COVID-19 And Your Wedding

13/3/2020

1 Comment

 
The UK has gone in to panic buying pasta and loo roll, the government are debating whether or not schools should close and gatherings of 100 people or more should be cancelled. While I'm wondering if I can still surf and everything will be ok!

We can't ignore it anymore. What will happen to your 2020 wedding with this virus?!

Well, I am planning on attending EVERY wedding I have booked in my dairy - and no I am not planning on showing up in a hazmat suit or wearing a face mask!

However, in the event that the sea and my multi vitamins can't save me from the dreaded lurgy, I of course will not rock up to your wedding ready to infect all your guests. In case of this event, I will treat it like any other illness as outlined in my contract. Behind the scenes the wedding industry is busy pulling together to form the COVID-19 alliance, so we can support each other if we need to.  Meaning I will find someone awesome to cover for me on the day!

But if you are in extreme panic - we have options!

NUMBER 1: Scale Down Your Day!
If you're having more than 100 guests it may be worth rethinking and cutting down your numbers, to reduce the risk of spreading the virus. 

NUMBER 2: Postpone Your Day!
Yes, I am not a huge fan of this one either as I am super excited for all my 2020 weddings! But if you are in that much of panic over the Coronavirus, it may be an option to think about. ​

My Advice

Despite our options, I am not in panic over the COVID-19 outbreak. As I have said I am eagerly awaiting 2020 wedding season to kick off next week! I would be chatting to your wedding venues to ensure they have deep cleans and protocols in place to help reduce the spread of the virus. Chat to your guests and family to make sure they are cleaning their hands thoroughly, using the highly recommended method of singing Happy Birthday while they do this. Or perhaps another song of their choice! I would also recommend to all your guests to not show up to your wedding in a face mask - although it may make the wedding photos slightly more amusing to look back on!

A Beautiful Bluebell Elopement

28/1/2019

Lurking beyond the farming fields and deep into the woods of Winterborne Zelston in North Dorset, a magical place would appear once a year. As you stepped along the woodland trail and around the bend, the woods would open and a sea of blue would stop you in your tracks, filling you with pure delight.

My wonderful friend and awesome wedding planner, Rachel, organised a team, sorted dresses, head pieces and even homemade confetti for an incredible elopement styled wedding shoot amongst the stunning bluebells ❣

An Outdoor Wedding At Stockbridge Farm Barn, Sherborne.

9/11/2018

I had the pleasure of capturing the lovely Rob and Bex get married at Stockbridge Farm Barn, a gorgeous rustic barn a few miles from Sherborne. I met Rob and Bex a while back at their home in Southampton and we instantly clicked, their cats also loved me! They are a very chilled out couple who, like everyone, hates having their photograph taken. But having a stunning relaxed venue, a sunny day ad my relaxed approach set us on a very fun journey! 

Due to the amazing weather we were lucky enough to have the wedding outdoors under the barn roof. It was absolutely perfect!

The Awesomely Stunning Wedding Of Grace & Matt At Dean's Court Wimborne.

28/7/2018

0 Comments

 
The beautiful DIY rustic wedding took place at St Andrew's Church in Kinson, then moved on to the picturesque marquee by the river at Dean's Court in Wimborne.  The whole wedding was full of laughter and tears, gorgeous colours and wonderful grounds to explore! 

I met the girls and Dad at Grace's parents house before meeting Matt at the church. With a slight hangover from the pre-wedding family meal, Grace was soon ready to pop the bubbles and enjoy being pampered with hair and make-up. It was then on to the church to meet Matt and the wedding guests. The ceremony was beautifully executed, with help from their family friend and vicar from Wadebridge, Cornwall to add some personal touches. 

After a creative attempt on confetti - where one box was passed between all the guests - we headed on to Dean's Court. Here we had prosecco waiting, garden games and finally the sun came out to join us...

Mrs & Mrs Bailey-Ryall | A Wedding At The Victorian Barn, Blandford, Dorset - Sofie Michelle Photography

15/4/2018

My first wedding of 2018 was quite possibly one of my favourites ever and also my first ever Mrs & Mrs! I have had the pleasure of knowing Charlie for well over 10 years, with her wonderful mum, Michelle, being my trampoline coach as teenager. Charlie and I used to coach gymnastics together, along with her sister and bridesmaid, Lucy. It was awesome to catch up with them all through hair and makeup. I met Mel on our first consultation over coffee, with a love for sport and adventure I could see that Charlie and Mel were the perfect match. 

My morning started early on Saturday 10th March, after some heavy snow during the week, we were lucky to have snow free roads and lovely sunshine through the day. First up for hair and make up, by the super talented Caroline and Elke at Amazing-Face Bridal Hair & Make Up Dorset, was Charlie (Team Ryall).  Where we sipped coffee and nibbled on biscuits, caught up with from the past 10 years, reminisced over our gym days and wow'd over her stunning wedding dress which was originally her Grandmother's 55 years ago!
