Saturday was the beautiful wedding of Emily and Ben at Holme Peirrepont Hall in Nottinghamshire. The day started at Emily’s parents house for some bridal prep action and then off to the church located on the grounds of Holme Pierrepont. After a wonderful service, we all walked over to the hall. It was one of the hottest days of the year but something we all cherished as we don’t get days like that often here in the UK. Emily looked beautiful and Ben was Mr. Cool. They were truly blessed to have such awesome weather on their special day. You guys were brilliant and I hope you have the best time in Borneo.

We started the day with Katie getting ready in the garden cottage, which was located on the grounds. Jill and I then headed to a beautiful church in the countryside.

Katie: Grabbing on to Nicks hand at the end of the aisle and his smile when he said ‘you look gorgeous’, I knew then that it was going to be a perfect day and that I had never been happier.

Nick: First seeing Katie coming down the aisle, it took my breath away and completely relaxed me.
