Family friendly wedding at Nunsmere

Kate and Mark with little Eva — their wedding is all the more amazing for the family focus of the day

This wedding is a treat, and all the more special for a very special little flower girl, daughter of the bride and groom and the star of the show. She’s adorable and clearly loving her mum & dad’s wedding celebrations.

Bride Kate is absolutely beautiful, and she and Mark make a striking couple. Their photographs (by Chris Hanley) are exquisite, combining dramatic scenes, romance and emotion, and some fantastic fun shots around the venue.

Kate and Mark were married on the 10th of July, and had their wedding reception in a marquee at Nunsmere Hall.

Setting the scene for the day: a little bride teddy bear…

… and a matching little groom teddy! So cute!

I love how the jewellery is arranged, and the candles and flowers make this so gorgeous!

Delicate bridal jewellery on display — Kate’s necklace and earring set is really pretty

Flower girl accessories and bridesmaid bouquets — isn’t teddy lovely (and helpful, carrying all that stuff)!

The cute little flower girl dress next to hand– and footprints from when she was even littler

Kate’s wedding dress has a diamante encrusted bodice which sparkles beautifully, and a luxurious full skirt

Sparkling crystal bridal tiara with flower patterns and pearls

The bridesmaids and flower girl — little Eva takes centre stage!

Mark waits so nervously for his bride! You can feel the excitement in this picture.

Kate and Mark’s wedding was at St Chad’s church in Cheadle, Cheshire.

Here comes the bride… I love the lady behind admiring Kate’s dress

… and they’re married! I love this photo for all the little details and the height of the camera

Kate and Mark share some champagne on the wheel arch of the wedding car!

The stunning venue behind Kate and Mark is Nunsmere Hall. It’s one of Cheshire’s top luxury hotels — and we have a few! — an Edwardian House in the beautiful Delamere forest. There’ll be a blog post all about Nunsmere Hall coming very soon (with more photos from Chris Hanley Photography).

The Chris Hanley experience… pure, beautiful luxury

I think this is such a wonderful picture of little Eva — so cute, so determined! I love a toddler on a mission!
