There is nothing better than being outside shooting a wedding when the weather is warm and sunny. So lucky for Kate & Andrew it was just that!

They were legally married earlier in the morning with only close family and friends and had a beautiful blessing outside in the wonderful walled gardens at Wallington hall  Northumberland. What a great bunch of people they were too! Everyone was so nice and a great time was had by all.

As usual I have posted some of my favourite pictures from the day.
