Naomi & Rob - A Beautiful Love-Filled Spring Wedding at Hyde Bank Farm - Hyde Bank Farm Weddings
Yesterday was a day of love in two parts: a firmly family-focused wedding ceremony at Naomi’s home church in Dukinfield where her own father is vicar - and indeed her sister’s father-in-law shared these duties and performed the marriage service for Naomi & Rob - followed by a big fat friend-filled celebration at the stunning Hyde Bank Farm in Romiley.
Sophie & Justin - A Homegrown Family-Filled Hereford Wedding - Herefordshire Wedding Photography
Following on from the emotional blessing (after having done the legal bit in peak Covid last year) the happy family was showered with confetti before we kicked off our shoes and trudged up the hill to the ancient Kilpack Castle ruins with breathtaking views of the valley below. I was so struck by how at ease Sophie & Justin are in each other’s presence - their hearts virtually beat in unison as the make their way through this world and it’s been such a wonderful privilege to witness.

Abbie & Rob FINALLY got their due: a rousing, energetic, soiree of a garden party in that same field with the original 30ish guests but another 60ish added for good measure. And OH WHAT A PARTY IT WAS! Our new(ish) Mr. & Mrs. Jones donned their wedding garb from 10 months previous but ditched the bouquet for some stylish sunnies and made their entrance to massive cheers through a much longer confetti tunnel.
