It's the end of the summer season and the sunshine was being kind by hanging around a little longer. We were on the Wirral for Ida & Josh's intimate ceremony at Ness Botanical Gardens for an afternoon full of long awaited smiles and laughter.


Ida & Josh had waited for this day since before the worldwide lockdown and wanted a day that was relaxed and intimate for all of their friends and family to enjoy. Ida looked incredible in her traditional white dress with Chinese styled jewellery and made the untraditional approach of having zero bridesmaids and a solo walk down the aisle through the scenic gardens.


Josh was full of welcoming hugs and emotion from the first minute - you could tell that he'd been waiting a long time for this day and it was SO worth the wait. His reaction when he first sees Ida in her dress was what weddings are all about!


Guests spent their time mingling and sipping on Pims in the late September sunshine. It was such a beautiful day, which was topped off with the most beautiful evening filled with awesome food, music and dancing!
