There’s something magical about an autumn wedding, and Meg & Bradlee’s day at The Upper House in Barlaston had all the cozy charm you could ask for.

The morning kicked off in the bridal suite, where Meg and her bridesmaids were surrounded by laughter, music, and plenty of fizz — bottles were popping and spirits were high. Meanwhile, the groomsmen rolled in a little later, settling into the library room with cool beers and laid-back banter.

As guests took their seats, anticipation filled the air. Meg, a bundle of nerves and excitement, made her way down the aisle to Bradlee — who couldn’t help but get a little emotional seeing his bride.

After the ceremony, the couple surprised everyone with the sweetest announcement: they’re expecting a baby Royall! Cue the cheers and happy tears.

The wedding breakfast was followed by speeches full of laughter and cheeky jokes about Bradlee, keeping the mood light and joyful. One of the venue’s rescue cats even joined the party, happily soaking up attention from guests.

Instead of a traditional cake-cutting moment, Meg & Bradlee went for a chocolate brownie tower — a delicious twist that suited their relaxed vibe perfectly. And to top it all off, their first dance was sung live by best man Jake, guitar in hand, making it a truly personal and unforgettable moment.

This wedding was full of heart, laughter, and little surprises — the kind of day that reminds you why I love capturing love stories and I feel so lucky to have captured it all. Thank you so much for having me! xx
