Claire and James married at beautiful Colshaw Hall in the Cheshire countryside and celebrated with their family, friends, and gorgeous dog Chester. The couple had a very modern meeting on Instagram, with James sending Claire a message not expecting a reply, and 6 years later, I had the pleasure of filming their special day.
Francesca and Danny’s special day was full of laughter and good times with a few happy tears interspersed (they both admitted during their that they’re criers!) They had a joyous church ceremony in Brighton before enjoying drinks in the sunshine at Pangdean Old Barn.
The couple (and many of their guests) work in theatre, so the day was peppered with heartfelt performances from friends, and there wasn’t a spare space on the dancefloor come the evening party!
Frankie and George met at university, and it was lovely to hear their story unfold through George and his best man’s speeches. George knew from day 1 that Frankie was the one for him, even declaring his love for her on a public bus one day! ♥
The day was full of sunshine, smiles and laughter, and it was a pleasure to capture their day at Wotton House – one of my favourite wedding venues.
Kelly and Anthony had a Jim and Pam from the American Office style meeting, keeping their relationship a secret for a while, while really, everyone knew all along! The gusty winds and impending rain didn’t stop this lovely couple having the outdoor ceremony they’d always wanted at Brookfield Barn.
We dodged a few rain showers throughout the day, but the couple and their guests were able to enjoy some drinks and garden games by the pond before their wedding breakfast inside the beautiful oak-beamed barn.
When Jamie and Jodie got in touch, they described their wedding vision as ‘barn-y, boho, chilled and fun,’ and they delivered exactly that. The rustic Sussex Barn with its festoon lighting, was the perfect setting for their relaxed ceremony and reception. I’m obsessed with festoon and fairy lights!
Although we were dodging rain showers throughout the day, a rainbow made an appearance during their evening drinks, signing off an absolutely wonderful day.
Jess and Danny had a chance meeting sitting next to each other on a long-haul flight. Danny admitted during his wedding speech, that after chatting away for the entire flight, ‘he knew he was going to marry this person’.
Sofi and Maria met through their love of reading and writing, so I should have guessed that their personal vows were going to be incredibly special. These two spent the day looking at each in complete adoration and it was a pleasure to be there to capture the love and laughter.
I also flipping loved Sofi’s dad’s Vulcan salute at the end of his speech! 🙂
With Rhiannon’s big beautiful eyes and ball gown dress, she definitely had Disney princess vibes going on and their day was truly magical! Both maths teachers – Rhi and Fin had had created a customised seating plan to challenge guests to calculate their table number.
This was just one of many personal touches and they really had thought of everything for their special day.
I have a special love for garden weddings as it’s what my husband and I chose to do for our own wedding. They’re incredibly personal and you have the freedom to do exactly what you want. Anna and George planned their wedding to perfection and their guests were blown away by how spectacular everything looked.
After having to postpone due to Covid, when their special day came around, everyone was ready to hit the dancefloor hard and it was heck of a party!
It was laughter and smiles all day long for Alice and David as they celebrated with their family, friends, and Alice’s tribe of 9 bridesmaids. That’s got to be a record there!
Georgia and Kyle met at school when they were just 15 years old, and it was amazing to be there to capture their special day almost another 15 years later. The sun was shining, the speeches were hilarious one minute and and tear-jerking the next. Everything was just perfect for these high school sweethearts.
