A Village Hall Wedding at Wintringham.
On a beautiful day at the end of June, I had the pleasure of photographing a truly special wedding in North Yorkshire. Toni and Luke, who have been together for over 12 years, tied the knot in a wonderfully laid-back and joyous celebration that perfectly reflected their personalities. With their two sons, Louis and Oliver, by their side, they embarked on a day filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments.
A Proposal to Remember
Luke proposed to Toni during their first holiday as a family of four at Center Parcs. This heartfelt moment set the stage for the wedding they would later plan—one that was all about good vibes, family, and fun. From the outset, Toni and Luke envisioned a chilled and relaxed day, and that’s precisely what they achieved.
Vintage Transport on your Wedding Day, The Journey Begins
Choosing to get married at the York Registry Office added a touch of adventure to their day. To make the journey between the ceremony and the reception at Wintringham Village Hall memorable, they hired a vintage double-decker bus. This charming mode of transport was a hit with guests of all ages, especially the kids. The bus ride not only provided a unique and fun experience but also gave everyone the chance to mingle and share in the excitement of the day.
Wedding Flowers with a Splash of Summer Colors
Toni and Luke opted for a vibrant summer palette for their wedding, with no set colour scheme except for the pink bridesmaids' dresses and ties. Leoni, their florist, was given the freedom to create bright, beautiful arrangements that captured the essence of the season. The result was a stunning display of florals that added a cheerful and lively atmosphere to the celebration.
Flexibility and Fun on your Wedding Day
By choosing York Registry Office for the ceremony and Wintringham Village Hall for the reception, Toni and Luke were able to enjoy the flexibility they wanted. This allowed them to bring in their preferred caterers, offering a relaxed buffet followed by a pizza oven supper. The casual dining setup encouraged guests to relax and enjoy the festivities at their own pace.
Embracing Their True Selves
One of the most refreshing aspects of Toni and Luke's wedding was their decision to forgo traditional wedding formalities. They chose not to have speeches or a first dance, preferring instead to let their day unfold naturally and comfortably. This approach made the celebration feel even more personal and special, as it truly reflected who they are as a couple.
Breaking the Mould on Your Wedding Day
Toni and Luke's wedding was a beautiful reminder that there is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to celebrating love. By breaking the mould and doing things their way, they created a day that was uniquely theirs. It was an honour to capture the moments of their wedding, from the heartfelt ceremony to the lively reception, and to witness the genuine happiness they shared with their family and friends.
Congratulations, Toni and Luke! Your wedding day was a testament to the power of love, individuality, and the joy of celebrating in your own way. Here's to many more years of happiness together!
