Last week Michelle and I headed down to Arundel for Rachel and Patrick pretty fine art Upwaltham Barns wedding, and it was true fine art as Rachel is an artist, and teacher, so she had lovingly created so many of the details from hand, including hand painting every one of orders of service herself. After the weather has been questionable for August the sunshine came out in Sussex, giving us the prettiest of hazy lights.
The service – Arundel Cathedral
Rachel had personally hand drawn and painted every single one of her orders of service. They truly were works of art! I felt very lucky to keep one for myself.
The excitement as Rachel and her bridesmaids and flowergirls waited to enter the church was visible. I adored all the beautiful flowers especially the headpieces for the flowergirls.
Patrick nervously waiting for his bride to arrive in Arundel Cathedral.
The service was particularly personal as Rachel’s Uncle took it and married them in front of their family and friends.
Upwaltham Barns wedding – The reception
Once the service had finished at the breathtaking Arundel Cathedral, Rachel and Patrick lead their guest to their stunning Upwaltham Barns wedding reception.
Their stunning peach cake was a real work of art. The flowers were out of this world and tones so delicate.
I loved that they had records to be picked out and played during the reception.
They thought about every last detail from their unusual table plan with roses inside calligraphy perspex boxes to the teepees set out in the back garden for the children to play in.
After a fun evening, and due to rain earlier in the day we headed out after sunset and created the most amazing evening flare light – thanks to my off camera flash and Michelle’s brilliant hiding techniques in the grass!
