As Dorset wedding photographers, we’re fortunate to witness love stories unfold in breathtaking settings. Our home county offers stunning countryside and coastal locations within UNESCO world heritage sites, areas of outstanding natural beauty and jaw dropping nature reserves. Eden and Tommys Cleavel Point wedding photographs were created a stones throw from our offices in Purbeck. Here every natural element perfectly combined to create a truly unforgettable experience.

You may remember Eden and Tommy as the fun-loving couple from their Autumnal engagement photographs at Crichel House Archway. Their love for all thing nature and Landrovers translated into their wedding day too.

Bridal Preparation Photos at Burnbake Forest Lodges

Eden and Tommy’s Cleavel Point wedding photographs began at Burnbake Forest Lodges in Purbeck, Dorset. Eden in one luxury lodge with the girls and Tommy in another with the chaps. We were a little nervous about their outdoor wedding as the weather forecast was incredibly variable

The girls were in a very excited mood. Eden sat in the kitchen surrounded by the girls with her hair in curlers. The girls wore matching blue silk dressing gowns. She was busy writing heartfelt letters to her wedding guests.

The bridesmaids surprised Eden with a scrapbook. It had photos and words detailing important moments of her life with Tommy. Tears flowed with the emotions.

A Wonderful Wedding Morning

In the living room, the wedding makeup artist Georgia utilised the natural light streaming in through the large French windows. They called in the girls one at a time to have their wedding faces applied.

Meanwhile, in the kitchen, a family friend styled hair and jewelry was cleaned. All this took place under the watchful eyes of the family’s lovely dog, Millie.

The girls enjoyed moments of relaxation looking out over the greenery and wildlife of the forest. A bottle of blue (!) bubbly was opened outside. The lovely Dean from Sylvestris Wedding Films arrived to cover the day’s events.

As Eden’s makeup was expertly applied, two bridesmaids steamed the last creases out of her wedding dress. Even Eden’s father popped in for a little coverup!

After some toasts in the kitchen, Eden sat to have her hair styled as large bouquets of multicoloured wedding flowers from Edwards Flowers arrived.

Eden and Cameo, her sister disappeared upstairs to put on the wedding dress. She descended the stairs looking stunning if not a little nervous. With her veil in and the bridesmaids in their gorgeous blue dresses, we had a little time for group photos in the garden behind the lodge.

Outside the lodge, Eden’s father and groomsmen arrived in a classic Land Rover and a modern Range Rover. They were there to transport the girls to Cleavel Point.

Groom Preparation Photographs For A Cleavel Point Wedding

Meanwhile, Murray joined Tommy and the chaps in their lodge for the morning. After a relaxed breakfast, the chaps put on their shirts and suits. They got ready to leave quite quickly with the aid of a beer or two.

The land rovers aided in traveling to Cleavel Point. Cleavel Point is at the end of a promontory gently jutting out into Poole harbour is such a stunning location for a wedding.

Surrounded by Purbeck farmland and the shores of Poole harbour the views over Brownsea and the smaller islands. It is a great example of just what is possible in the Purbeck and has the feel of an untouched nature reserve with views to die for.

This wedding was absolutely a group affair, with a great deal of planning and DIY. For the last week Cleavel point field had been gradually transformed for the wedding day. A large sailcloth tent from Coastal Tents had been beautifully decorated with circular tables, trees, a bar, and a cake table. Outside a pool table, seating areas, bean bags, crazy golf, and other lawn games were set up. A ceremony space nearer to the water’s edge overlooking the harbour. We have to admire the talents of Emily Colle wedding co-ordinator extraordinare for stepping up to the plate a month before the big day.

The entire setup had been captured beautifully on a hand-drawn map by From Sally With Love, a reference to plan the Cleavel Point wedding photographs.

Final Preparations

The chaps triple-checked the details and decorations whilst transforming into dapper gentlemen with the aid of ties and suit jackets. Their next job was to welcome the arriving guests and organise the parking behind the wedding setup.

By this point in the day, they really appreciated the excuse to spend some ‘alone time’ together. They relished in a quiet minute to take everything in and appreciate exactly what they had achieved.
