Bridal Prep.
With most of our couples we begin the day with Bridal prep. Our aim is to tell the story of the day, in pictures, from the preparations to the first dance as a married couple.
Nicole was one of 4 sisters so they were all bridesmaids.

Tradition is that Dad gives the bride away so we always like to ensure Mum doesn't miss out.

Ceremony
The ceremony was held outside on the clifftop. What better way to celebrate that have the sea as a backdrop? The law to allow outside ceremonies was a temporary change. Let's hope it's made permanent as it gives so much more flexibility in planning your celebrations

When the wedding was held some covid 19 restorations were still in place so the couple opted for reception in the marquee.
