Karen and James enjoyed a weekend retreat wedding at Doxford Hall, they and most of their guests stayed and took advantage of the lovely facilities at Doxford over the weekend of their wedding. This wedding was so full of love and laughter and it shines through in the pictures.

Karen made sure that she used local suppliers like Jodi Lamb for the makeup, Charlie from The Salon for hair and Buds the florists from Tweedmouth.

I was really impressed by the cake maker who painted the wedding cake to Karen’s bespoke design in the morning, that must be a scary job!

The weather was not ideal for family group photographs outside (remember storm Dennis? yeah, that.) but we did manage a very quick group photo with everyone from the daytime, brave people.

The Kennedy Suite at Doxford is a huge hall so you can’t really tell here but there were about 250 guests in the evening and every one of them really knew how to party! So so many friends!!
