    Behind the Scenes

    Our notes from the day.

    Natalie and Jake's wedding was a family day through and through, and you could feel it from the first hour. The morning started at home with a surprise: Natalie's dad was blindfolded and walked through the house, then the blindfold came off and there she was in her dress. Hayden filmed it while Aaron photographed it, so they have that moment on film and in photographs. From there it was on to Henfield Hall, with the ceremony outside in the sunshine and the meal, speeches and party inside.

    Aaron loved how family-oriented the whole day was, and the atmosphere that came with it. For Hayden it was the speeches. They were so heartfelt, some of them were incredibly funny, and he really enjoyed capturing everyone's reaction as each one landed.
