They say rain on your wedding day is good luck, and it blew in like a gale for Charlotte and Ryan (the luck was probably appreciated given they were also moving house that week)! But even the biggest gust couldn’t blow the cheer out of their loved ones, or the smiles off their faces, and sure enough the sun came out in time to party. They were married at Henley Town Hall, with Marlow most definitely making sure she was not missed out of any key ceremony moments! Charlotte and

Melissa and Andrej decided to tie the knot amongst immediate family at Weybridge Register Office. The best bit? The day was a total surprise for the kids, and they were thrilled! The ceremony was super relaxed, with the family joining Melissa and Andrej up at the front, in the window seats after they exchanged vows for the second half of the ceremony, and I thought that was such a lovely thing to do, to be all together in such an intimate space.

Jenny and Aaron are incredible. Their day was so packed full and right in the middle of the Devon countryside to be near family. I travelled down early morning with my fabulous assistant/second shooter, Eliza and as we weaved our way this way and that way I was suddenly very grateful to have grown up in countryside lanes myself! I dropped Eliza to Jenny’s bridal prep, and then made my way to find Aaron and the boys for a brief coverage of groom prep. I say brief... when Aaron
