October Weddings - Viv & Paul

Viv & Paul were married recently in York. The wedding venue was The Treasurer's House - a National Trust building standing literally in the shadow of York Minster. ior me, it doesn't get much better than this- I simply love York and all it has to offer. 

Viv & Paul's wedding was different to most - no Bridesmaids, Best Man or speeches; simply a relaxed go-with-the-flow day with a lovely family party atmosphere. All I knew was the ceremony was at 2pm, and Viv's preps were next door at Grays Court around 9am...the whole day was to be live and natural.

Here are a few of my favourites from the day...

Music for the ceremony and afternoon reception was beautifully provided by a duo playing authentic medieval instruments - no Elbow or Snow Patrol this afternoon... ;-)

 

The couple and myself went walkabout for fifteen minutes, around the Minster and surrounding streets - all very quick and 'painless'. Viv got to play, plus show off the forty-year old family heirloom veil...

 

After a an afternoon buffet, accompanied by real ales , champagne and wine, it was time to retire next door at Gray's Court - to the mellow tunes of a superb jazz quartet.
