couple kissing at wedding at The Essex Barn at The White Hart

Sarah & Luke at The White Hart, Great Yeldham

Back in sunny September the day started with Sarah’ mum knitting, knitting little clothes for babies in Africa and organising a quilt of messages from guests. I even filled a square of goodwishes in too.

What a creative and kind start to a lovely day and a lovely marriage.

There was no chance of taking a serious photograph of these two, exactly what I had hoped for, for their personalities to come across in these photos.

The younger guests were also a joy to capture, whether they be scrumping for apples, trying on hats, learning from their elders or showing off some serious moves on the dance floor.

Helped by the fact one of my favourites (because they properly DJ, seamlessly mixing the very well chosen tracks), Piano DJ, were at the helm.

Such a happy day.
