Zoe and Steve | Martinborough Wedding Photography | Style Me Pretty

Zoe and Steve were married in Martinborough on a beautiful day, at Zoe’s parent’s house. Clients often ask me what my favorite venue is to photograph, and by a country mile, it’s your backyard. I love the story and history, the beautiful touches that represent family life, just everything about photographing a wedding that takes place at home.

Zoe and Steve were no exception, their day was filled with love, laughter and a whole of happiness. Their backyard may or may not have included a pond with a row boat and Zoe may or may not have been kick ass and gotten into it in her wedding dress for some photos.

This wedding was first featured on Style Me Pretty.
