Kelly and Richard had a wonderful spring wedding day surrounded by their family and friends. The weather remained dry throughout the day, so David from Image Control Photography was able to capture some lovely photos of them in the Gardens at Parklands.
Kelly and Richard had a civil ceremony at Parklands, Kelly wore a beautiful white traditional dress, their day had cerise theme, the bridesmaids wore fully length cerise dress, and the best man and ushers had cerise ties, the flower girls looked wonderful in their stunning white dresses with cerise flowers, so despite the overcast day, it was a very bright fun day.
