Yesterday, Leigh & Lisa were married at the beautiful Slad Church 🤍🕊️
But waiting outside was a very special surprise, thoughtfully organised by Leigh’s mum, a Dove Release in memory of Leigh’s late dad, Tony.
When Leigh was a child, Tony gifted him Doves. So to have Doves return to mark such an important moment in Leigh’s life was an incredibly fitting and deeply meaningful tribute to his dad. 🤍
The church itself presented a few challenges for us, with very tall trees surrounding the venue and telephone wires nearby. Our absolute priority is always the safety of our birds, so we had to position ourselves in the safest possible place for their liberation. Due to the surrounding our Doves took a little extra time before taking flight, as they too ensure they have a clear view to take flight.
Unfortunately, not every guest had a clear view, but as this was a surprise gift for Leigh & Lisa, the most important thing was that we could carry out the release safely and make it a beautiful moment for the couple.
A truly special tribute, filled with love, memories and meaning. 🕊️🤍
Congratulations Leigh & Lisa, we hope your day was everything you dreamed of.
And a very special thank you to Leigh’s mum for allowing Cotswolds White Wings to be part of such a precious moment. 🤍
The song choice for our video is also Tony's favourite song 🎵
