a beautiful spring wedding

on the 5th of May 2013, my cousin Natasha and her fiancé Ryan became husband and wife. I was fortunate enough to witness the marriage of the wonderful couple, and the day was just fantastic. I have a humungous family (mum's side) and we're all very close. the wedding was filled with happiness, laughter, wonderful food and drunken dance moves in the evening. the whole day was spent in a breath-takingly beautiful location in Kent. the afternoon brought sunshine and the setting looked even more beautiful. blooming flowers, tea-lights, ribbons and all sorts covered the gardens, very romantic indeed.

the ceremony itself was lovely, and I can assure you most guests were teary-eyed. the wedding breakfast was delicious, and the table setting made it even more enjoyable. personalised m&m's, gems and gorgeous flowers added to the beautiful room we were seated in. once the food was eaten and the speeches were finished, we were moved back into the garden while the room was transformed for the evening antics. a fantastic live band performed throughout the evening, as well as a DJ playing a mix of classic and new songs. a photo booth was placed in the corner of the room which myself and other guests thoroughly enjoyed playing around with. a delicious evening buffet was served, and a spectacular performance was given by my cousin's close friend who is a professional gymnast/acrobat/dancer.

the whole day was just wonderful and I had a fantastic day with my family/family friends.

I thought I'd post some of the photos from throughout the day, bare with me - there are A LOT of photos!

sorry about the huge amount of photographs. I took over 300 throughout the day and narrowing it down to this amount was such a struggle for me.

tell me what you think of the photos?
