Whimsical Beatles Themed Wedding | Aberthau Mansion

What a beautiful life!
On the way to the wedding ceremony I admittedly broke down and cried, after watching her get ready, overwhelmed thinking about how it must be fate that Katie & Andrew had met.
Out of a universe formed out an exploding star, these two souls made from stardust, (literally, made from atoms that came from the stars, which over billions of years evolved into intelligent life capable of love and compassion) found each other, again. Not just on this planet, or even galaxy. But within this ever expanding universe. The thought just blew my mind. How could it just be chance? How could it not be destiny written in the stars? Our purpose in life? To love. It’s undeniable.

On the surface weddings can seem superficial, expensive cakes and shoes, opulent bouquets and jewelry, lavish food and drinks, music and dresses and suits and all of the other excess. To some they are just an unnecessary waste of money. But when I really stop to think of it – is there anything more worth celebrating than love?
In a world of suffering, is there a better reason to bring people together than to celebrate love? Seeing these two surrounded by love in every facet of their lives was incredible. Friends snuggling their babies on the lawn, parents reconnecting with old friends, relatives meeting new relatives and laughing together over pie and coffee, new friendships forming in the photobooth.

Katie & Andrew had a most adorable and whimsical Beatles themed wedding at Aberthau Mansion.  One trend (if you can call it that) Im digging is couples who really make their wedding their own, by infusing it with elements that reflect their personalities and relationship. I don’t know if it was the sparkly dinosaurs, the wedding party celebrating the recessional to the Beatles “All You Need is Love” or shooting portraits in the same vintage car that Katie’s parents stood in front of on their wedding day, but all of the details from their wedding just represented them so well. Everywhere you looked you got a sense of them, and in turn all of the guests seemed so connected all day and there was just a feeling of magic in the air all around Aberthau.

It was just awe inspiring. I am so grateful to have been a witness to it all.

It is without doubt fate, that I have come to photograph weddings, if nothing else, just be regularly reminded that all you need is love.

Congrats Andrew & Katie! Much love to you both.
