You may be wondering if this is a new wedding venue and I guess in a way it sort of is. Lauren and Tom had looked around on where to hold their reception for ages and then had the inspired idea of holding it within Lightwater Arboretum. A secret haunt for the dog walkers this a beautiful hidden treasure complete with lakes and fake ruins (but good fake ruins I must add). So Lauren and Tom got permission, got a marquee and had the makings of a wonderfully unique wedding reception. Styling the reception along the lines of an English country picnic guests were greeted with scones, cake and tea and then an evening hog roast.
The sweet table for the kids and no doubt the odd adult too
Napkin details
Excited bridesmaids love their dresses
I'm ready, a wink and a skipping rope in action, now there's something you wont see everyday
Tom awaits his bride
The long pretty walk up to the church
Our beautiful bride arrives

The service underway

One of the readings in the church

Couldn't resist posting this one again

The grandparents start the long walk back

And our couple are not too far behind

A lovely idea this one. Write your message to the couple and hang on the tree, building up a tree full of leafy messages to keep forever

Impromptu speeches get an interesting reaction

The sweet shop pulls in another one

Our lovely couple spend some time together in the arboretum



Back to the marquee, follow the path you cant go wrong

A great moment between friends

Absolutely love this shot

Throw it to me

And the band played on
