It’s been far too long since I posted a wedding on here, summer was crazy busy and then I escaped to New Zealand for a little while (lots more on that soon). Anyway I’ll post some of my favourite weddings over the next few weeks to make up for the lull in activity here 🙂

This is a great wedding to start with, Helena & Seb’s wedding was packed with personal touches and memories for them. Starting off with the ceremony in the beautiful chapel of Seb’s old school in Rugby, before heading to the reception hosted in a marquee in the grounds of the Harlestone Village Institute. While the guests enjoyed their welcome drinks at the reception we headed down to the lake a a few minutes down the road, where they had their first date to grab a few portraits. 

Their families contributed so much to the day (I didn’t realise quite how much until Helena sent me over the supplier list for this blog).  Helena’s sister & Seb’s brother even sang the first dance which was a great moment.

Here’s a lovely little message Helena & Seb sent me after receiving their photos;

“I think we must have looked through them a million times already. You have captured all the happy ‘real’ moments of the day perfectly. We honestly couldn’t be any more appreciative of having such wonderful memories to look back on in years to come. And again, it was such a pleasure having you there with us throughout the day.”

Loads of details to include from this wedding – I’ve tried to fit in as much as possible. Enjoy the photos and find all the amazing suppliers at the bottom of this post!

Thank you for having me, and a super massive congratulations to to Helena & Seb!
