share and capture the love and emotion of their special day.
