A bride and groom stand in front of their wedding car at the Citadel, near Shrewsbury, Shropshire

Kathryn and Francis were married at St Michael and All Angels’ Church in Welshampton, Shropshire before travelling to their reception at The Citadel. It was such a pleasure to join this lovely couple for their special day and to capture some memories for them.

This was a classic, elegant wedding, with the groom and his groomsmen looking very handsome in their traditional morning suits, and the bride was just stunning in her simple yet timeless gown. I also loved the teardrop-shaped bridal bouquet! After Kathryn, Francis and their guests had eaten, been entertained by the lively speeches and enjoyed a wander through the Citadel’s beautiful gardens, the day wrapped up with a fantastic live band and some very enthusiastic dancing!
