“I had a lot of highlights from my special day, but my main one was that I got to marry my best friend, Mark.”

When Rachel and Mark saw what a wedding would look like at Wynyard Golf Club, they knew it was the one. With its breathtaking scenery and relaxing atmosphere, this venue was perfect for their very own fairytale wedding.

The couple first met online and the spark between them was instant.

“I knew Mark’s brother before I actually knew Mark, it was love at first sight and it was like we had known each other all of our lives, it was lovely.”

THE VENUE

Wynyard Golf Club offered a beautiful blank canvas for Rachel and Mark’s big day. Surrounded by 200 acres of woodland and panoramic views of the parkland, this stunning venue was top of the list for their dream wedding.

“I attended a lot of wedding fayres, for ideas, as I knew Wynard was where I wanted to get married."

"It’s just such a beautiful place to get married.”

THE OUTFITS

Rachel celebrated in two dresses from Pronovias, both adorned with lace and beautiful embellishments.

Her first dress was a strapless fairytale dream with a deep v-waist.

Her second dress was a stunning backless dress with embellished straps, both complemented the theme perfectly.

Rachel said: “As I walked down the isle because my dress was a fairytale princess one, I knocked over candles and nearly set the venue on fire!”

The groom wore a navy three-piece suit and a blush pink tie, which matched the bridesmaid’s dresses.

PHOTOGRAPHY

Tees Valley Wedding Services captured the couple’s big day. They chose Andy after many recommendations and when they saw how amazing he was, they knew he would capture it perfectly.

“I didn’t know he was taking photos all the time as he was never in your face and made me and my husband feel so comfortable."

"It was a bonus that he was funny with it too”

BRIDE’S ADVICE

“Enjoy every single minute of planning and of your special day as it goes so quickly."

"Do not let anyone rush your day and make sure that you take a few minutes away from everyone to spend time as husband and wife.”
