Mid April Highgrove Weddings

Here are some highlights from two of our recent April weddings... it is always so exciting to take pictures of each of our couples' special days as the styles and details are personal to each bride and groom. From the tables clothes to dresses, to food and flowers, each wedding at Highgrove is unique and beautiful in its own special way... and we wouldn't have it any other way!
