This wedding was a lovely local one for me. Ed and Rachel’s wedding ceremony was at Langtons House in Hornchurch in the Grand Hall. Then they held their reception at Thames Chase forest in Upminster Essex. It’s not the first time one of my groom’s has changed into shorts and a Hawaiian shirt after their ceremony, which summed up the wonderfully relaxed vibe of the day.

After photos in Langtons Gardens, we headed to Thames Chase in Upminster for the reception. Ed and Rachel hired the Essex Barn on the edge of the woodlands which is available for dry hire. With the help of family and friends, the barn was transformed. It was a chilled relaxed afternoon in the sunshine and the evening party was as vibrant as the colourful decor.
