Unforgettable Moments | Ciara & Liam's Emotional Whitley Hall Wedding | 11.04.24

From the first moment I met Ciara and Liam during their pre-wedding shoot and coffee chat, I knew they were my kind of people. Down-to-earth, loving, and unassuming, they always put everyone else first. From the moment I arrived at Whitley Hall on their wedding day, I could feel the air brimming with emotion.

Ciara was visibly nervous, already worrying about everyone else and striving for perfection. The morning at Whitley Hall was spent with the final touches of hair and makeup. The mother of the bride seemed just as nervous as her daughter. It took her dad's calming presence to steady and ground them both. The absence of music was a blessing in disguise; the soothing sound of running water outside created a tranquil backdrop for the morning preparations.

The first look between Ciara and her dad was a moment to remember. As soon as she was ready, the sight of his daughter in her stunning wedding dress brought him to tears, a poignant start to an unforgettable day.

The ceremony was set outdoors, bathed in the warmth of a stunningly sunny and warm day. Liam, the nervous groom, eagerly awaited his bride. The procession began with the stunning arrival of the mother of the bride, followed by the two beautiful bridesmaids – Ciara's best friends. Finally, Ciara appeared, arm in arm with her dad, looking absolutely breathtaking in her dress.

Every detail of the ceremony was perfect. The outdoor setting at Whitley Hall provided a beautiful and intimate backdrop, making the moment even more magical. You could see the love and anticipation in Liam’s eyes as Ciara walked down the aisle, her dress flowing gracefully with each step.

The ceremony was followed by group photos under the blazing sun. Despite the heat, Ciara's super organised approach made my job a dream. After the group shots, I whisked Ciara and Liam away for their couple photos, which were a much-needed break for Ciara to take it all in. It was the perfect time for them to connect and enjoy their first moments as husband and wife.

The speeches were a rollercoaster of emotions. Ciara's dad delivered heartfelt words that brought tears to everyone's eyes. Liam, overwhelmed with emotion, struggled to keep his tears in check during his speech. The three best men, who had known Liam since childhood, shared touching and funny anecdotes that added to the emotional atmosphere.

During the meal, the couple's attention to detail shone through. A super talented harpist played throughout, creating a serene and elegant ambiance.

As the evening unfolded, the dance floor came alive with energy. Guests danced the night away, creating a lively and joyous atmosphere. A standout moment was when Liam missed his favourite song, "Love Story" by Taylor Swift. Not one to miss out on serenading his bride, the DJ graciously replayed it, and Liam took the opportunity to sing to Ciara, making it a truly unforgettable highlight of the night.

Stay tuned for more moments from Ciara & Liam's wedding at Whitley Hall – a day filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories.
