We had a great time photographing Mark and Heather's wedding last week! The weather was great and there were some lovely touches, from afternoon tea after the ceremony, including home made cup cakes and bunting through to a hog roast and ice cream van in the evening! We even made use of the steel hoardings around the church tower! It was a lovely day, here are a few images........

Follow Me on Pinterest
A couple of weeks ago we shot the lovely and intimate ceremony for Paul and Elisa at 60 Hope Street. Colin and the team really at 60 really looked after them and the cake was fabulous! After threatening skies all morning, the sun actually came out and they were able to have their drinks reception outside. All in all, a special day and lots of really beautiful images, a few of which are here......
