Mark & Lana at The Kings Head in Cirencester

Mark and Lana's wedding was a wedding with a little twist! During their wedding ceremony their young son was also christened, so it was a day of celebration not only for Mark and Lana but young Ryder too!

Mark and Lana were married at Siddington Church on the 20th July 2019 - it was a beautiful sunny day. Friends and family travelled from all over to celebrate the wedding and christening with them, with Lana's family travelling the furthest from Australia to enjoy the special occasion.

Mark and Lana prepared for the wedding together with family at their home, the house was buzzing with excitement when we arrived. Once everybody was dressed, a few photos were taken before Mark made his way to the church to greet their guests. Guests were soon seated and awaited the arrival of the bride. Lana made her entrance with her Dad by her side and the biggest smile upon her face as she walked down the aisle.

The Ceremony was lovely to witness with Mark and Lana smiling throughout - you could see just how happy they were as they said their vows. There were a few readings from a close friend and Lana's sister and once the register was signed it was time for Ryder's Christening to begin. It's not very often we photograph a Christening and Wedding at the same time but it was such a lovely occasion. Outside the Church everybody was chatting, laughing and congratulating the newlyweds. The atmosphere was so enjoyable as you could clearly see the happiness of these guys tying the knot!

Siddington Church is such a lovely church and made a wonderful backdrop for the photos. We made the most of the backdrop and took a combination of family photos and portraits of the newlyweds before we all headed to The Kings Head Hotel in Cirencester for the wedding celebrations.

The guests continued to enjoy the beautiful sunshine on the terrace while enjoying a glass of bubbles and listening to the wonderful sounds of Delores. As the afternoon gave way to the evening, it was time for the Bride, Groom and guests to be seated for the wedding breakfast and speeches.

The wedding breakfast took place is the Assembly room - a beautiful room with high ceilings and gorgeous chandeliers. The room was dressed beautifully with special lighting, flowers and candles. Once everybody had finished their meal and laughing at the speeches, it was time to make their way to the vaulted cellar for the evening entertainment.

The newlyweds were first on the dance floor for their first dance and they were soon joined by friends and family.

What a beautiful wedding, that we are so honoured to have been apart of.
