A Beautiful Handfasting Wedding Celebration at a Family Farm in Shropshire
Some weddings are memorable because of the venue, others because of the people. Liz and Jonny's beautiful celebration combined both. After legally marrying during the pandemic, they gathered their closest family and friends at the groom's family farm in rural Shropshire for an unforgettable celebrant-led ceremony on a tiny island, complete with a traditional handfasting. It was relaxed, heartfelt and full of genuine moments that perfectly reflected who they are.
