Gemma & Simon

Gemma and Simon's wedding ceremony took place in a tiny chapel (which is a family tradition), and was followed by a blessing and reception in a fabulous marquee at Gemma's parents farm.  The weather was glorious and Gemma and SImon are such an adorable couple, what more can you ask for?!

Some pretty details
