Hampton Lea Gardens Wedding Photos and Morrell & Co Wedding Reception

Kelly and Tim’s wedding was a magnificent end to the wedding season!

Kelly and her bridesmaids were getting ready at Hampton Lea Gardens when I arrived. Lots of nerves and excitement! Once Kelly was dressed and ready to go she had a special moment with her Dad seeing her for the first time in her gown. His reaction was the most wonderful. So happy and proud of his daughter.

The wedding ceremony was held outside (yay the weather held out!) and before they knew it, Kelly and Tim were husband and wife!

The bridal party stayed at Hampton Lea until sundown so we could take some photos. That was when the sun came out! Far out, I was a happy photographer! There certainly is nothing like the gorgeous autumn sun right before sunset. Kelly and Tim looked absolutely stunning in the light.

Next, it was off to Morrell & Co for a canape dinner with friends and family. Warm, relaxed and happy.

It was amazing to share your day with you Kelly and Tim. Thank you so much for asking me to be your wedding photographer – it was such a special day 🙂
