At the beginning of the the month, two very special people got married. The wedding, put together on a shoestring and organised in just seven weeks, took place in a little village in Oxfordshire.
We have another wedding to go to this weekend and it will be a different type of celebration altogether, but the act of marrying, choosing one person to be with for (what is hopefully) the rest of your life is still very emotional for me. The handful of weddings I attended before my own nuptials were fun, but I feel like now I appreciate the significance of and enjoy these ceremonial occasions a lot more.
I was lucky enough to be asked to photograph this blushing bride get ready, and my (multiple) cameras and I didn’t pause to take a break for the rest of the day. All our friends pitched in to make the wedding so special, and Mr Ship-Shape even had the honour of acting as celebrant, conducting the ceremony, which was emotional to say the least.
As I plough my way through editing the 1,000+ photos I took *gulp*, I thought I’d share a few from the day. Congratulations L & K – here’s to a lifetime of happiness and cheese!
Gorgeous looking wedding! I’m off to one on Saturday and can’t wait!
Beautiful photos! I haven’t been to many weddings but I love them, they’re magical! <3
