This small wedding really captured my attention for the detail shots and of course the intimacy that only a few guests can bring. Gary and Gayle tied the knot in the beautiful Georgian Merton Registry Office on a cold and misty December morning.
It was exactly two years from the day they met and they always planned a small, discreet wedding, with only their best friends and their parents. The guest total was only six, plus the Fiona the photographer, from Fiona Kelly Wedding Photography.
The dress was Berkertex Bride and had some lace detailing which was accessorised with an antique style brooch. Coupled with her dark wavy hair, almost looking as though it was 'set', there was a distinctly vintage edge to Gayle's look. They surrounded themselves with plenty of white roses, lilies and white feathers, and of course mistletoe for the winter season.
Fiona, the photographer said "the fact the wedding party was so small made it very special and even I had a little teary moment when they said their own vows. The moment they kissed had everyone crying and cheering."
After the ceremony they headed to The Treehouse in Croydon. The table decorations and all the flowers were designed by Terri from Lily Loulah and looked simply stunning. There was also plenty of mistletoe around for those traditional kisses!
Being such a private couple, it's often hard to find a photographer that's non-intrusive, but can capture the day, but with Fiona they really felt that they had a 'guest' at their wedding, rather than a wedding photographer. Fiona certainly managed to capture the intimacy of Gary and Gayle's special day.
