ICE CREAM, AN OLD CONVERTIBLE AND A REALLY CHEEKY PEACOCK.

When Olivia first got in touch, I hadn't yet heard of Ellingham Hall, but a quick Google search revealed one of the most stunning country houses I'd ever seen. Their plans were elegant yet uncomplicated; a ceremony in St Aidan's church with music, joy and laughter, a stroll by Bamburgh beach for an ice cream, then back to Ellingham Hall for some delicious food and dancing.

Olivia and Andrew are an infectious couple, in all the right ways! Their shared love of laughter and the good yet simple things in life was a treat to witness, and both Josh and I felt like we'd truly made friends by the time we'd finished up for the day. Congratulations again guys, we had a BLAST with you.

And to Ellingham's cheeky peacock: not even the most aggressive tail fanning & head bobbing would have separated Josh from his salmon dinner, but nice try!
