Happy Wednesday everyone, we are half way through the week already! Happy days! I am brightening up your day today with this gorgeous sunny Kent wedding from back in June. It features Tom and Ebony who were married on the 11th June 2016 with a ceremony at St Mary?s Church and reception at Hoath House, Chiddingstone in Kent.
