A Braisty Estate Wedding in the Woods | Michelle and Graham
FESTOON IS MY NEW FAVOURITE WORD
Wow you guys had better be ready for some pure wind swept magic because we are going back into the woods with the incredible Michelle & Graham in their enchantingly beautiful Braisty Estate wedding.
From bespoke hand made signage by the grooms awesome graphical talents. To a Yorkshire woodland wedding ceremony as the ethereal sunlight drifted through Summer greens. What better way is there to say your "I do's" than sharing a beer amidst such an atmospheric place as the Braisty Estate. Unfortunately as far as I know this wedding venue has since stopped functioning. But that doesn’t stop me sharing one of the most incredible woodland weddings I have ever photographed.
Right there by the teepees as the darkness drew close. There was a choreographed first dance to end all first dances. Limbo dancers cast their noses to the skies. Hula hoops were spun & love was made beneath swinging festoons. Don't miss the awesome best man speech challenge either. Where guests were put to the task of trying to get an after eight mint in their mouths from their foreheads without using their hands.
As sparklers lit up the skies of this little pocket of Yorkshire country side. The world dissapeared for a moment for Graham & Michelle. For in the momentary fires was a long embrace that would echo accross the hills for ever more.
Here's to these two & a magic that will never fade.

As soon as I arrived the awesome venue manager gave me the grand tour of This Green Moon telling me about MAGICAL little monsters that lived there and endowing me with a special bracelet. I mean that was probably the GREATEST wedding venue intro I've ever had to be fair.
