With the grand reveal of the east wing refurbishment at Matfen Hall less than two weeks away, my mind skips back to this beautiful wedding last summer. The sun was shining, everyone looked amazing and Rachael and Mark didn't stop smiling all day. I honestly don't know if this day could have been better.
THE PROPOSAL
"We first met at Northumbria University in 2008, where we lived in the same halls. We quickly became friends, and after a couple of years we started our relationship. Mark proposed to me shortly after moving into our first home on my birthday in 2015, it was such a romantic day."
THE INSPIRATION
"We wanted our day to to be simple but elegant, with a relaxed atmosphere and a rustic/vintage theme."
THEIR MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT
"We loved every minute of our wedding day, especially having all our family and friends celebrating with us. Our most memorable part of the day was just after the wedding breakfast had finished and we got some time to ourselves, It was the first time that we were completely alone and it gave us a chance to take a few deep breathes and take everything in."
THE PHOTOGRAPHERS
"We first met Chrissie and Nigel when they photographed our best friends wedding and got to see their work first hand. When it came to picking a photographer for our day it was an easy decision to make. It was important to have our specical day captured in a way that told the story of the day. Weddings are a busy day and full of moments that will be remembered for the rest of our lives. Looking back through our album now, every photo brings back a memomy."
ADVICE
"Enjoy every minute of planning your wedding and don't get stressed about the little things."
