Naomi & Jamie: A Raucous and Glam House Party of an Ashfield House Wedding

Naomi and Jamie got married last autumn in the awesome Ashfield House, which is a quirky house in Standish. They had their ceremony at the same venue as the reception, which was great, because having everything in one venue meant more time for drinks. They chose Ashfield House because they could have the place for the whole weekend and they just fell in love with it.  It was a massive family wedding, which felt so personal and authentic to them as a couple.
