Cutting the cake – I’ve included this picture to show you the photograph on the table next to the wedding cake: Emma and Duncan relive an age-old family tradition. This is a really sweet idea to include on your wedding day.

Some lovely wedding photographs taken near Clifton Suspension Bridge. Emma and Duncan had a marquee wedding reception in the grounds of Burwalls which is a university building just near the famous bridge.
