I think I really love this wedding. There's just something about all the gorgeous lighting at the venue and this laid back, fun-loving couple that I just adore! 

Ciara and Matt chose The Church Restaurant, Northampton as their venue, an old church which has been revamped with awesome lighting and modern fittings. Ciara and Matt both dressed at the Hilton Hotel just down the road, myself and Summer Lily Studio split up and I headed for the boy's room and she headed to the bride. I spent some time with Matt, who opened his presents and card from his bride-to-be and then headed down to the bar to have a final drink as a single man!

I then headed over to the girls to see how they were getting on. Ciara looked so stunning in her fishtail gown with all her maids in black multi-tie dresses. When Ciara stepped out fully dressed, the look on Ciara's father's face was priceless. The venue is right in the centre of a ring road which meant that Ciara had to step out into the road to exit her car! However this didn't faze her one bit and made for some unique photos!

We whisked the couple away after the ceremony to the nearby Delapre Abbey which is an amazing stone building with vast grounds! We got some fab photos of the pair messing around and enjoying themselves as newlyweds. I just love the way Matt makes Ciara laugh and their willingness to try all sorts of silly ideas! Perfect couple! 

Highlight of the speeches was the best man's speech. He brought out a huge floor to ceiling poster of Matt dressed in just a string vest on his stag do!!! Ciara was literally crying with laughter it was amazing! A lovely touch to the evening was an homage to Matt's father who sadly never made it to the big day. The guests all created little toy planes at their tales and then threw them into the air over the bride and groom. It was such a lovely sentiment.
