Laura and Paul are the sweetest couple, and it was such a pleasure to document all the excitement and emotions of their wedding. The day began at Nestldown, and we started up in the bridal cottage with Laura and the girls. Everyone was having a great time laughing and getting ready. Someone’s husband thoughtfully brought sandwiches and a veggie tray that was much appreciated! Laura looked absolutely stunning.
Paul looked great too, loved the suit and tie. And he had these really cool Obama cuff links.
Laura chose sweet peas for her bouquet, in shades of orange and yellow. Very summery and natural. Her dress is by Amy Kuschel. I love how Paul’s tie matches the yellow in her bouquet.
The bride is escorted down the hillside by her brother for a dramatic entrance to the ceremony.
The ceremony took place in the grotto with the fountain behind them. The weather was perfect, and the ceremony was short and sweet.
A bagpiper began playing just as they were announced husband and wife, and their guests threw rose petals at them.
We had time for a few portraits before heading over tot he cocktail hour. Nestldown has this great old black London taxi that they use to transport the couple around in, as well as a train.
Dinner was served on the lawn, which is gorgeous when the weather is nice. I love photographing with the natural setting as the backdrop. La Lavande created those lovely centerpieces as well as the rest of the floral decor. Natural and simple, the perfect style for Nestldown.
They had some amazing, heartfelt toasts.
Nestldown has this pond with a big weeping willow, surrounded by flowers. Everywhere you look, it’s gorgeous!
After dinner everyone moved into the barn for the first dance, cake cutting and dancing. What a great way to end the evening!
Congratulations Laura & Paul!
