Le Petit Chateau - a dreamy wedding destination that we simply can't get enough of, and today we're sharing with you the celebration of Alison and Dean, captured beautifully by Michael Southwick Photography. The couple's overall wedding plan was just to host a celebration where everyone could come together, enjoy themselves and take away wonderful memories.

"We initially found the venue on the internet while looking for somewhere different. We went to visit and once we were shown around we fell in love with the place and knew nowhere else could match up to this and booked it straight away. When we booked the venue was just taking off but I believe it has quickly become very popular! I would recommend Le Petit Chateau to future brides, it was a perfect day and the staff and venue made it so easy."

"When we first decided to get married Dean and his friends (who think they are kings of the karaoke) talked about singing at the wedding, so I took them at their word and persuaded them it would be a good idea to do it for me! After many shaky rehearsals at the best man's home they managed to keep it a secret from me and performed for me on the night, singing Brown Eyed Girl with the band backing on the music. They call themselves The Saga Boys because they are all over 50!"

The whole day captured by the talented Michael Southwick, "Michael was recommended by Joy from First Glance, in Sunderland."

What was your highlight of the day?
"Every minute of it!"
