Hi everyone! It’s been a while since I posted a wedding so I thought I’d share one from a couple of months back. Linda & Daniel were married at Market Hall back in September and the bottom-line is it rained non-stop all day. I think this is a great example of a Plan B wedding as, originally, the ceremony was supposed to take place outside on the cobblestones of Blake Street. The Good Lord had other plans though, so, with the constant downpour, everything was moved inside. Luckily, it all came together beautifully thanks to the amazing planning of Jordan and Diane of Bustled E vents. Linda and Daniel were also super chill about the whole thing and that really added to the day coming together so well.

Another stroke of luck was the fact that Linda & Daniel had already booked a post-wedding portrait session. This meant we were able to get outside with better weather to get some beautiful portraits of the newlyweds, which you can also check out below. These are a great option if you would like to spend some relaxed time taking photos as a couple in your wedding attire, but not take a whole lot of time out of your wedding day. I also recommend it as an option for couples with winter weddings who do not want to do a first look but would ideally like to have some nice portraits together. Plus it means you have a perfect excuse to wear that amazing dress/tux you spent so much money on one more time! What’s not to love?

Huge congrats to Linda & Daniel. They truly are a lovely couple and I wish them all the best for a long and happy life together!

And without any further ado, here are just a few of my picks of the pics…
