As the registrar joked during Jill & Paul's ceremony, "only fools rush in", and so it was that after 18 years together (and more than a year later than originally planned due to Covid) that they said their vows. In a touching ceremony, their son walked Jill down the aisle, and instead of 'giving her away', officially 'brought her in' to the family.

They say that couples that laugh together, stay together; so these two clearly have a long future together. Their wedding day was full of giggles and smiles, despite the rainy weather.

Only my third wedding in seven years of being a wedding photographer where it has literally rained non-stop all day. However, if you had to choose a venue for a rainy day, the Berystede would be an excellent choice. With lots of lovely corners for wedding photos, and with the conference rooms looking gorgeous with twinkly lights, it made for the perfect photography backdrop.

Thank you both for choosing me to capture your big day, it was an absolute pleasure to be a part of it.
