Lily & Nathan here is your sneak peek!⚡️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ WOW…. This is a wedding I won’t be forgetting in a hurry for all the right reasons! 🔥 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ These two really brought the energy and the vibe was unreal!

I’m here for that all day long, so don’t miss that pic! @katieobriensharrogate offering the perfect backdrop! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thank you both for trusting my vision for the other photos, you absolutely smashed it! I loved being a part of your day!
