Mel & Dean - An Intimate Woodland Wedding at The Love Shack - Cheshire Wedding Photography

People are like cities: We all have alleys and gardens and secret rooftops and places where daisies sprout between the sidewalk cracks, but most of the time all we let each other see is a postcard glimpse of a floodlit statue or a skyline. Love lets you find those hidden places in another person, even the ones they didn’t know were there, even the ones they wouldn’t have thought to call beautiful themselves.

Mel and Dean's wedding at The Love Shack in Knutsford was nothing short of magical. From the serene woodland setting to the heartfelt moments, every detail contributed to the day's beauty and intimacy.

One of the most touching elements of the ceremony was Mel's 9-year-old daughter, Phoebe, walking her down the aisle through the enchanting woodland. It was a testament to the close bond they shared and added a poignant touch to the proceedings.

Both Phoebe & Mel wore matching blush pink dresses, complementing the romantic ambiance of the day. The simplicity and elegance of their attire perfectly mirrored the intimate nature of the celebration. This tied in perfectly with Dean’s floral waistcoat from Next!

The wedding itself was small and intimate, attended only by the couple's parents and two close friends. Despite the small guest list, the love and warmth in the air were palpable as Mel and Dean exchanged vows and sealed their commitment to each other. Cheshire registrar June performed a moving and personal service in celebration of the happy couple, it’s always a joy working with her and her colleague Tricia!

Following the ceremony, the newlyweds and their guests gathered for a cake cutting ceremony and plenty of beautiful photos. The Love Shack provided a picturesque backdrop for capturing the joy and love shared between Mel and Dean.

Mel and Dean's journey together spans six years, and their wedding day was a beautiful culmination of their love story. Their affectionate and sweet demeanor towards each other was evident to all who witnessed their union.

As a photographer, I had the privilege of capturing the love and joy that filled the air on Mel and Dean's special day. Every click of the camera lens immortalized precious moments that they will cherish for years to come.

Mel and Dean's wedding was not just a celebration of their love; it was a testament to the beauty of simplicity and the power of genuine connections. It was an honor to be a part of such a beautiful and intimate occasion, and I wish them a lifetime of love, happiness, and cherished memories together.
