Saturday was my final wedding for 2016 and what a way to end. When Richard and Karen booked me I was actually already fully booked for the year but couldn’t resist a final wedding at the incredible Holkham Hall.

The day arrived and it was wet! I headed to meet Karen in Burnham Market getting ready with her bridesmaids and her and Richard’s beautiful little girls. With the fabulous Tracey Ward on hair and the awesome Emily from Love Moi Makeup on makeup the girls looked stunning and Karen looked incredible as she got into her lace backed dress.

After she headed downstairs to meet her Dad I headed off to get to the beautiful Holkham Hall. Richard had arrived with his boys and guests were starting to take their seats. The Marble Hall is the most incredible place to get married and despite its grandeur felt welcoming and cosy with the rain coming down outside.

Karen arrived and was helped out of the car by her dad gallantly covering her with a brolly! A beautiful ceremony followed with 2 very special readings and a little interruption by their littlest girl Lily. After a cuddle with mummy the ceremony got back underway!

After the ceremony the rain had not let up so we reverted to plan B and got all their family shots and couple shots inside the beautiful areas of the hall.

They had booked a mini package for the day so I left them as they headed back off to the Hoste for their evening reception!

Despite the rain Karen, Richard and their girls were wonderful, up for anything and stretched their timings so we could get everything we could at the Hall before they left… and boy do I have some wonderful moments…. here are my favourite five…

Huge thanks to the staff at Holkham for being so helpful in the wet conditions!
