Stephanie & Trent
Stephanie and Trent embraced the rain to enjoy an incredibly romantic and intimate wedding day with elegant detailing and plenty of fun. Stephanie tells us more…
Our wedding was a day that we will remember forever. It absolutely poured with rain, my dress was covered in mud before I even got up the aisle to my groom, but it was perfect! Our wedding unfortunately couldn't be held in the lower garden at the venue; instead we had to be under the canopy, however, it was so cosy with the rain coming down above us – it felt like you were inside watching a movie on a rainy day. It was incredibly romantic and intimate.
Trent’s favourite part of the wedding was definitely the red Mustang – this was his one request! We hired it for the whole weekend, so we got some good use out of it in the following days after our wedding.
I wanted our reception to be romantic and classic with lots of beautiful flowers, candles and fairy lights. I was so thrilled with how everything turned out.
One of the really fun things we decided was to take dance lessons. Candy Lane taught us a very simple dance to Fall by Ed Sheeran. We had so much fun with Candy; she was very sweet and very patient with us!
Overall, as cliché as it sounds, it truly was the best day of our lives. We had a great time, guests had a great time, and that’s all we wanted.
If I can give any advice to future brides, don’t sweat the small stuff, and rain brings the best lighting for photographers, so if it rains embrace it – I promise you it won’t matter and you won’t care!
