A Yorkshire Sculpture Park Wedding

I knew as soon as I stepped foot through the front door that it was going to be good! Better than good, hands down fabulous!  I started the day with Chloe at her house with her bridesmaids and family, and you could already feel the love. There is no better way to be greeted on a wedding morning than with big smiles and laughter.  Even though the rain was pouring down when I arrived, Chloe was beaming. The start of the day was filled with make up being applied, stories being told, fizz  being poured and laughter. So  much laughter bubbling with excitement.The Yorkshire Sculpture Park Matt-and-Chloe-Yorkshire-Sculpture-Park-30 Matt-and-Chloe-Yorkshire-Sculpture-Park-3 Matt-and-Chloe-Yorkshire-Sculpture-Park-2 Matt-and-Chloe-Yorkshire-Sculpture-Park-6 Matt-and-Chloe-Yorkshire-Sculpture-Park-7 Matt-and-Chloe-Yorkshire-Sculpture-Park-4 Matt-and-Chloe-Yorkshire-Sculpture-Park-13 Matt-and-Chloe-Yorkshire-Sculpture-Park-18 Matt-and-Chloe-Yorkshire-Sculpture-Park-20 Matt-and-Chloe-Yorkshire-Sculpture-Park-28 Matt-and-Chloe-Yorkshire-Sculpture-Park-16 Matt-and-Chloe-Yorkshire-Sculpture-Park-22This is Dougie, you’ll find him mostly testing out new positions on various surfaces. Matt-and-Chloe-Yorkshire-Sculpture-Park-17 Matt-and-Chloe-Yorkshire-Sculpture-Park-8 Matt-and-Chloe-Yorkshire-Sculpture-Park-15 Matt-and-Chloe-Yorkshire-Sculpture-Park-10 Matt-and-Chloe-Yorkshire-Sculpture-Park-14 Matt-and-Chloe-Yorkshire-Sculpture-Park

Chloes makeup was done by the fabulous  Lauren. Not only is she mega at what she does – she is super nice  as well! Matt-and-Chloe-Yorkshire-Sculpture-Park-27 Matt-and-Chloe-Yorkshire-Sculpture-Park-25 Matt-and-Chloe-Yorkshire-Sculpture-Park-29 Matt-and-Chloe-Yorkshire-Sculpture-Park-24 Matt-and-Chloe-Yorkshire-Sculpture-Park-31 Matt-and-Chloe-Yorkshire-Sculpture-Park-32 Matt-and-Chloe-Yorkshire-Sculpture-Park-33 Matt-and-Chloe-Yorkshire-Sculpture-Park-34

The bridesmaids loved the way their dresses were the perfect attire for doing the Cotton eye joe dance!  Matt-and-Chloe-Yorkshire-Sculpture-Park-36 Matt-and-Chloe-Yorkshire-Sculpture-Park-38I love  this picture. Best friends  feeling bump wriggle!!  Matt-and-Chloe-Yorkshire-Sculpture-Park-37

As Chloes dress had to go on over head and make up was already done, the obvious way to avoid makeup on the dress was using a scarf.  The result…..

Chloe was glowing all morning, but even more so when she stepped into her dress.Matt-and-Chloe-Yorkshire-Sculpture-Park-48 Matt-and-Chloe-Yorkshire-Sculpture-Park-50Matt-and-Chloe-Yorkshire-Sculpture-Park-52 Matt-and-Chloe-Yorkshire-Sculpture-Park-51 Matt-and-Chloe-Yorkshire-Sculpture-Park-53 Matt-and-Chloe-Yorkshire-Sculpture-Park-54

This was such a beautiful moment. Dad had been feeling the emotions through out the morning,but I don’t think there can be a way to prepare for seeing your little girl all dressed up and ready for her wedding. Matt-and-Chloe-Yorkshire-Sculpture-Park-55 Matt-and-Chloe-Yorkshire-Sculpture-Park-56

And the ladies reaction was priceless!Matt-and-Chloe-Yorkshire-Sculpture-Park-57

 

Matt and Chloe held their wedding at The Yorkshire Sculpture Park, which couldn’t have been the more perfect setting for them.

The ceremony. How do I describe how it was. To see two people so obviously happy and completely in love promise forever, it’s pretty special to watch.  They said their vows with meaning and purpose. They weren’t just repeating words, they were saying  them  direct to each others soul, and you really knew that they meant every word.

The reception was held on the terrace of the gardens and despite a day before the weather forecast showing thunder and lightning, we had brilliant sunshine. I love it when that happens.

Matt and Chloe didn’t want much in the way of formalities, but I did get to sneak them off for 10 minutes for some portraits.
