An absolute dream pretty much sums up Cassie and Nathan’s big day.

It was a stunner – their wee girl Lottie making the sweetest flower girl, the blush pink bridesmaids, wild florals, an incredibly elegant gown, and a denim jacket custom-made by the maid of honour. So good!

The day began with the lads enjoying the city sights in a rooftop apartment, while the girls got dressed up at Cassie and Nathan’s lovely home on the outskirts of town. These two had a wonderful bridal party – supportive, uplifting, helpful, just the best kinds of people to have beside you.

The pre-ceremony nerves didn’t last long and Lottie stole the show, walking down the aisle like the perfect flower girl, followed by her mummy looking like an absolute goddess.

After a rocking ceremony (including a very friendly wild kitten!) and a cold drink to cool down, we headed out to the fields for some photos in the long grass. Then it was off to the reception for a kickass party!

We headed out to the fields at sunset with a few bottles of champagne to shake up. It had been a hot sunny day but the clouds came over just before sunset. We still got some epic shots of that wine spraying around!
