Back in July, Rayna and Mark were married at The Abbey Church in Elstow. Terri from Summer Lily Studio went with Rayna for bridal prep in the morning whilst I arrived at Mark's house in Bedford to shoot some groom prep! Mark is a fireman and is a proper lad, his ushers were over at his house with him to help get ready. Being lads on their own, they could not figure out how to put on their button holes, so naturally I helped out. Now I think I have become some sort of button hole specialist...

I got some shots of the boys outside of Mark's ride to the church - the firetruck!!! I wish I could have gotten a ride in that!

Terri and I met up at the church and we watched Rayna walk down the aisle. Mark was speechless. So much so that he couldn't get his words out in the vows! 
After the ceremony we took Mark and Rayna off to a nearby cornfield for some couple shots. It was an absolutely beautiful setting and the couple looked so good together. We got a beautiful veil drop photo which is one of my favourite shots. 

The reception was held at The Mill House in Sharnbrook, a cosy but lovely venue by the riverside. It was another gorgeous day and by the river it felt almost tropical. The meal was in a marquee which was decorated with adorable vintage chic details like teacups, old books and suitcases. It was like something off Pinterest! A Photobooth with a twist was set up at the venue, instead of a booth it was a wall with photo frames, a great alternative!

The speeches were hilarious and heartwarming, I even got a mention in the best man's speech for helping them get ready that morning (cringe). The first dance was spectacular as the guests set off confetti cannons and the couple danced with their initials in the background. The DJs were absolutely INSANE and we really did not want to leave as the party was just starting! Loved this wedding, hope you love my photos from the day!
