Well. It feels like an eternity that Vernon and Baryl have been waiting for this blog post already, and over the past while that I’ve been editing these images and reminiscing about this wedding, it’s just washed over me again and again what a truly glorious day it was. Every detail was perfect, unforgettable and unique, and I just can’t think of anyone other than Baryl who could have merged high glamour and country style weddings together the way she did this one. Roosters and black diamonds. Hay bales and glitter. Relaxed and elegant … the perfect combination of but a few of the qualities both Vernon and Baryl possess. I’m beyond excited to share these pictures today, and I’m emotional as I proof them for the last time before going live. This couples raw emotion (with both the bride and groom shedding a tear before the evening was through) was touching to witness and a reminder again of why we all come together on special days such as this. Weddings have always been and will always be one of the single greatest miracles any one of us can witness or live in this life and I’m sure all of you will simply love witnessing this one!! All my love, Claire xxx
