The bridal suite for a Willowdale Estate wedding is just lovely, lots of room for a big bridal party, and that iconic bathtub! The best part though, is that the windows overlook the courtyard where the wedding ceremony usually takes place. On this day, we were all looking up at the clouds and wondering if we could make it before the rain started... maybe? Oh, we were trying to push it! Everyone wanted to be outside. It was simply gorgeous - a warm early October day, with the foliage at its peak... Alas, the decision was made to go under the tent, even though it was barely sprinkling a few minutes before ceremony time. BUT! It was a good decision it turns out because it started pouring right in the middle of the ceremony. Sean's dad (also officiant) made a remark about the rain sounded like clapping for the couple, it came at just the right moment.

Thankfully Roisin and Sean chose to do a first look and take all of the photos at Willowdale beforehand. We started on the wooden walkway beside the Ipswich River by the estate for the first look, which is rapidly becoming my favorite photo spot for a wedding at Willowdale Estate. And I don't think Roisin could be more stunning! Her pale rose dress was like nothing I've ever seen before... and just keep scrolling for all the glamorous reception details!
