AL FRESCO Love Carina and Matt’s wedding enjoyed the stunning backdrop of Harefield Barn which was styled with soft pink, peach and forest green-coloured touches Images courtesy of Passion4Photos Wedding Photographer Carina and Matt met on a night out in Manchester when they were both at university and have been a couple for ten years. “It was our friend, Chris’ 21st birthday when we met so naturally he was one of the ushers at our wedding!” they tell us. Matt proposed during a trip that he planned as a surprise for Carina’s 28th birthday. “It was exactly 51 weeks before our wedding then took place,” Carina says. “There was a cabin by a lake with a hot tub and champagne where we were staying. Matt had called our parents the week before to tell them and ask for their blessing so the proposal was a wonderful surprise and perfect in every way.” Carina and Matt wanted to get married in Devon where Carina is from so here she tells us all about their magical day at Harefield Barn in Crediton. Carina and Matthew (Matt) Ripley-Taylor married on 10th September 2022 at Harefield Barn in Devon. 31 REAL WEDDINGS
