So I've said it before, I do like a couple that are in love!


And Sarah & William, well they're at the top of my "love list".

From the 1st moment I met them I felt all lovely inside because of how these two giggled, kissed and well.... just loved each other!


That's one of the perks of my job.

When I get to spend time with couples like this.

When they invite me into their lives and trust me to document those important moments!


Like so many other couples, Sarah & William were definitely up against it when it came to planning a wedding for 2020!

Let's just say the ride was just a little turbulent!

But in the end they still became Mr & Mrs Steed in 2021.


Love always wins!



So my day started in Moulton, near Spalding, for Sarah's prep at her parents house.

Liz Staniland was in charge of hair & makeup.

Sarah's dress was from The Little Wedding Boutique, Lincolnshire.

Around the back of Long Sutton Registration Office there's a little garden area perfect for the group photos and a few newlywed shots,

Lisa Thomas; a family friend arranged the flowers purchased from Sunflower Spalding.

And how good did they look?!

We then took a short drive round the corner and had a little shoot at St Mary's Church, Long Sutton.

The flowers were perfectly out in bloom.

And then Nigel from Beauford Wedding Car Hire followed me to a quiet road in Gedney Drove End so we could create these amazing photos with Sarah & William.

After winding our way back to the main road, the next stop was The Chequers of Weston for an amazing wedding breakfast and the speeches,

A little bit of rain never stops play, if anything, it just makes things a little more romantic.
