When I first met with Jo and Dave last year I was really excited that they understood and appreciated my style of photographing and it seemed to be exactly what they were looking for! Dream come true for every wedding photographer!
They married at their local St John's Church in Havering-Atte-Bower back in July. They were lucky enough to have a scorcher of a day which was perfect for their chosen reception venue; The Old Brook Barn, just down the road with it's beautiful gardens and outdoor space.
As you'll see they put an awful lot of effort into all the handmade details and personal touches of the wedding which I am also a huge fan of. Great wedding inspo here for future brides!
Here's the story of Josephine and Dave's day...
