🇫🇷🥖🍷☀️ En Vacances ☀️🍷🥖🇫🇷

I'm off to be with my fam, under canvas, beneath the trees and as far away from my computer as possible for a bit!

Back for business on 23rd - à bientôt, mes chéris!
‘Never work with children or animals’, they sa ‘Never work with children or animals’, they say. 

But ‘they’ have clearly never met Stanley, who ran down the aisle to his dad at the beginning of the ceremony and then curled up at the couple’s feet all the way through the ceremony. 

Stanley, you were such a superstar. What a good boy!

Caught having a good giggle with Rob and Michelle Caught having a good giggle with Rob and Michelle after their happy, sunshiney wedding yesterday☀️

What a joy it was to get to know them and their story and to reflect it all in their ceremony ❤️ 

There was laughter, there were tears, there was an awesome group song, and they had two fantastic readers who knocked it out of the park. 

As if that wasn’t enough, they also had a handfasting using the scarf they’d found in the pub on their first ever date and that Rob had treasured ever since 🥰

But the star of the show was their gorgeous dog Stanley, who’s getting his own post! 🐾

It was awesome to be back at @seldenbarns and to be looked after by Naomi and her team 😃

Michelle rocked her dress from @oceanbridalstudio and her beautiful hair and make up was by @gemma_souter 💄

It was also fab to work with @darrengrittonphotography 📸 who kindly snapped this pic for us (I was sooooo glad you didn’t fall off that chair in the end Darren 😂)

[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.]

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 📸
