Your Hampshire & Dorset Wedding - Jan/Feb 2018 (Issue 72)

91 REGIONAL SHOOT C reate your own fairytale wedding in a magical setting. The King’s Court Centre in Chandler’s Ford is an enchanting place where wedding dreams really can come true. Recently licensed for ceremonies, it provided the ideal backdrop for local suppliers to realise their vision for this Sleeping Beauty inspired shoot. Organised by photographer Christina Hawkes and wedding event planner Kelly Boyle, the stunning staircase and stained glass window set the scene beautifully. “We felt the venue lent itself perfectly to the fairytale, with its dark-wood interior and impressive fireplace. We knew it would look magical covered in greenery, as if Mother Nature had started to claim it back,” explains Christina. “All the suppliers involved worked hard to bring our vision to life, each adding their own flair to make it come together beautifully. We were very lucky to have the gorgeous barn owl Sky join us, which added an extra touch of magic and wonder to it all.” Storybook wedding styling in a fairytale venue Images courtesy of Captured by Crissi Sealed with a kiss 
