One of the best moments of my wedding day was the moment I stepped into church with my dad and saw all the people we love gathered under one roof. That moment will be the first time the guests clap eyes on the bride but it’s also the first time the bride gets a look [...]
Some of the things I love and love to feature on this blog: strong women, Yorkshire, beautiful things, unique design and vintage influences. So this wedding inspiration shoot had just to be here.
