Gemma and Joe opted for a church ceremony for their June wedding - the very same church that Gemma’s parents were married in, 35 years earlier, which added a lovely touch of sentimentality to the occasion.

With their reception at beautiful Shropshire venue Rowton Castle, Joe and Gemma’s guests made the most of the glorious sunshine as they mingled in the gardens. The roses climbing the wall leading up to the castle’s entrance were in full bloom, providing a stunning backdrop to the couple’s portraits. We were also treated to a golden hour glow as we explored the woodland area hidden to the side of the castle - lots of lovely spots for pictures!
