I bloody love a back garden wedding 💐⛺️

Rae & Alex planned a day that was honestly so chilled and relaxed and I think thats the beauty of a back garden wedding!

I first met Rae and her mother-in-law at a Quirky Weddings®️ fair where they both cried looking through the albums on my stand which then set me off 🥹 It’s still one of my favourite wedding fair interactions and luckily after all that they actually booked me 🤣

They said I do at their local church before wandering back down the lane with everyone for a relaxed reception in the garden. Rae kicked off her shoes pretty much as soon as we got back and lived her best life!

There was perfume making after the speeches, I had a banging dinner of chicken nuggets and chips (if you’ve booked me and read the contract then you know, but these two were the first to actually ask if I was serious 🤣) and everyone just spent the afternoon eating, drinking and hanging out together.

We wandered into the garden area behind the tipi where there was a polytunnel and made some magical photos amongst the tomatoes. I mentioned American Gothic and Alex managed to find a pitchfork before we wandered into a field and I made them climb onto a giant hay bale ‘cos it would look cute 🥲

And I think that pretty much sums up this wedding. No rushing around trying to fit in a million things, just doing whatever felt fun, spending time with their people and apparently letting me talk them into increasingly random photo ideas 😂

MORE OF THIS PLEASE!
Next Autumn is pretty booked up but there’s still Spring/Summer dates if you want create some weird and wonderful wedding pics with me 💜

A colourful summer wedding at Glebe Farm Barn

Chris & Jessica had the loveliest chilled summer wedding Glebe Farm Barn and honestly LOOK AT THAT DRESS. The flowers, the veil, the pink shoes!! I was obsessed.

They had their ceremony outside underneath the huge oak tree, led by one of their friends which instantly made everything feel really personal and relaxed. Thankfully we were sheltered by the shade of the tree!

Afterwards everyone headed back on a short tractor ride and back towards the barn for drinks, hanging out and enjoying the sunshine. Whilst the first tractor headed back we took a few photos by the tree branches and then I left them to mingle when we got back to the barn. There was scrapbooking, games, plenty of food & just all round fun relaxed vibes.

It was my first time at Glebe Farm but I hope I get to go back! It had so many little spots everywhere. Give me an old shed, an overgrown corner, a massive tree or some interesting light and I’m happy. I think sometimes people assume you need a perfectly manicured wedding venue to get cool photos but honestly I probably get more excited when there’s something a bit unexpected to work with.

I still have space for autumn/winter weddings this year and some availabilty for next year so get in touch if you want to chat about your wedding plans!

A chilled tipi wedding and a magical celebrant ceremony ✨💜

This was a wedding that was full of magic and an incredibly infectious energy running throughout and thats testament to the people that Alexa & James keep around them and the environment theleftfield inhabitat provided ✨

They had a ceremony led by a friend and incorporating hand fasting jumping the broom and at the end everyone stood together holding hands and synchronised breathing. It was something I’d not seen before but even whilst photographing I found myself also breathing the same and you could really sense the connection.

Before dinner we headed for some shade in the woodland and a few photos, plus some with Goliath the truck which I just thought looked super cool!
They had speeches out in the sunshine which I would encourage everyone to do if you can, it really added to the super relaxed atmosphere and meant so much more space for moving around and capturing candids too.

Before I left, we went for another little walk and a few more couple photos, I always encourage 2 smaller 10/15 mins of couple photos so it’s not overwhelming, you’re not away from your guests too long but also means you have time together to reconnect and take it all in.

When I saw the huge pile of tyres amongst the grass I knew it would look awesome! I love finding something unexpected and something that isn’t your typical ‘wedding’ backdrop and making something cool out of it! I’m also super grateful for awesome couples that are happy to let me do my thing and trust in the vision!

This was a wedding that was all about the people and community and I bloody loved being part of it!

My brain can be a strange place… and I love that I have awesome couples that let me embrace it!

When Clare & Peter told me they were getting married at Frinton-on-Sea Lawn Tennis Club my first thought was I know nothing about tennis but we can make this work and then I got there, saw the tennis court and where the light would hit and was like, damnnnn, I can live out my Wes Anderson dreams.

Every photographer has things that they gravitate and ways they like to work… I love a line and some symmetry but I also love totally breaking that! I spend a lot of a wedding day looking for interesting shapes, lines, strong light and little details that catch my eye. So when a venue hands me giant skies, bold shadows, a perfectly centred net and endless white lines... I’m absolutely going to lean into it.

I always describe myself as a bit of a chameleon when it comes to my style because for me it’s not about having a set list when I walk into a wedding. The way I work and photograph is very much about the vibe of the day, you as a couple and what presents itself when I get there. So bring on more tennis courts please!

Was gonna call this “cool wedding pics without faces” but it seemed a bit weird so we’re going with ‘things I noticed”

But I think it started because when people think about wedding photography, they usually picture people.
The hugs, the confetti, the first kiss, the dancefloor.
And obviously... I photograph all of that too!
But there’s been a shift in my outlook this year and Ive really been embracing my point of view more & I’ve realised some of the photos I come back to most don’t actually have a face in them.

