Jen & Matt’s Wedding at the Ivy Manchester and reception at Davenport Green Hall

This was our first wedding at an evangelical church so it was definitely a little different to usual.  There was a great sense of community which made the service feel very intimate despite there being lots of guests, and the music in particular was amazing and really added to the occasion.  One of the many lovely little touches was a song co-written by Jen for their marriage which was performed during the service.

Jen & Matt are both really into photography themselves so they set aside so much time for their pictures it was amazing.  Plus the fabulous weather (and copious amounts of blossom) helped too!  Here are some of our favourites from the day:

Jen & Matt had planned the date of the wedding so they could get some pictures with the blossom trees and so they took us to a nearby botanical garden which has the most photogenic blossom we’ve ever seen!  We had so much fun here!

Jen & Matt’s pictures are amazing! it was brilliant to see you two at work at our friends wedding and i can’t wait to see what fab shots come out at our wedding on 13th June! If our pictures are anywhere near as beautiful as these we’ll be a very happy pair!
