Mulberry House Wedding
When I met Sarah and Matt last year I just knew their wedding was going to be awesome! These two are so much fun and spend most of their time laughing and giggling together. Plus- Mulberry House and an incredibly beautiful little church in Ongar on the sunniest Saturday this year so far?! Possibly the best wedding combination ever!
The morning kicked off to a good start and I knew it was going to be a fun packed day with all the excitement in the air. Mum was dancing and even Nan was ready for a good time! Also, have you ever seen such a beautiful bunch of bridesmaids in one day?! How pretty are their dresses and flowers too!
Sarah's lace, Stella York dress was SO stunning and she took my breath away when I saw her in it! I think her Dad was pretty pleasantly surprised too judging by his face! Not to mention Matt when he saw Sarah enter the church that day. Despite having been together already for over 10 years, I don't think he could quite believe his luck when Sarah was walking down the aisle with her Dad.
Of course, there was confetti overkill after the ceremony! To mark the celebration of these two tying the knot, all 80-odd guests - quite aggressively, chucked a ton of confetti at them haha.
At Mulberry House, the celebrations continued and everyone enjoyed the happy vibes in the sunshine. The marquee was looking absolutely stunning and I loved the gold and soft pink tones of the table decor and flowers.
On such an incredibly hot and sunny day, the sunset did not disappoint and was the perfect time for us to capture some beautiful natural portraits of Sarah and Matt together. The gardens at Mulberry House are particularly beautiful in May and the blossom and greenery was looking so lush! It would be criminal not to use such a pretty backdrop.
After Sarah and Matt's first dance and beautiful father-daughter dance; which always chokes me! The party KICKED OFF! With Sax and Bongos- a fantastic duo that made sure the dance floor was packed and really got everyone going. In fact, I was having such a good time I didn't want to leave and ended up staying much later than expected! haha #sorrynotsorry
I had to stop myself from posting all of them! BUT here are just a few of my favourite moments from this elegant and fun black tie wedding at Mulberry House.
THANK YOU Sarah and Matt for having me share such a beautiful day with you both and your fabulous friends and family. You two are awesome and I loved every minute.
