Every image from Rebecca and Gary’s wedding brings a smile to our face, from the subtle Alice in Wonderland themed décor to the bubbling moments of excitement between the bride and groom on their wedding day. As if the treats bar at their reception weren’t sweet enough, Claire Penn Photography captured absolutely precious photographs of Rebecca and Gary’s traditional church ceremony and first moments together as a married couple.

The Couple:

Rebecca and Gary

The Wedding:

The Great Hall at Mains, Lancashire, England

The Inspiration:

My inspiration mainly came from Pinterest, I would have been totally lost without it. I wanted to go with a rustic/vintage style wedding with lots of love hearts, pink and bunting plus lots of country garden flowers and candles. I was on Pinterest every day and Esy was another site for inspiration. I just wanted everything to be really pretty!

The Moments:

Walking down the isle with my Grandad looking at Gary, very emotional and breathtaking. My Grandad is my world so it meant the world to me to have him there, one moment that I will take with me for the rest of my life is waiting for the wedding car holding my Grandad’s hand.

The Couple Recommends:

Claire Penn, our photographer, was AMAZING. Claire captured the day so beautifully. The photographs were one thing that we were really looking forward to seeing after the wedding, they are just how we imagined. Claire is really lovely also, our guests all commented on how friendly she was.

Emma at Love Bridal was also so, so lovely. I warmed to her straight away and I just knew I wanted to buy my dress from her. She has some absolutely stunning dresses in her gorgeous, fresh white boutique. I would definitely recommend future brides to visit Emma at Love.

Classic-Rustic-Wedding-Country-Pines-Mae-Small-Photography (3 of 19)

A classic pink and blue color palette paired with the rustic Country Pines of Lincoln, Nebraska made Abi and Chris’ wedding something to write home about. The pair perfectly nailed their country vintage wedding look with stunning bouquets and effortless wedding party fashion. Mae Small Photography beautifully captured every carefully planned detail an candid moment that made Abi and Chris’ wedding a dream come true.

The Couple:

Abi and Chris

The Wedding:

Country Pines, Lincoln, Nebraska

The Inspiration:

I love the classic/vintage feel and that’s really what I was going for – I wanted to encompass all of my ideas and still have them flow together. I think my florist/decorator did an amazing job of giving me exactly what I was looking for.

The Moments:

My favorite moment was really during the last song of the night, when everyone at the venue was on their feet on the dance floor and just looking around seeing everyone smiling and having a great time -unforgettable. All the hard work and planning coming together for the most perfect day. We have had multiple compliments that it was the “most fun they have ever had at a wedding” – not to brag or anything.

The Couple Recommends:
