christie & bernie

Well.. this is my very first, official, didn't know the couple before, professional, as 'Emma Case Photography' wedding!!!!
Christie contacted me back in November and straight away I knew just how ace she was. Not only did she mention fake moustaches and knee-sliding as part of the wedding plan but she was funny and honest and completely on my wavelength. We emailed back and forth in a 'know each other already' type of way and by the time me and Pete were driving up to Devon on the 30th January I was a little nervous but so excited to finally meet her (we didn't get the chance beforehand) and her soon to be husband... the Berninator!
The wedding was held at the most amazing Huntsham Court... oh man the bathroom in the bridal suite was AMAZING, oh and the library... and the... well you can see for yourselves, the whole house is stunning!
The ceremony (that I wasn't allowed to photograph.. grumble, grumble) was beautiful with a really heartfelt speech from both Christie and Bernie's sisters (I'm gonna have to man up in this profession as I could feel myself going) and then food was served followed by a wonderfully proud speech from the Father of the Bride and a particularly funny song by the Best Man and his guitar!
Instead of a wedding cake they had a 'pig'nata (pinata) and for the evening entertainment 'Gabby Young & Other Animals' played their socks off (you need to check this band out) and EVERYONE was dancing! Finish it all off with about 3 hours of The Photo Booth which had me literally in pain through laughing too much and you have all the ingredients for one hot wedding.
Christie and Bernie, I wish you every success and happiness for your new life in Germany together (Bernie is German so they're moving over there). I had the best time and I think all of your guests did too. Thank you so much for being my first wedding... I wouldn't have wanted it any other way :)








I could actually live in this bathroom....







Had to grab them both for 5 minutes outside! (not me physically grabbing them... more, them grabbing each other... well, you know what I mean...)





Then it was food time.... (Christie had a slight obsession with rats apparently?!?)


The Father of the Bride in a very cool tash get up.....
Christie and Bernie wondering whether the tash would indeed stay on for the whole speech...

PIGNATA (Pinata) TIME!!!!!...

Then there was some music and some dancing....




Mr and Mrs Dietz.....
The Photo Booth madness is to follow! The queue for the booth was pretty much on a loop and my arm and ribs were aching by the end! What a bloomin' great day! I seriously could've posted a ton more photos today but I'm sure there is some sort of wedding blog etiquette so I've stopped now.
