Beth & Adam are a great couple and I wish them a long and happy marriage. Thank you for your kind hospitality and for choosing me to capture your big day.
As always, I made it a point to arrive an hour early to the wedding venue. This gave me ample time to explore the space and identify the best locations for photo opportunities. I walked through the gardens, taking note of the natural lighting and any unique backdrops, while also reviewing my notes and the day’s schedule to ensure I was fully prepared. Once I felt confident about the setting, I treated myself to a quick cup of coffee. With a sense of anticipation, I set off to meet the bride-to-be, eager to document her preparations and the excitement leading up to the ceremony.
Beth and Adam chose to have a civil wedding, which took place in the Cedar Room. After the ceremony, guests enjoyed drinks and canapés on the rear terrace. It was a typical autumn day, which allowed me to capture some beautiful outdoor wedding photos. The rest of the day went smoothly, and everyone had a wonderful time.
Thank you for your generous hospitality and for selecting me to capture your special day.
