A Summer Wedding Morning (With Actual Sun!)
In a rare turn of events, Katie and Paul's August wedding date happned to actually be sunny!
With all the windows open and hand fans at the ready, the girls started getting ready at the Marriott Country Club in Worsley, just down the road from the venue.
Eve Mulligan and Grace Moore were there doing their hair and make-up. Katie opted for a beautiful bridal plait with a hair vine to add some sparkle.
The room was bustling with excitment as everyone had their finishing touches done before packing up and getting ready to leave for the wedding venue, The Barn at Morleys Hall.
A Traditional Barn Wedding Venue in Manchester
The Barn at Morleys Hall is an impressive traditonal barn wedding venue near Tyldesley, Manchester.
A former agricultural building built around the 1850's, this huge space wouldn't be an obvious choice for an initmate wedding.
But, the venue really help make it feel cosy within the open plan setting. The dark wood and fairy lights really add to it too.
The couple make use of the mezzanine area later on but for the morning, the girls used it to get ready and keep out of the way as guests began to arrive.
An Intimate Barn at Morleys Hall Wedding Ceremony
Then it was time to get our cameras in position for their intimate wedding ceremony in the barn.
Paul waited nervously with his Groomsmen in their matching light brown tweed three-piece suits.
Katie was then walked down the aisle by her Dad and Grandad with most of their guests wiping tears away!
But they were soon laughing as her Grandad managed to stand on her wedding dress.
