Stacey and Rich chose a beautiful local venue for their outdoor summer wedding. Moddershall Oaks Country Spa Retreat is tucked away in the Staffordshire countryside and offers lovely gardens in which to hold an outdoor wedding.

On the day of their Moddershall Oaks wedding, Rich and Stacey were blessed with good weather for the outdoor ceremony itself, though we did see a little bit of liquid sunshine after everyone was safely back inside at the bar!

Of course, the day began with the preparations of the bride and her party.

Somewhat puzzled by all this activity were Stacey & Rich's pugs, but both behaved immaculately despite the massive change to their routine.

Final preparations included the Bride's Dad showing how to wrangle a cravat into its proper place, before the bride's big reveal.

Preparations complete, it was time for everyone to head to Moddershall Oaks for the wedding.

The ceremony area looked so beautiful, one of the spa visitors couldn't help but have a crafty peek over the fence.

And now, with all the preparations done, it was time for the outdoor wedding ceremony, with all the happiness and emotion that comes with it.

Time for the newlyweds' first journey together, then a brief session of formal photography, including the group shots of family and friends

With the formal photos done, it was time for Stacey and the girls to have a bit of fun with the traditional bouquet throw, then it was time for everyone to head back inside "The Venue" for the wedding breakfast and speeches.

Speeches done and guests fed, it was time to head back out into the gardens at Moddershall Oaks and take advantage of the setting sun for some portraits of Stacey and Rich.

A flash of bling brought the posed pictures to an end.

Evening fell, and it was time for the first dance and the party to begin, which continued well into the night.
