If pretty pastel grey, rustic vibes and hessian detailing are your thang, then you will adore today’s lovely, laid-back rustic wedding. It has heaps of elegance and was all captured by wonderful wedding photographer Kathryn Hopkins.

We married at East Hanningfield Church and love the rustic, laid-back approach, so planned our wedding accordingly.

And my dad walked me down the aisle to Canon in D by Pachelbel.

Ross and I met in a pub 11 years ago, the proposal was at Vita Bella in East Hanningfield – next door to our church.

Our wedding photographer was Kathryn Hopkins, she did an amazing job and we couldn’t be happier.

We wanted the wedding to be chilled and fun so we had a laid-back rustic affair with hessian detailing.

Small jar shots were used for the best man toast.

There were so many memorable moments throughout the day, in fact, the whole day from start to finish was perfect.

We loved every minute of our day and wouldn’t change a thing.

Our first dance was to James Arthur – Say you won’t let go – performed by Spooner’s Band.

The song describes our relationship from the beginning. Met in a pub 11 years ago, engaged in 2015 and married in 2017.
