Michelle & Ben | Wedding | Rowton Castle, Shropshire

Last weekend found me at the stunning Rowton Castle, nestled in the Shopshire countryside, for Michelle & Ben's wedding. I was ably assisted on the day by my good friend and fellow photographer, Matt Wagster. This wedding had been 2 years in the making, with a baby popping up in between for good measure ! Not wanting to be outdone, little Harry had decided to make his own mark on the world by arriving exactly 1 year to the day, making the wedding day his 1st birthday too ! Ben quipped "at least I'll never forget my anniversary" LOL

The day started with the preparations in a beautiful bedroom within the castle, complete with 4-poster bed - yum ! The ceremony was held in the castle itself then it was time for Harry's birthday party, complete with magician and, of course, CAKE !

It was a very emotional day, with quite a few (joyful) tears throughout. Everyone had so much fun and the weather was fantastic.

So, without further ado, a few favourites from the day ... Michelle, Ben and Harry ... may you all continue to find happiness in each other and have a wonderful life together. Thanks so much for letting be be a part of your day.
