DILYS & PHIL'S WEDDING THAT AMAZING PLACE

Today I am taking you back to Dilys and Phil’s fusion summer wedding at That Amazing Place. I had the most brilliant day with the most smiley and giggly couple I think I have ever met. When they smiled, I smiled. It was deliciously infectious. Dilys and Phil got ready at The Amazing Place in the company of close friends and family. Their ceremony took place outdoors by the lake which made a perfect backdrop.

Dinner took place in the marquee on the lawns, but not before Dilys and Phil danced into the venue following the bridal and groom’s party who weren’t afraid to show us their dance moves. After the speeches, Dilys decided to throw her bouquet outside and the women didn’t disappoint when it came to racing for the bouquet. As the evening drew in, the guests moved into the main house and hit the dancefloor. Dilys and Phil changed into traditional African dress during the evening and rejoined the dancefloor looking absolutely superb.

Thank you Dilys and Phil for having Teri and I capture your day, we felt honoured and you have left us with lasting memories that we will cherish.

JEN & TOM'S OLD LUXTERS BARN WEDDING

I started the day at Danesfield House Spa in Marlow for Jen’s bridal prep ahead of this Old Luxters Barn Wedding. In keeping with the autumnal feel, the bridesmaids wore beautiful wine colour dresses. Jen’s bridal gown made by Grace Phillips was perfect for the season too and had pockets! Got to love a dress with pockets! The ceremony and reception took place in rustic Old Luxters Barn nestled in the grounds of Chiltern Valley Winery in Oxfordshire. The lit fairly lights draped from the ceiling beams make the barn very pretty. It was a beautiful place for a wedding. Big thank you to Jen and Tom for trusting us to capture their amazing day. We loved every minute.

COMBERMERE ABBEY WEDDING

Combermere Abbey! What an incredible place for a wedding. This wedding venue is nestled in the rural borders of Cheshire and Shropshire in the Northwest of England. This place is a real treat! I took another road trip to Shropshire to shoot the wedding of Kathryn and Jack along side my best buddy Teresa. My main job was to focus on the groom and assist capturing the day in my usual documentary style. Anyway, that is enough chatter. Here are some highlights!

LUCY & BRADLEY'S HUTTON HALL WEDDING

Let’s take a look back to the Autumn when we photographed Lucy and Bradley’s wedding at Hutton Hall.

Lucy and Bradley got married at All Saints C of E Church in Hutton which is a short walk away from Hutton Hall.

The church bells rang for Lucy and Bradley which is quite an honour to hear. After a cheerful confetti greeting, the guests walked back to Hutton Hall for the drinks reception. Whilst Lucy and Bradley went for a short drive in the Rolls Royce, we photographed the wedding decor in the marquee.

Fortunately the rain held off in order for us to photograph Lucy and Bradley with their friends and family in the gardens.

The guests welcomed Lucy and Bradley into dinner, which was served by Premier Crew. Speeches took place after dinner and had the room belly laughing and teary in equal measure.

The evening party was opened by Lucy and Bradley’s first dance.

Thank you Lucy and Bradley for choosing me to capture your wedding day.

AMY & MIKE'S MAIDENS BARN WEDDING

Today’s feature is the pretty autumn Maidens Barn wedding of Amy and Mike which I second shot for my wing lady Teresa. Maidens Barn is nestled in the Essex countryside and it’s a venue that I always enjoy returning to. As always we had a lot of fun capturing the day in our usual documentary style and also had the added pleasure of catching up with one of our Santorini wedding couples, Hannah & Elliott who were attending as guests.

After the ceremony, everyone headed into the gardens for confetti, drinks and group shots.

After drinks in the garden, everyone headed into the barn for dinner and speeches.

After dinner we took advantage of the good light and did more confetti shots with the bridal and groom’s party.

As the sun came down, it was time to throw the bouquet and cut the cake in the barn, followed by a whole lot of dancing!

ROSS & KERI'S SWYNFORD MANOR WEDDING

Back in October, I returned to Cambridgeshire to photograph Ross and Keri’s Autumn wedding at Swynford Manor. The weather was a bit temperamental that day as it rained on and off, but that didn’t spoil a thing. They made the most of the day in the company of their close friends and family.

Once ready, Keri’s father walked her downstairs to the ceremony room where guests eagerly awaited her entrance. We did take the time to admire the stunning floristry skills of Feather and Ferns who are based in Cambridge.

The fabulous team at Swynford Manor helped me organise the guests on to the grand staircase so that we could pull off a fun confetti moment that involved everyone.

The reception room looked stunning, dressed in classic black and white with autumn florals creatively brought together by florist Feather and Ferns and luxury wedding stylist Lulabelles.

After dinner, we popped outside for a few night time portraits and sparklers.

After sparklers, all the guests headed back into the Manor to watch Ross and Keri cut the cake and for their first dance.

Thank you Keri and Ross for choosing me to capture your wedding day.

KATIE & SCOTT'S COOLING CASTLE WEDDING

Katie and Scott’s winter Cooling Castle Wedding was one to remember. This was my second visit to Cooling Castle in Kent. The first wedding I shot there was days after a heavy snow fall that closed a lot of surrounding roads. Fortunately, I was able to leave the snow shovel at home for Katie and Scott’s wedding day. Instead we were treated to beautiful blue skies and sunshine.

CHRIS & LEI'S NORFOLK WEDDING

This is the gorgeous sunkissed June wedding of Chris and Lei, who got married last weekend in Norfolk. The reception was held at The Barn at Woodlands in Norfolk. We were treated to glorious weather all day and had a whole lot of fun in the company of Chris and Lei’s family and friends. Here you go, check it out.

Chris and Lei’s ceremony was held at St Stephen’s Church in Norwich with family and friends who had travelled across the globe to be there. Talk about commitment!

After a whole lot of confetti throwing, the guests hopped on the buses, equipped with gin and hula hoops, to the reception venue at Woodlands Farm in Stokesby. We even got to pass over the Norfolk Broads on the journey. The reception drinks were held in the sunny gardens of the farm.

The barn was beautifully decorated with tokens to Chris and Lei’s travels. We made the most of the stunning golden hour taking Chris and Lei on a wander around the gardens at the end the day.
