Well….what an incredible day- Its so good to have weddings back, today was filled to the brim with love, laughs and celebrations.

From bridal prep at the quaint rustic cottage that is The Old Dower House in Marbury, Hayley and her bridal party gathered for a morning of pampering and relaxation, overlooking the gorgeous gardens. Behind the shrubbery gave way to the view of the very church they would be married in.

Bridesmaids, Brideman & Mum helped Hayley in to her stunning dress & Jimmy Choo shoes ( which I thought were the perfect contrast next to the Wellington boots stacked up in the courtyard.

Dad Roger arrived and it was safe to say it was an emotional hello as he beamed with pride upon greeting Hayley.

Groom Tom ( sorry, I mean Tim) awaited at the top of the aisle for his bride to be.

A beautiful ceremony ensued along with hymns and readings from Hayley’s brother & Tim’s sister.

With rings & vows exchanged the new Mr & Mrs Drohan were announced to the congregation.

Group portraits took place outside the church grounds which overlooked a breath-taking view of the nearby lake. Confetti showered the happy couple as they left to make their way to their wedding reception.

Arriving at Grange Barn to the succulent smells of the smoker, the guests gathered on the terrace for cocktail hour.

I have to say the location Hayley & Tim chose is a special one. I was taken aback as soon as I walked in to Grange Barn. Every detail of this venue is just so well thought out and so tastefully decorated. I loved the layout of the tables & chairs. This is such a social space and the perfect setting for a large gathering like todays.

The time came for speeches to commence, Hayley’s dad Roger gave a beautifully emotional speech and its safe to say everyone was feeling the love from his kind words about the happy couple.

Groom Tim thanked many people which of course he felt should be paired with many toast’s and cheers - bottoms up to everyone.

…And finally best man Stu, what a speech, he knocked it out the park providing many funny stories of his best friend ( I don’t think Tim looked up for a sold 10 minutes at one point ) ending his speech with a Tim quiz - each table provided with A & B optional answers. As the chatting part was done…then it was then time for the eating.

All I need to say about that is …. Meat, Smoker & then more Meat. Delicious.

Finally it was time for the newlyweds to take to the dance floor - top scores for the song choice!

Wham - Im your man what a way to get the party started, everyone joined the newlyweds on the dance floor and they most certainly brought their dance moves.

It was an absolute pleasure to capture this wonderful couples special day, Congratulations again to the new Mr & Mrs Drohan.
