Romina + Richard’s Wedding at Rudding Park, Harrogate – Part One

Oh my what a wedding this was!  Romina and Rich had thought of everything; the details were spectacular and created a cool, quirky and fun vibe.  They chose to marry at Rudding Park in Harrogate (a beautiful place), and had not one but two ceremonies – a relaxed civil ceremony first with close family followed by a ceremony in the gorgeous chapel.  They also had a ‘first look’ before walking into the civil ceremony together, which was a lovely moment.  Rich hates having his picture taken, and Romina loves pictures – I think it shows how much he loves her that he let us do our thing, and I must say was an excellent model.

It turns out Romina and I already knew each other from uni, we weren’t in the same year but we did dance together (a piece which involved rolling around in a corridor – oh how life is different now!), so there were a few familiar faces at their wedding too!

I’m going to start with the shoes, as they were the first thing chosen for the wedding!

The amazing dress required a trip to Italy…

A fun morning getting ready…

Romina was pretty pleased with her makeup!

Time to go and meet her groom!

Rich was nervously excited!

I just love these…

Hi 5 if you wanna get married!

The civil ceremony was really lovely, short and sweet – just how they planned.

Married!

It was really lovely that their close family could be part of this extra bit of the day!

Time for Mr + Mrs to put their glad rags on for ceremony number two!

Shoe time!

Love. This. Veil.

Romina = stunning.

Rich was being entertained by his best men…

Here we go!

Such a beautiful setting…

The band started playing as soon as they came out of the church, brilliant!
