ABode Exeter Cathedral Wedding Photography || Susannah and Andrei

It was wonderful to photograph Susannah and Andrei’s wedding at Abode Exeter (who have used these photos in their brochure!) and blessing at Exeter Cathedral, surrounded by their friends and family from across the world who came to share this beautiful day with them.

Susannah walked by Andrei’s desk in Bucharest 18 months before they were introduced by friends in Barcelona and he poured a bottle of beer on her, accidentally of course. They were meant to be!
