Shannon & Ryan got in touch with me with a unique enquiry - they were looking to renew their vows in Upper Heyford, Bicester, Oxfordshire, to celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary, and they were looking for somebody to capture their special day.
As an Oxfordshire wedding photographer, my elopement & wedding photography packages were tailored to elopements and weddings only, rather than the unique requirements of a vow renewal, therefore I created a custom package for them to document their special day.
Planning wasn't particularly easy - origally from America and currently based in Germany, the couple planned the whole big day remotely, with added help of Ryan's family who based in Oxfordshire. Despite this, the day turned out to be absolutely beautiful and simply perfect, with stunning thoughtful details. From choice of flowers, outfits and their unique sand ceremony, everything was put together beautifully. Even the weather was on the couples' side - after a week of rain, the sun shone bright on the couple as they walked to renew their promises to each other.
The couple's chosen venue was St. Mary's Parish Church in Upper Heyford, which has seen many of Ryan's family's important events - from christenings to weddings, this church holds a special place in the couples heart. It was a beautiful, meaningful venue to see yet another big family event.
The couple has been married for 20 years, travelled and moved many countries, and raised 3 amazing children together. Am Their 20th anniversary vow renewal was the perfect ceremony of their journey together. Here's a photo journal of their beautiful day - a celebration of love, family and togetherness.
After the beautiful ceremony, the family celebrated this special occasion at local pub, The Barley Mow.
