Robyn & Iain’s Wedding 28 05 23

Today we headed out to the ancient technology centre https://ancienttechnologycentre.com/ to photograph Robyn & Iain’s wedding party.

The couple had tied the knot a few months earlier in New Zealand so today was a celebration of the couple’s marriage and a chance for family and friends to get together and celebrate.

As a couple of archaeologists what better venue for a wedding party. A traditional working medieval village complete with its own earth house.

We photographed a few family images then we set up the lighting kit inside the earth house to photograph the newlyweds together.

Robyn & Iain had made all the amazing evening food, which included a rather cheeky Lemon drop chilli spicy chocolate frog and an incredible Dragon wedding cake, which was so good it was a shame to slice up!
