Annie and Grant’s beautiful Pavilions at the Angus Barn Wedding was a really fab day to document. It was a day of contrasts; from the bride and bridesmaids getting ready in their hotel suite through to the Angus Barn’s bridal parlour full of mirrors and vintage furniture, the overcast day that turned into a beautiful sunset that lit the wedding ceremony perfectly, and the touching, poignant and funny toasts that then led to a crazy few hours of full-on dancing. There was certainly no shortage of photo opportunities!

A big thanks goes out to the Angus Barn staff for their organizational skills (they run a very well-oiled machine over there that keeps everyone on track) and their warm hospitality (best vendor meals ever!), the Rev. Barbara Lodge for her delicate yet fun touch with the ceremony itself, The Perfect Beat for keeping the dance floor jamming, and to my assistant Rebecca for humoring me and keeping me under control whilst delivering great images! Thanks also to all the other vendors listed above who contributed to a great day.

Finally, a big thank you to Annie & Grant and their friends and family for letting me into their inner circle on such an important day in their lives. It was a total honour to be with you all and document your big day. Best wishes for a long and happy future together.
