A little bit of blog catch-up from earlier in the season.
Nicole and Jonathan got married in April at the beautiful and intimate Yaxley Hall near Eye in Suffolk.
Even if you do have the wonderful barrel vaulted music room of Yaxley Hall as a back-up, planning on having an outdoor wedding in April is a brave move indeed.
So I was delighted when Nicole and Jonathan’s bravery paid off, the sun came out and they were able to have their ceremony in the orchard garden.
Yaxley Hall has been around for over 500 years and the old English meaning for Yaxley is Cuckoo Woods. It was a little early for any cuckoos to be calling but the blue tits, robins and dunnocks were in full song as Nicole walked through the orchard towards an expectant, and somewhat emotional, Jonathan.
After some family shots on the lawn in front of the hall we spent some time with the bride and groom getting some nice portraits before heading to the marquee for the speeches and wedding breakfast. A tremendous amount of effort went into dressing and decorating the marquee, bunting, fine china, home-made cinder toffee, cupcakes lots of lovely cupcakes! There was even a full size shabby chic dresser brought in especially for the table plan, fantastic.
After their first dance the floor was invaded by Nicole’s bridesmaids and despite some very high heels her maid of honour, Lydia, preformed a Busted style leap, very impressive.
As we departed the party was in full swing and it looked like it was going to be a very good night indeed.
Here are a few shots from the day.
