Nicola & Kavi: Heartfelt Outdoor Wedding at Sheene Mill, Royston

Nicola and Kavi were married on a beautiful September day in the romantic countryside setting of Sheene Mill in Cambridgeshire. It’s always a tiny risk planning an outdoor ceremony in England but it certainly paid off, with the lakeside pergola creating a magical setting for their day.

I love her beautiful bouquet by the Basement Florist, soft coloured roses paired with purple astrantia and freesias. And a floral headpiece to match, borrowed from one of her bridesmaids as her “something borrowed” – a really lovely touch!

I love the little looks they kept giving each other throughout the ceremony, it was so cute! They left under sprinkles of confetti from their guests and enjoyed drinks and canapes on the lawn.

As a surprise Nicola arranged for Kavi’s wedding breakfast to be served to him in KFC boxes.. his reaction was a joy to photograph!

They had a gorgeous first dance interrupted by a huge confetti canon (something I highly approve of!) and afterwards we sneaked off to get some portraits at night as the pergola is beautifully lit and they have tea lights hanging fom the trees. Off camera flash portraits are a new thing for me so it was great to experiment and try something different.. and I’m so pleased with how the pics came out!

We finally got to sit down and look through our wedding photos! They are so so amazing, thank you so much for capturing all aspects of our day. They’re perfect, we love every single one of them and it’s really emotional seeing it all back.

Thank you so much again, we are really grateful and SO glad we found you to photograph our day!

Lucy & Tim: Elegant Autumn Wedding at Combermere Abbey

I am just eternally in love with Lucy & Tim’s elegant wedding at Combermere Abbey - it was just exquisite and so filled with love. Lucy looked incredible in her Ronald Joyce dress and cathedral length veil, carrying a bouquet of freesias.

For their ceremony, Lucy & Tim chose to get married in a tiny white church on the Welsh border, and I think I can safely say I’ve never seen a lovelier, more charming church. It made for the most perfect small, cosy ceremony and was officiated by one of the most wonderful vicars I’ve ever met.

The rain stopped and started all morning, and just as we arrived at Combermere Abbey it suddenly went from a downpour to sunshine.. we couldn’t have asked for better timing! The wind made for some amazing veil photos and their joy was just palpable and shone through in the photographs.

I just love the unique layout of Combermere Abbey’s walled gardens, with their reception room hidden amongst a maze of fruit trees that hosted welcome drinks and a string quartet.

The styling for their reception was traditional with a modern twist: big, beautiful arrangements of ivory roses with dotted greenery with tea lights in baubles hanging down. Their top table was decorated with a wall of candles which gave a stunning atmosphere as the sun went down.

One of my favourite things about their day was that their guests were so ken to dance that they were boogie-ing along as the band did their sound check! Needless to say it was an amazing evening with a full dance floor from the minute their first dance finished to well after we left!

Thank you both for the privilege of photographing your incredible day - it was magical from start to finish.

Thank you so much for everything you did that day, you made it all feel so easy. Your photographs have been just perfect!

Michaela & Michael: Sunset Wedding at Palm Beach Hotel Larnaca, Cyprus

The end of August brought along a trip to Cyprus for Michaela & Michael’s destination wedding in Larnaca in Cyprus.. very exciting stuff! It’s a huge honour to be asked work in another country and their day was no exception.

The Palm Beach Hotel was the setting for their day, dressed in the vibrant colours of the hotel garden’s greenery and flowers against the bright blue sky. They chose to say their vows in a sunset beachside ceremony in the presence of their closest friends and family. I just loved the way Michaela looked at Michael as she walked down the aisle – absolutely beaming!

After the ceremony we rushed off (thank you guys!) to grab some portraits in that beautiful light in the precious few minutes before sunset, under the pink hued bougainvillea that surrounded the hotel gardens.. before heading to the beach to watch the sky change as the sun set.

Huge love to you both for the joy of travelling to Cyprus to photograph your beautiful day. It was an honour and a privilege!

We’ve just had the chance to sit down together and look through all the photos together and we’re so, SO in love! I can’t put into words how grateful we are, or how much we adore them. But we just wanted to say from the bottom of our hearts how thankful we are you were there to capture it all!

Beth & Shane: Rustic Wedding at The Barns at Hunsbury Hill, Northampton

If I had to choose one wedding that made me tear up the most it would probably be this one! Together since they were at school, Beth & Shane got married on a sunny August after 10 years together.

Their day stated with a lovely church ceremony in Great Doddington, with tears before it even began as beautiful Beth walked down the aisle, wowing in her Ellis Bridals dress. The photo of them both tearing up as she arrived at the end of the aisle has got to be one of my favourites of the whole year! 

I love how detail-driven Beth was in planning her wedding décor – she is a girl after my own heart! With a mix of DIY items and hire from my favourite lady Gemma at The White Emporium, the Barns at Hunsbury Hill was filled with rustic gorgeousness from top to toe. And my favourite bit: space hoppers on the lawn!

Their wedding breakfast was a classic english roast with a twist: friends and family carving it themselves at the tables, which was an absolute hit with their guests. 

That evening we were treated to an incredible golden hour before the sun set and their first dance began. They surprised their parents by playing their first dance songs, which was a really lovely touch that I’ve never seen before in all the weddings I’ve photographed!

Ceremony Venue: St Nicholas, Great Doddington
Reception Venue: The Barns at Hunsbury Hill
Venue Style & Hire: The White Emporium
Dress: Ellis Bridals from Fairytale Weddings
Shoes: Rachel Simpson
Suit: Suitors

Our wedding day was genuinely the best day of our lives and being able to re-live it through the photos has been amazing. It was honestly an absolute pleasure to have you as our wedding photographer - it was simply one of the best decisions we made and we are over the moon with the photos! So thank you again, you really are such a talented lady.

Abby & Joseph: London Wedding at St Michael's Church, Belgravia

Abby & Joseph’s wedding day was a little different as they held their entire wedding in the church from start to finish.. how lovely! Everyone helped out turning the room around after their ceremony into a literature themed wedding reception with the best buffet food I think I’ve ever eaten!

As Abby, her girls and I headed to the ceremony we walked past the perfectly colour coordinated Peggy Porschen store.. we couldn’t resist getting a pic in front of the colourful shopfront. It’s no wonder it’s super popular with bloggers!

Their ceremony was lovely, featuring music and sermons by their friends, and afterwards we took the opportunity to take their portraits on the beautiful streets of Belgravia with its beautiful textures and architecture as the sun set. Thank you guys so much for having me along - we had so much fun!

Thank you so much for these incredible photos, they are absolutely wonderful. You’ve captured the day more beautifully than we could have imagined - looking at the photos last night almost made us feel like we were reliving the whole thing, and seeing bits we’d missed on the day! Thank you also for capturing all the small details that we and our family and friends worked so hard to put together - it’s so special to have them up close and on record.
