Crystal & Jon - Hampstead Heath, London

Crystal and Jon’s wedding took place at Hampstead Heath in London, starting with quiet, unhurried moments in the morning before building into a lively celebration later in the day. It was relaxed and personal, with a strong sense of connection between the people there and plenty of space for things to happen naturally.
