Every wedding that I get to work on is special but this one was especially so, as my sister (Emily) was the Bride! Emily works in the industry herself, so found it particularly hard to choose a photographer but after much deliberation decided to go with Tom Halliday. Tom was wonderful on the day, made everyone feel at ease and it felt like he was one of the guests by the end of the day, what more could you want from a photographer?
The day started at our parents’ house, where the girls got ready together and the Groom (Dave) got ready at his Mum’s with the 3 Best Men and his sisters.
Emily chose the talented Elly Jayne to do both her hair and makeup, along with all of the bridesmaids’ hair. The stunning dress was by Pronovias and was purchased from Honey B Boutique (formerly Honey’s Bridal).
The ceremony was held at the iconic St. Mary’s Church in Hitchin, followed by a reception at Offley Place Country House Hotel, where we were greeted by the fabulous Ice Baby ice cream van.
After a delicious wedding breakfast and five (yes five!) speeches, the dancing started and didn’t stop until the end of the night.
Here’s a little look at some of the highlights of the day - all photos by Tom Halliday.
