Natalie and Ashley at Slaley Hall

Ashley and Natalie chose the beautiful surrounding of Slaley Hall for their very special day and it's not difficult to see why. The hotel is very comfortable with beautiful features and decor and great for indoor and outdoor photos...which makes your photographer very happy by the way!

In the morning I was greeted by lots of excited girls and this is the moment I always know we are going to have a good day! The sun was shining and Natalie looked absolutely stunning next to her bridesmaids in midnight blue. Natalie is from Scotland and her heritage was honoured by kilts (of course!) and the odd tartan detail here and there.

Following a emotional ceremony, guest spilled out on to the large terrace for reception drinks and photos and then I was able to steal the newlyweds away for some quality time alone. At the end of the photos it decided to rain a little! Shock! But we had a large umbrella on hand and I am a sucker for photos with brollies!

I hope you enjoy this montage of their beautiful day and I'd like to wish Natalie and Ashley a very long and very happy marriage.