There’s the sunglasses abandoned on a palm tree because everyone had given up pretending they weren’t melting.
A bouquet dumped on the grass next to a camcorder & a stain pen because there were more important things to be getting on with.
A spoon dunked in a bowl of trifle because we spoke before about your nans famous trifles and I knew the significance of that.
None of those photos were on a specific list, none of them were planned. But to me every single one says something about the people, the atmosphere and the story of the day.

Because yes, weddings are made up of people but they’re also made up of everything people leave behind while they’re busy having the best day of their lives and I think it’s pretty cool to be able to show that in the photos I take… hopefully that makes sense if you got this far 😂

A Heatwave Wedding at Marleybrook House ☀️🎠

I’ve been thinking about this wedding a lot while editing it... And I’ve realised something.
Looking back through these photos, I don’t just remember what happened. I remember what it felt like to be there.

I left my hotel that morning and immediately felt like I’d stepped off a plane abroad. The heat hit me instantly and I immediately regretted putting any make-up on because I knew I was going to be a sweaty mess all day. (Spoiler: I absolutely was. 😂)

I remember everyone squeezing into patches of shade because it was ridiculously hot. I remember people laughing about the weather all day and me becoming slightly obsessed with photographing anyone holding a fan. 🤣

I remember everyone making a beeline for the fairground rides the second they opened and the excitement around the Waltzer. I remember the atmosphere and the feeling, the noise, the laughs and when you look back through the photos after thats my aim to transport you back to that place.
And I think that’s my favourite part of this job.
Creating photographs that don’t just remind you what your wedding looked like, but what it felt like to be there 🖤

I’ve been talking a lot recently about how the photos people end up loving most are rarely the ones they expected.
So now I want to put that theory to the test...
If I’ve photographed your wedding (or you were a guest!!), hit the photo reply button and share the image from your gallery that you keep coming back to.
Not necessarily the “perfect” one.
It can be the one that makes you laugh or cry, or just makes you feel something!
Im so intrigued to see which moments have stayed with you. 🖤

One of the biggest compliments I get these days isn’t, “Your photos are awesome”
It’s when someone says...
“We saw ourselves in your website.” “We feel like you’d get us.”
I honestly can’t tell you how much that means.

Over the last couple of years, I’ve become much more intentional about the kind of work I want to create and the people I want to create it for.

Growing up, I was always the awkward chubby emo kid. I never felt like I fitted the mould. I wasn’t the person you saw in magazines, I didn’t wear what everyone else was wearing and for a long time, I thought I was the odd one out.
Which maybe that’s why this matters so much to me.

Because I know what it’s like to wonder if there’s a place for you, and if I’m honest, I still see that happening so much in the wedding industry. There often feels like there’s one version of what a wedding “should” look like, who it’s for and how it’s meant to be celebrated.

I don’t buy into that.
I couldn’t care less what you look like, who you love, what traditions you keep or throw out. Whether your wedding is in a castle, a registry office or your back garden.
If you’re kind humans who are excited to marry each other, that’s enough for me.
I just want to tell honest stories about your day.

I want this little corner of the internet to feel like somewhere you belong.
So if you’ve ever looked at wedding pages and thought...
“I’m not sure people like us fit here.”
I hope you read this and think... “Actually... maybe we do.” 🖤

Festival Wedding at Chalkney Water Meadows 🎉

I knew this wedding was going to be good when a pug came down the aisle in a wagon. Not the couple. The pug.

Her name is Puddles and, quite frankly, she stole the show.
First she made her grand entrance being pulled down the aisle by the bridesmaids. THEN she returned dressed as a hobbit carrying the rings. Which is honestly the sort of commitment to a bit that I can only admire. 💕

Jem & Lu didn’t spend the day trying to create some perfect version of what a wedding should look like. They filled it with things they actually love, created a space for everyone to just come together and have the best day and a day where Puddles could hang out with her humans too!

A sunny outdoor ceremony at with their friend as the celebrant. Drinks and canapés by the lake. Wandering through the woods for photos, piggy backs, a giant tipi full of brilliant humans and one very loved pug. I had an absolute hoot being part of it!! 💜

Very excited to be back there in August AND very excited to be a recommended supplier too 💕

Captains Wood Barn weddings will always have a special place in my heart 🖤
(One of my best friends got married there and I was a bridesmaid and it’s just such a magical place!)

Anyway back to Amber & Connors day! One of my favourite things about their day wasn’t the woodland ceremony or even the fact I got to spend the afternoon wandering through the woods taking photos…

It was the ploughman’s. 🧀

Okay stay with me! So instead of jumping straight into drinks after the ceremony, everyone sat down together to eat first. Which, in the middle of a ridiculously hot day, was so genius. It meant everyone had a drink, nobody was hungry, nobody was flagging and by the time everyone was out chatting and relaxing afterwards the heat had eased off a bit too. Which meant super lovely light for photos and I wasn’t a hot mess quite so much!

It was such a small change in the grand scheme of things, but I think it sums up the whole day perfectly.

They had a pagan ceremony in the woods with nods to Connor’s Jewish heritage. Chill time for food and speeches. A slow wander through the trees and a room absolutely bursting with love. It meant nothing felt rushed, forced or done just because it was ‘expected’. Everything was super intentional 💜

(Also, for the record, I was extremely happy about the amount of cheese involved.)
