You guys. This wedding. Was so BEAUTIFUL.
Not just because they are ridiculously good looking (seriously, Saf is a total babe!)
It was the HEART and the undercurrent of love that was oh-so very present throughout the day. It was the TEARS. So many tears. All day. Everywhere you looked. Including my face. It was the prayers, the hugs, the laughter. It was the dance floor that heated up quickly. It was the family - newly joined, but perfectly blended. It was perfection.
When Saf's mum Amber got in touch a few months back to see if I was available I was super excited. I've worked with this family before, when Saf's sister Georgia married her love Dylan last year. I knew that I was in for another gorgeous emotional wedding, where tears flowed freely and hugs are given out like Oprah gave out cars (reference for the oldy's like me out there). And let me tell ya. It did not disappoint. These people are wonderful and kind and so full of love that I want to be adopted into their family (whilst still remaining in mine of course - love ya mum!)
Mishael & Saffron are young love personified. They are perfect for each other and even if they didn't have the amazing support system that they have with their family and friends, I have no doubt at all that they have what it takes to make each other happy for the rest of their lives.
Enjoy this little sneak peek from their wedding. xx
