Wedding Day Perfection at Rivervale Barn

Richard and Victoria had their wedding at the amazing Rivervale Barn with its fabulous interiors...

...and stunning gardens. But it also had the most fantastic bridal prep room with lovely decor...

 ...and plenty of space for all Victoria's bridesmaids to get ready...

...as well as providing a great backdrop for photographs of Victoria...

...and her bridesmaids.

The Rivervale courtyard was a magnificent route for the bridal procession to make their way to the ceremony... 

...until they noticed some late-arriving guests, and they all hid behind a convenient bush in accordance with ancient wedding traditions.

But after this tiniest of hitches the rest of the day went like clockwork, starting with bridesmaids lining up for their entrance into the ceremony...they looked absolutely fantastic, from head...

...to toes. 

 Victoria and her Dad then processed up the aisle to where Richard was waiting for her.

After the ceremony, we took photographs of Richard and Victoria around the fantastic grounds and gardens of Rivervale.

There were so many places to photograph touching moments...

 ...including this iconic red oriental bridge, and in Chinese weddings, red represents good luck. Perfect!

Later we did some photographs with them in the courtyard...

...which definitely had a southern European feel.

 But this gate was wonderfully English.

And then it was back into the barn for their First Dance as Man and Wife.

Rivervale Barn is a glorious venue both inside and out. Richard and Victoria and her bridesmaids all looked magnificent. The staff were wonderful and the guests were great. Add to this the fact that the weather was perfect...and it becomes difficult to imagine a wedding day more perfect for a lovely young couple to start their life together.
