Yesterday at the gorgeous Mulberry House in Essex, Michelle and Harry were treated to some Mediterranean weather for their special day.
And what a day it was.
Michelle spent the morning with her girls getting ready in the bridal suite.
My favourite moment of the getting ready part of the day was the moment that Michelle’s Dad saw her.
Meanwhile two of Michelle’s besties were outside entertaining the guests with some wonderful singing while Harry waited for his beautiful bride.
She obviously knocked his socks off the moment he saw her.
The ceremony itself was just lovely. Short, very sweet and bright and sunny. It was all sealed with a big ol’ smooch and a walk back down the aisle to cheers and applause from their excited guests.
And then they were absolutely pelted with confetti. So much confetti.
Next, the very newly weds and I took a little stroll around the amazing Mulberry House grounds for some gorgeous wedding photos.
And then some group shots back in the garden.
After the delicious food had been eaten, the speeches had been expertly delivered and one or two cocktails had been enjoyed, Michelle and Harry came outside for 10 more minutes with me to get some dusk photos - I love these so much.
And then it was time for Michelle and Harry to have their first dance together as a married couple.
And then the moment this lot had been waiting for… PARTY TIME!
That’s all for this little preview, folks.
An incredible day for the most wonderful couple.
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 and re-live some more beautiful moments.
Huge thanks to all Mulberry House for taking such good care of me and for making sure everything ran smoothly. Special mention to Jo who was a diamond from start to finish!
On Friday Rachel & Jason were treated to some Mediterranean weather in Essex as they tied the knot at the beautiful Friern Manor.
Neither Rachel or Jason are overly fond of having their photo taken so they only booked me for 3 hours - just enough time to get all the essentials - like Rachel getting ready with her girls before the ceremony.
Rachel’s son Fin was walking her down the aisle and it was such a lovely little moment when he saw his Mum all ready to go.
Meanwhile Jason was waiting for his beautiful bride.
He didn’t have to wait long though, Rachel appeared right on time and Fin did a great job of escorting her down the aisle.
The ceremony itself was really lovely. Short and very sweet and all sealed with a smooch and a walk back up the aisle to Dennis Waterman’s I Could Be So Good For You.
The part Rachel and Jason were dreading the most was the ‘smoochy’ pictures so we got them done in record time (7 minutes!) and got the very newly weds back to their guests.
Back in the garden area we had some group shots and confetti.

Wow, what a day this was. Summer returned and Abbey Farms looked glorious for these two absolute legends.
Kayleigh got ready at her folks home and she had a wonderful morning with her girls.
Before we knew it, it was dress time and it’s fair to say that Kayleigh blew everyone away!
And how great did all the girls look together!
And then it was showtime so we all headed to St Leonard’s Church, a beautiful old 13th century church tucked away in quiet little corner of the Abbey Farms ground next to an old ruined chapel. Lucas was there awaiting his beautiful bride.
He didn’t need to wait long though. Kayleigh was right on time and she wowed everyone.
The ceremony itself was lovely. Fun and joyous and all sealed with a big ol’ smooch and a walk back down the aisle to whoops and cheers!
On the short walk back to the main venue we stopped for a few beautiful photos.
It was then time for a quick dress change (Kayleigh actually changed into her Mum’s wedding dress at this point - how amazing!) and a Chinese tea ceremony that made an emotional wreck of everyone - including me!
After the delicious food had been eaten, the speeches had been expertly delivered and one or two glasses of wine had been enjoyed, Kayleigh changed back into her white dress and we set off on a little sunset walk around the farm grounds.
And then the dancefloor opened up for the couple’s first dance followed by one heck of a party!

Thanks too to all of Kayleigh and Lucas’ wonderful guests for making me so welcome. I had a blast with you all!
Thanks in particular to Nathan for hunting down all of the stragglers for the group shots and to Aisling for her dress floofing skills.
