So, where to begin. First of all a big thank you to Esme and Mike for choosing me to be their documentary wedding photographer. It was such a fantastic day. The people, the locations, the weather, the food (mmmm the food – you can see the 9 hour spit roast lamb later on) – all added up to create a really wonderful wedding. River Cottage is a fantastic venue. Nestled in an idyllic valley, you can’t help but feel relaxed and happy when you’re there. I fell in love with it! And it really suited Esme and Mike down to the ground – relaxed, welcoming and friendly. Secondly another big thanks – this time to Charlotte and Adam at Rock My Wedding for showing some of these photographs on their great site. You can read what Esme had to say about the day over on Rock My Wedding. But for now I hope you enjoy seeing a few more from their day…
