Today I have one of happiest weddings I have had the pleasure of sharing with you for a long time. Chris and Katie are so full of smiles and love, when they described the theme of their wedding as ‘Relaxed, joyful, colourful, fun, bright’ I really couldn’t find better words to describe it myself.

Big thanks to Jonny Barratt for the awesome photos and to Chris and Katie for filling our day with so many smiles.
