We love it when we have the opportunity to then capture wedding blessings here in the United Kingdom, and this has been the case twice so far in the last eight months.
A few months after they returned from their destination wedding in Cyprus, Claire and Richard had a church blessing in St. Mary's Church in Bottesford (UK). We adore St. Mary's and not just because we can walk to it from MP-HQ. It is known as 'The Lady of the Vale' and we enjoy climbing the 123 steps to the top of the 212 foot tower.
If you're a regular reader, you will know that Team MP travelled over 2100 miles to Cyprus for Claire and Richard's beautiful wedding last year.

INSIGHT
It felt like a mini-reunion as we once again met some of Claire and Richard's friends and family who had travelled with them to Cyprus outside the church in Bottesford. In what seemed like only a few moments, the time had come to enter the church with its stunning monuments.
As Claire made her way down the aisle, Richard looked nervously ahead. Strange, because they were already married, and they had been through this once before.
Claire had made all of the floral decorations, and her skill, creativity and attention to detail were incredible; we think she should set herself up in business! :-)
The vicar made a moving sermon about the difference between 'romantic love' and 'true love', the kind of love that survives through the good times and the bad; and important message that wasn't only for the Bride and Groom.
With the ceremony over, everyone stepped out into the sunshine for a few photographs before heading deeper into the Vale of Belvoir to Woolsthorpe-by-Belvoir Village Hall. The hall has huge paddocks and even a tractor allowing the children to blow-off a bit of steam.
We had a wonderful time.
Once again, it was a pleasure to spend time with Claire, Richard and their wonderful children, friends and family and we cannot wait to see them again in the near future.
Their stunning wedding blessing collection contains over 250 images and we have shared a mini-collection of 100+ Fine Art images below.
As always, enjoy!
In addition Claire and Richard used our Videography services and requested a Wedding Guest Message film - you can view this below | grab a drink, relax, 'Press play' and Enjoy! :-)
