The invitation, the rings and her shoes, laid out on the morning of the ceremony at Plymouth Church before the party moved to The River Center.

Morgan & Austin

We walked out to the far edge of the field for this one and got there just as the light went gold.

The last few buttons, done by her mum. This is the part of the morning we try hardest to stay out of the way for.

Under the veil, everything outside it goes quiet. Shot close and kept in black and white.

The dress on the hook and the first proper look at it. The brick wall did the rest.

Getting ready at Little Lights on the Lane, with her bridesmaids carrying the dress in behind her.

Cut, plated and photographed before anyone else got to it, with the string lights still going behind.

Her bouquet held the whole palette of the day, so we let it sit in front and let the two of them go soft behind it.
