Rita & Adam: Rustic Summer Wedding at South Farm, Royston

As one of my favourite and most visited venues, South Farm is a place close to my heart and it was just lovely to return there for Rita & Adam’s wedding day.

The Old Dairy at South Farm was the setting for their vows, with Rita beaming as she met Adam at the end of the aisle. Their heartfelt ceremony was a real privilege to capture and one that truly reminded me of how special my job is. Cheers erupted as Rita and Adam started their married life through an explosion of confetti thrown by their nearest and dearest, as always in front of the iconic South Farm blue door.

Rita looked absolutely gorgeous in a sequinned strapless dress by Kenneth Winston, and Adam was dapper in a bespoke navy suit by local tailor Souster & Hicks which he paired with a green tie and pocket watch.

The relaxed vibe continued with canapes and drinks in the gardens as they were congratulated by family and friends. Dinner and speeches took place in the Tudor Barn, which looked gorgeous adorned with festoon lights and rustic green and gold table decor.

We couldn’t resist popping out to capture the golden hour, which I always find elevates couples portraits into something that looks nothing short of magical. But for me the highlight of their day that I’ll always remember was the party: as per Italian tradition, Rita & Adam’s family circled them in vibrant coloured streamers as they kicked the night off with their first dance. It was such a unique moment to capture and it’s always the first thing that comes to mind when I think about their day.

Huge love and congratulations to Rita & Adam, I’m so thrilled you asked me to capture your day!

Oh my, we are just speechless! Thank you SO much, you did such an amazing job and we are just in love with them. I don’t know how we’re going to pick which ones we want in an album and framed! We are just over the moon with them.
