⚡️ I'D LIKE YOU TO CRADLE THAT LOG LIKE A NEW BORN BABY ⚡️
Last week I was back at The Normans, one of my all time fav venues with the unreal Liam & Dan. For starters, these two humans were such a breath of fresh air, every last moment of the 5 hours I was with them was so jam packed with magic, laughs & all out frickin fun. For starters just look how absolutely badass they look. That Prada Bolo was a personal highlight, but meeting their dog Pan was the cherry on the barn based cake. YES!
A little slice of getting ready goodness & we snuck off for a secret ceremony with just Liam & Dan's parents in attendance. There was their ring bearing dog Pan too. Who during the ceremony managed to open a door & bu**er off half way through 😂 With Pan restrained & a registrar spending the entire ceremony guarding the door from dog based chaos, these two said their I do's in such a beaut intimate secret ceremony.
Right after that I snuck out with Dan & Liam to make some epic portraits in & around the Normans barns. Honestly I will never tire of the killer light in these spaces. I'm always pretty excited to see what's in the Normans barns as every time it's something different. This time a load of chopped wood became a backdrop for frickin love as we ogled at combine harvesters & chased that Yorkshire autumnal light.
Portraits paved the way for another ceremony with all Dan & Liam's fam & friends in attendance. Their pal stopped proceedings to surprise everyone that the couple were already married before carrying out a proper ceremony of their own. Sheesh the moment when Pan got involved with the ring exchange was just adorable. After that we shot some groups before I took the wedding party back in the barns for some quirky fun. The words "I'd like you to cradle that log like a new born baby" might have made an appearance & holy s**t did these guys deliver. Had such a laugh making magic for these guys.
To top it all off, When we headed into the Normans barn their reception was interrupted by many many cowboy hats with a frickin line dancing flash mob. YES! Soooo many guests had learned the dance to Robert Palmers Addicted to Love. Hats got thrown, moves were busted & their was just enough time to grab some photos of the speeches before I said my goodbyes.
Give me 20 weddings exactly like this a year & I would be a very happy man indeed. Massive love to Dan & Liam for such an epic day XO
