Liane and Mike’s wedding at Hazlewood Castle
I thought today for a change, I’ll let the groom’s sister in law tell the story of this wedding… She obviously knows the couple a lot better than I do AND she was photographing with me throughout the day. (She did the bridal prep, while I stayed with Michael. You see, ‘Dolly’ is a talented [...]
