"BIRTH AND MARRIAGE"

Holy Trinity Church a central traditional part to both ceremonies, signifying the union between man and woman, and the partnership of life. The Bride in virginal white carrying red roses of love. The couple are innocent, free of prejudice, naïve and carefree on a spring day. The Blackthorn Blossom surrounding them like confetti. Mother and baby on the left of the baptismal font, dressed in blue to symbolise devotion that exists between mother and child. The young green leaves on the tree heralding the start of life, as do the spring flowers. In the background the gravestones, a reminder of generations before. The Church door is open to welcome all.
