Amy & Arron’s wedding day was certainly a hot one! Fans were out in force (the electrical kind!) by the time I arrived to capture bridal prep but everything was well organised and went smoothly – not bad considering there were three little flower girls to factor in to the equation! They looked so cute in their little dresses, and Amy looked just stunning in her gorgeous gown, along with her grown up bridesmaids too. With Arron across the courtyard finishing his last few preparations I was able to pop over to take some photos of the men too, before they headed over to the barn to welcome the guests and prepare for the ceremony.
The procession down the aisle made many people well up, the flower girls doing their job very well, and Amy & Arron’s faces when they saw each other were so full of love and emotion it was a pleasure to capture. The ceremony was beautiful, with the happy couple saying their “I dos” in front of their closest family and friends. Soon they were heading down the aisle and out into the courtyard for a relaxing, if somewhat hot, drinks reception – plenty of suncream required! With lawn games and time to chill this wedding at the end of summer was awesome to be a part of, and we got some stunning shots around the venue too. With the crazy heat, the drinks were flowing and spirits and the good cheer continued during the delicious meal and wonderful speeches.
With the evenings starting to slowly draw in, there was more opportunity for beautiful sunset shots before the newlyweds cut their cake and opened the dance floor with the first dance. As I’ve been editing these wedding photos there have been so many images that have made me really smile, and I think it’s mostly from the look on Amy & Arron’s face the whole day – they both looked so happy and so in love, I really do just have the best job ever to capture that for people!
Amy & Arron, thank you so much for asking me to capture your wedding day, I had a wonderful time, you guys are made for each other, and I hope you love the photos as much as I do! I wish you and your gorgeous little family a lifetime of happiness!

It was a pleasure doing the wedding flowers for Aaron and Amy although it was very challenging due to the scorching hot weather ! The choice of flowers that Amy picked were perfect they matched her rustic theme to a tee. Beautiful “Memory Lane” and “Avalanche” roses, pink Astilbe,Astrantia,Gypsophilia and eucalyptus foliage made up Amy’s bouquet and little bottles of gypsophilia and flowers from her theme for the table and pig troughs. A WONDERFUL DAY BY ALL !
Such beautiful photographs, we loved working with Amy and her gorgeous flower girls, we had lots of fun and the girls were exceptional at fittings… and the finished pictures of the day look wonderful. Congratulations Amy from all of us at Beau Belles
