The reception is at Adcote School, which I love, because I'm such a kid at heart and it reminds me of Hogwarts. But not as scary, obviously.






Before we even start, let's just clear something up. Rachael is gorgeous. Am I right? Course I am. Rich is always Right. Rich is rarely wrong too!






There are some great gardens and grounds to explore for photos later, I'm really excited about that part!










Steve's a natural too. I think he looks right at ease here!





Aha! Then I asked very nicely if we should take some photos with Steve and Rachael's sexy little car. They're so damn cool they didn't say no!





Finally we stopped off at Oxon church for a look around. I can't wait to be back here for the big day!









Oh cute!

Helen being laced up by her sweet Mum Diane and her bridesmaid Vicky. Yes, Vicky is in her pyjamas - her dress was not that colour.






Imposing? Certainly.






The ceremony was held in the beautiful saloon, with natural window light streaming in from the front.









Beautiful.



Tim and Helen celebrated their marriage with a humanist ceremony conducted by Victoria Denning, Humanist Celebrant. I have to admit I'd never given a thought to what humanism was before, but Victoria emailed me a copy of Tim and Helen's utterly bespoke and highly personalised wedding ceremony before the day, and it was lovely to then see that ceremony fulfilled in front of me.

If like lots of couples these days, you're not religious but would really love something meaningful, spiritual and personal, give Victoria a call and ask her what it's all about! She's also just really nice to talk to.






Joining the few portraits already on the grand staircase!






Tim and Helen are popular!






They've invested in some crazy-beautiful light at Hagley, see?




















Down in the cellar bar for the evening celebrations and first dance! Thank you Tim and Helen for making my job look easy (yeah, 'thanks'. Lol!) I don't think I took a single bad photo of you guys, you looked lovely together and it was such a great day. :-)

The fashion show was lots of fun, and we even got the girls back on stage to take some more pictures afterwards for their burgeoning modelling careers!
