It’s been a crazy time for weddings and the wedding industry. While the small intimate weddings of last year were lovely, the promise of bigger weddings meant people were booking in a smaller window for 2021. Understandably so, with the lure of dancefloors and hugging and kissing friends and family back on the cards! This meant that my first wedding of 2021 wasn’t until the 26th June, which seems crazy.

Like lots of couples, Carly & Jonny had already postponed  their Broome Park wedding from last year to this new date. This new date was also falling after the initial date given of all restrictions lifting by 21st June. Sadly, this easing of all restrictions was delayed and Carly & Jonny were still limited on the day with the amount of guests allowed. With venues still needing to be operating Covid secure, numbers were limited, despite the Government letting the public think otherwise!

However, so many things could go ahead and lots of their friends and family could attend, so it was definitely a go! The day was beautiful and warm and I was there from Bride and Groom prep through till 10pm. My first full wedding day in what felt like forever, and I was loving it. The venue itself is beautiful, with stunning grounds and gardens and a beautiful room for bridal prep. The wedding ceremony itself was held in the Italian gardens and made a beautiful backdrop to be married in. Thee was also a beautiful marquee set up in the grounds for the food, speeches and dancing. With Jonny being Scottish, family and friends had travelled down from Scotland for the wedding. Jonny was also wearing traditional Scottish dress for his wedding outfit alongside his son and best man.

The whole day, from the minute I arrived, to the moment I left felt like a celebration. With restrictions being eased, family and friends were loving being around each other again and it showed in everyone’s faces. I am so grateful that I had such a beautiful and fun wedding to  kick start my wedding season off with. Congratulations Carly & Jonny and thank you for choosing me as your photographer to document your day for you x
