duke gardens wedding photography – ann & tim

Hi everyone! Checking in again from Panama where we’re on holiday visiting my wife’s family. It’s great to get some R&R but wanted to share some Duke Gardens wedding photography from Ann & Tim’s nuptials back in early June.

The pandemic has obviously been really disruptive for weddings these last couple of years, but it definitely has had it’s positives too. I think it’s great that we seem to no longer take being surrounded by friends and family for granted. I hope that’s something we definitely keep hold of. Being with our loved ones is something I have really missed. Being able to be there and document these weddings where people are coming together for the first time in years has been very special indeed.

Seeing Ann & Tim get married in front of their daughters, friends and family was a true joy from start to finish. Here are just a few of my fave images from their special day…
