Our Vintage Wedding: Ceremony
Photography by Cassandra Sutton I have always wanted a very traditional and sober wedding. To me a wedding is a serious and solemn occasion and it was important to us that our ceremony was incredibly formal and dignified.

The Bride Wore Vintage
Photography by Cassandra Sutton Like many of you in the vintage community, our family and friends are not actually into vintage.

The last few weeks have been extremely busy with getting everything ready for the wedding which is now only five sleeps away! One of the best parts of the wedding prep has been visiting the flower markets. I could visit the flower markets every day and if only I could afford it I would love…

I am incredibly lucky to have these beautiful women in my life and the bridal…
Grafton
This week has been all about getting things ready for the wedding which is only a month and a half away now! We spent the last few days in Grafton where the wedding will take place, visiting the reception venue and the cathedral to organize the wedding ceremony. I’m relieved to say that things are…
