Faith & Harlen’s wedding at Ecclesall Woods Discovery Centre in Sheffield was a true celebration of love, laughter, and vibrant colours, set against the backdrop of a perfect summer’s day.
The day began with an air of excitement as family and friends gathered to witness the couple exchange their heartfelt vows. Faith’s parents, showcasing their creative touch, had handcrafted the bridal bouquet with care and detail, adding a personal, sentimental layer to the ceremony. And it didn’t stop there—Faith herself poured her heart into the day, designing and baking a colourful cake that became a stunning centrepiece, and curating the table decorations that added a splash of uniqueness to the venue.
After the ceremony, the celebration shifted to one of the day’s most memorable moments—the confetti line. This was no ordinary shower of petals; it was a deluge of colour, bucket loads thrown with abandon, creating a kaleidoscopic scene that made for some truly epic photographs. As confetti rained down, Faith and Harlen beamed with joy, surrounded by the love of their guests.
When it came time for the speeches, they did not disappoint. Full of humour and heartfelt moments, the toasts had everyone laughing and tearing up in equal measure. With spirits high and smiles wide, I took the opportunity to whisk the newlyweds away for a quiet walk through Ecclesall Woods. Bathed in the warm glow of the setting sun, the couple strolled hand in hand, their happiness radiating with every step.
As the day wound down, I managed to capture a few more portraits using the unique architecture of the Discovery Centre as a backdrop. The warm, earthy tones of the building and the soft light of early evening made for a stunning contrast, highlighting the love and connection between Faith and Harlen.
This wedding was a testament to the power of personal touches and the joy that comes from celebrating with loved ones. Faith and Harlen, thank you for allowing me to be part of your beautiful day. Wishing you a lifetime of happiness, colour, and love—just as vivid as your incredible wedding day.
