The Delicate & Seriously Elegant Wedding Day of Tina & Ben at The Great Hall at Mains
This is such a stunning wedding, so perfectly planned, beautifully thought out, exquisitely put together with a delicate touch, the lovely Tina and her equally lovely Mum Lucia and I have had a plethora of creative appointments, I am really going to miss them, I was so thrilled with this wedding that it brought a tear to my eye when I saw the lovely Tina walking up the aisle, I hope you'll enjoy it as much as we did dear reader....
