Wow, this was one amazing wedding to be a part of. It was our very first Jewish wedding and we were so excited (possibly from watching too much Sex in the City – yes I’m a man and I like the series!). It certainly didn’t disappoint.
Rachel gave us an enormous amount of detail in the ‘Big Fat Jewish Wedding’ info pack so we were well prepared for the mayhem to come. I think mayhem is the right word, basically, at a Jewish wedding you’re only ever about 2 minutes away from there being something awesome to take pictures of. People also get thrown into the air!
The venue was the lovely Old Swan Hotel in Harrogate.
Here are a couple of hundred of our favourites (spread into 3 parts for slightly easier browsing!).
