[Image descriptions: Testimonial from  Simon Hazelwood-Smith - Claire Bradford is an amazing celebrant - you'll be lucky to have her at your wedding! I highly recommend her! She is full of warmth, openness, honesty, and authenticity. Her smile and boundless energy is incredibly contagious! I wish we could get married all over again - mostly so I can spend more time with Claire! Claire curated the ceremony perfectly, making sure that everything that we felt that was important to be there, was there. On the day itself Claire were there with time to spare (no mean feat given the distance!). More importantly she delivered the ceremony perfectly -  there were a few moments that could have taken away from the focus - the rain, problems with our speaker and local wildlife chiming in, but she made sure that they didn’t derail anything. And most importantly, it felt personal to us and our values. Put simply, when talking about the day with friends, many remarked that the ceremony was the best they’d ever seen. We agree.]

Village hall weddings give you so much scope to put your own stamp on your day, and they really got the brief!

If you’re looking for a photographer, a videographer or both, do have a look at their work. They are both completely awesome at what they do, as well as being downright gorgeous people 🥰

Between two trees, in the village hall garden, dow Between two trees, in the village hall garden, down a narrow lane in a sleepy village, these two tied the knot yesterday 💙💜 

There was laughter, there were tears, there was so much joy. Their twin nieces almost stole the show with their reading, there was an 8 ribbon handtying and hundreds of paper cranes, painstakingly folded by Laura and her mum over many weeks. 

What an amazing day to be part of. Congratulations Mr and Mrs Dorgan 🎉

And thanks to @phoeberossiphoto for the pic! It was lovely to work with you 📸

They both walked down the aisle, each flanked by their parents, to ELO’s ‘Mr Blue Sky’, which couldn’t have been more appropriate for the beautiful weather that blessed their ceremony. 

How lovely it was to be back at @blackstockcountryestate 💚

🦋 Benediction from a butterfly 🦋 Something 🦋 Benediction from a butterfly 🦋

Something happened at A & T's wedding that was nothing short of miraculous.

At the moment of saying their 'I dos', a white butterfly flew over to them, grazed past A's cheek and flew to T. It was a movement so purposeful, so perfectly timed, and everyone gathered there in that moment just 'knew' that it was T's very much missed mum, giving her blessing to her daughter and her new wife.

I will never forget that moment as long as I live. There were a lot of happy tears, and quite how I kept it together I really don't know.

It still gives me goosebumps just thinking about it 🦋
