I ran out of space trying to come up with the right title for this blog post.
To truly do Jade & Thomas’ day justice the title should be:
Jade & Thomas' Beautiful, Autumnal, Halloween Themed, Fully Vegan and Covid-19 Safe Wedding Day at Whirlowbrook Hall
Amidst all the disappointment and heartbreak of 2020, Jade and Thomas managed to carve out a beautiful, intimate wedding celebration on the day they always intended to get married, which happened to be the anniversary of their first date.
They do still intend to have a ‘proper’ wedding day next year once they are allowed to have all their friends and family in attendance, so with all being well this is only part one for these two.
For me it was great to be back at Whirlowbrook Hall, almost 2 years since I was here last for Amarise and Mike’s Christmas themed wedding.
I must say I was very impressed with how the staff at Whirlowbrook Hall had managed to maintain excellent service levels despite current restrictions.
This was even more impressive to me when I realise it was only actually one person running pretty much everything front of house, with a skeleton kitchen crew making the food. Having worked in hotels before myself I would never underestimate what a huge amount of effort went into the running of the day.
For me, having not photographed a full wedding day since March, a clear 7 months prior to today, it was a true return to form. Yes there were only 11 guests, and they couldn’t sing or dance, this was still a heck of a wedding day.
Not just a great Covid-19 safe wedding day, a great wedding day by any standard.
And of course it rained for most of the day, so there was some normality at least.
