A couple holding white papers, kissing in a sunny park

Isla & Noah

Isla and Noah eloped to Maldon at the end of summer, with only two witnesses and me. We stood by an old stone ruin on the hillside, and instead of vows they read each other letters they had written in secret. After the signing we all sat down to a picnic on the grass, and nobody was in any hurry to leave.
