I first talked to Robyn and Neil in 2019 when they were starting to plan their 2021 wedding day at Cowbell Brewery in Blyth. They are both big fans of craft beer and the space at Cowbell seemed liked a perfect spot to tie the knot. They had gotten engaged and begun planning before Covid existed and they were excited for their classic celebration and party.

CUE: Covid- not that it’s a plot twist at all at this point, but obviously Robyn and Neil had to make some serious plan changes in the last few months! Each time I spoke with Robyn about the new and updated plan she was always happy to accommodate changes to the guest list, location, time line etc- but they were pretty stuck on their date: June 5th!

Last Saturday when I arrived at her parents home for their backyard micro wedding I learned what a particularly special day June 5th is for her family and why Robyn and Neil were so set on starting their marriage on that day. Not only was June 5th Robyn’s parent’s wedding anniversary, it was also her grandfather’s birthday. For Robyn and Neil sharing in a day that already had too much meaning to them was important enough for all the other plans to change!

So last Saturday these two joined a few of their family members in their backyard and added one more reason to be thankful for June 5th!

Take a look at the beautiful recap of their day! Her parents house was next to a park that we found some incredible locations for portraits and their sweet little reception even got to include her parents beautiful old dog!
