Paula & James - An Intimate and Stylish City-Centre Wedding at Manchester Art Gallery & Hotel Gotham - Manchester Wedding Photography

“Lookin’ in your eyes
I see a paradise
This world that I’ve found is too good to be true
Standin’ here beside you
Want so much to give you
This love in my heart that I’m feeling for you”
