When your wedding has been postponed.

In the light of the global Covid-19 pandemic.

It felt like our own private woodland and was just lovely. Lauren and Ollie are such a fun and positive couple and have not let the fact that their wedding day has been postponed put a dampener on their wedding plans or stopped their excitement.

The way they see it, it's a way to extend their celebrations further rather than just press pause and their local community really came together to help them celebrate. Gifts were left on their doorstep, their neighbours popped bottles of champagne with them from outside their homes while friends and family drove by to shout their well wishes and throw confetti from a safe social distance.
