Getting Ready


I arrived while Louise was getting ready with her bridesmaids in their getting ready room, and Elliot was greeting guests.

Makeup was by Suzie from Lovebird Makeup, and hair by Ruby from The Hair Retreat Cheltenham.

Ceremony


Louise & Elliot chose to have a hand-fasting ceremony, which was traditionally held outside. It was quite chilly, being February....but they provided hand-warmers for their guests!
