Maggie Sottero and Pretty Pink Peonies for a Soft, Romantic, Summer Wedding…

Hi everyone, hope you're enjoying the 'Summer', now it seems to finally have arrived! Here's a wedding that took place on a beautiful bright day – to get you in the spirit. These photographs were sent in by photographer Ellie Gillard.

Tim and Carys Anderson tied the knot on 7 July this year at All Hallows Church in Liverpool, followed by a reception held at Frontline Centre in Liverpool – a church that both their families attend.

"Carys and Tim's wedding was a delight to photograph, cute details, a beautiful dress and a gorgeous couple always make me very happy…."
