Simon and Petra - A Chemical Romance

Simon and Petra - A Chemical Romance

Simon and Petra's romance sparked in a Chemistry laboratory where they both worked. Marrying in September 2014, their ceremony was held at The Oxford Oratory Church of St. Aloysius Gonzaga. The high golden ceilings and archaic atmosphere made the Church ceremony particularly beautiful.

Blessed with sunny weather, the wedding party then headed to Eynsham Hall in Oxfordshire for the reception. This is one of the finest wedding venues in Oxfordshire and the grand stately home made a stunning backdrop for photos whilst guests enjoyed the magnificent gardens. Making a swift transition from her Justin Alexander gown, Petra changed into a gorgeous Indian outfit for the evening reception. The first dance was the highlight of the day; Simon and Petra had secretly taken dance lessons before the wedding so that they would Foxtrot to Frank Sinatra in true style.
