After their wedding (view here) Mark and Liz joined their wedding guests for the reception held in the idyllic surroundings of the Cockliffe Country House Hotel & Restaurant. They opted for a canopy and tent which gave the images a beautiful diffused light. The weather held up well, which in turn meant we could all enjoy the grounds both before, during and after the reception. We had covered portraits at the church but opted for a few more inside Cockliffe as well.

Beautiful roses

Very pretty wedding cake

Table settings looked perfect. The gold star is a sparkler.

Feeling hungry already

Guest books are always important to read through in the years to come.

The food at the Cockliffe was great.

Sparklers…do not tell health and safety!
