A Parklands Quendon Hall Wedding

I’ve heard it said 100 times that if you get married in April, you are risking April showers. 
Well, the sunburn on my bald head this morning suggests that, for Rebecca and Michael, the risk paid off.
Their special day was bathed in sunshine all day - barely a cloud in the sky. 
And let me tell you, Parklands, Quendon Hall looks amazing in the sunshine! 

Rebecca and her girls got ready in the Bridal Rooms with the help of the artist that is Adrienne from Hair And Makeup With Dren

There were no real nerves on show until a letter from Michael turned up, and it all got a little emotional.

The tears didn’t last too long though and it was just as well because soon it was dress time!

Rebecca was helped into her dress by Maid of Honour (and later, Chief Dress Floofer) Zoe, before the big reveal with the Bridesmaids, Sarah and Kayleigh.

Meanwhile, Michael was waiting outside in front of all of their guests, awaiting his turn for the big reveal.
He didn’t have to wait too long though, as before we knew it, Rebecca, escorted by her very proud Dad, made her big entrance.

And, yep - it got a little emotional again! 

The ceremony was beautiful and sweet and very sunny - and was all sealed with a big ol’ kiss! 

And just like that, there was a married couple dancing their way back up the aisle  - followed by an epic and excited group shot of them and all of their guests (big thanks to Kael for his organisational skills!)

Then it was time for some shots of the very happy couple.
With some top dress floofing by Zoe, some quick dashing around the gardens in the heat, and avoiding one very angry goose, we got all of these lovely shots (plus loooads more still to come) in just over 15 minutes.

Soon enough, the wedding breakfast had been eaten, the speeches had been spoken, and it was time for a first dance (followed by a Dad and Daughter then a Mum and Son dance too).

And then - Party Time! 
I have so many pictures from the party, but these are just a few of my faves.

Just before it was time for me to leave, I stole Rebecca and Michael away for just a few night shots, and well, it was totally worth it!

That’s all for this little sneak peek, folks.
I’ll add one or two more pictures from this day to the Facebook and Instagram pages as I edit them, so feel free to follow along over there.

Huge thanks to Fiona and her super organised and efficient team at Parklands Quendon Hall for taking such good care of us and for making sure the day went smoothly.

Thanks too to all of Rebecca and Michael’s wonderful guests for making us so welcome.

Oh, and for any Americans reading this, I apologise for the English spelling of some of the words - you guys use way too many Z’s (Zeds) though!  

Huge congratulations to the very happy couple and thanks for having me at your special day.
