A Love Worth the Wait: Gareth & Carrie’s Beautiful Wedding at Rowton Hall

After months of anticipation and rescheduling, Gareth and Carrie’s wedding day at Rowton Hall was finally here—a celebration filled with love, joy, and resilience. Their journey to the aisle had its share of obstacles, from lockdowns to venue changes and multiple postponed dates. But on 9th September, surrounded by family and friends, this incredible couple finally said “I do” in the most beautiful way.

A Wedding Journey Like No Other

The journey to Gareth and Carrie’s wedding day began in February 2020 with their ‘About You’ session, where I had the chance to get to know them as a couple. Originally planned for June that same year, their wedding was one of countless celebrations put on hold due to the lockdowns and restrictions. After 18 months, two venues, and four different dates, they finally celebrated their day at Rowton Hall—and it was truly worth the wait.

As an international destination wedding photographer, witnessing the determination of couples like Gareth and Carrie is both inspiring and humbling. Their wedding day was not just a union of two hearts but a tribute to patience, love, and unwavering support from their friends and family.

A Speech to Remember and a Room Filled with Emotion

One of the most touching moments of the day was Gareth’s heartfelt speech to Carrie. In one of the most genuine and moving groom’s speeches I’ve ever witnessed, Gareth spoke from the heart, capturing the room with words that left not a single dry eye—including his own. His love and admiration for Carrie shone through every word, underscoring the strength of their bond and the joy they bring to each other’s lives.

Documenting this moment was a privilege, as I could see the love and happiness radiate from their friends and family, who had gathered from near and far to celebrate Gareth and Carrie’s love.
