Sultry Summer Real Wedding by Peter Rowen Photography

Real Wedding: It was a beautifully balmy day in May when Gary and Zoë tied the knot in front of their closest friends and family. Romance was truly in the air when the couple exchanged vows in a warm and personal ceremony at Borris House, before the bridal party and guests took to the lawn to enjoy fine Champagne and the heat of the summer sun. Zoë was the epitome of boho chic in her vintage white off-the-shoulder Jacques Haim gown, which complimented the lily of the valley and gypsophila theme beautifully (she even had some fresh baby’s breath in her hair – divine!) – Sultry Summer Real Wedding at Borris House by Peter Rowen Photography
