The morning began with open windows, coffee shared between rooms, and the gentle buzz of friends arriving. Nothing felt rushed. Amelia got ready surrounded by the people who know her best, while Theo took a quiet moment outside before the ceremony.

Their vows were simple and deeply personal. There were tears, a few unexpected laughs, and a pause after the final words when everyone seemed to take one collective breath. We left the formal portraits short and unhurried, making space for the couple to return to their guests.

By the time the music began, the day had become exactly what they hoped for: generous, intimate, and entirely their own.
