Brooke + Mark: a timeless wedding

Brooke and Mark’s wedding day theme was inspired by the venue, and funnily enough, the very name of the bride’s dress, “Palace Garden”. They wanted a celebration that was laidback yet elegant, and one that encompassed all the wedding traditions that they hold so dear. In fact, they went to great lengths to ensure that ALL traditions were adhered to … “My first thought seeing Mark on the wedding day was one of ‘OH NO!’ The Bridal party had arrived 15 minutes early to the church as we hoped to beat the thunderstorm which was threatening to break. And because I’m never on time to anything, the entire groom’s party were only just making their way into the church when the bridal cars pulled up. Thankfully, our amazing photographers shielded the car so Mark couldn’t see me before the wedding. But the sight of six men in tuxedos running in fear across the grass was pretty funny,” shares Brooke. Scroll down to see how their day came together, with photography by Mark and Kara.
