February 27th was a beautiful day. The early spring weather was warm and sunny but what made it truly special was the elopement of Berry and Jane.
It was an honor to be a part of this beautiful, musical, and emotional event. No detail was over looked, Jane put tremendous thought into every aspect of the ceremony and afternoon tea. From the traditional Scottish engravings in their rings, to Berry's family tartan used for her bouquet and his boutonniere, to the friends used for vendors, and to the song choices - it all had meaning to this loving couple.
It was clear that and Berry adored one another. Their smiles were radiant and their laughter filled the atrium of The Rectory just as much as the music. Oh and the music, a string quartet, a piano, and a vocal soloist - all performed with absolute perfection.
To have this musical elopement in The Rectory on Princess - it was like our previous styled shoot came to life, it was like it was meant to be. Berry and Jane took time before walking down the aisle together to sit and listen to the quartet. Their ceremony was lovingly performed by a close friend, as another friend sang for them with piano accompaniment.
Following a few photos in The Rectory's intimate garden, Berry and Jane returned to the the atrium for high tea.
Berry's son and two grandchildren joined them and they were able to Facetime with Berry's daughter in England. This enchanting morning came to a close and everyone left with hearts full of love and music.
