Elegant rainy wedding at Le Belvedere in Wakefield

Le Belvedere wedding in Wakefield

You might remember Rebecca and Mike’s gorgeous engagement session at the bride’s parents’ farm house last spring! This gorgeous pair got married at Le Belvedere in Wakefield in September on one of the rainiest days we had all summer. It poured all day long. While the weather was less than ideal, the bride and groom were such great sports! They trekked out into the rain with umbrellas, smiles on their faces, ready to say “I do”!

Despite the rain, it was such a great day! Rebecca and Mike’s family and friends were all genuinely so happy for this gorgeous couple. Le Belvedere was decorated to the nines. The flowers from Bloomfields were stunning. The bridesmaids’ dresses from J Crew went perfectly with the groomsmens’ suits from Surmesur. The 5 course meal was impeccable. The speeches were heartfelt and full of humour. Most importantly, the bride and groom were just happy to be surrounded by their nearest and dearest.

Our day started off at the Belvedere guest house! So so beautiful!

The couple opted to do a first look. Because of the rain, we set them up on the porch of the guest house. With rain drops falling, it made for the perfect setting!
