A beautifully rain-kissed lakeside wedding.

On the 24th of July 2024, Paige and Mitch celebrated their love in a picturesque lakeside wedding at Stanford Farm in Shropshire. Despite the slightly wet weather, the day was filled with warmth, joy, and unforgettable moments.

The theme of the wedding was inspired by the tranquil beauty of Stanford's lakeside scenery, which was perfectly reflected in the serene surroundings of Stanford Farm. The gentle rain added a romantic touch, enhancing the intimate and cosy atmosphere of the day.
