Dovecote Events Wedding Photography - Harriet & Simon
Harriet and Simon’s wedding at Dovecote Events in Oxfordshire felt like a brilliant second chapter after I’d already photographed their legal ceremony a few weeks earlier. With familiar faces, a celebrant-led barn ceremony, open countryside, a tipi reception, live music, and a lively evening party, there was so much happening throughout the day. Dovecote Events gave us loads of variety for relaxed wedding photography, from the rustic barn and surrounding fields to the tipi and countryside views. The weather thankfully stayed on side too, giving Harriet and Simon plenty of time outside for natural portraits and a celebration that felt personal, relaxed, and full of energy.
Noah’s Pond Wedding Photography - Lucy & Matthew
Lucy and Matthew’s wedding at Curated Canvas at Noah’s Pond was a relaxed outdoor celebration full of sunshine, countryside views, and plenty of joy from start to finish. With a celebrant-led woodland ceremony, a tipi reception, and wide views across the fields towards the White Horse, the whole day felt completely suited to them. Curated Canvas gave them so much space to enjoy the outdoors, with guests moving easily between the ceremony area, tipi, and open countryside. From fun group photos with family and friends to golden evening portraits across the fields, it was a beautiful outdoor wedding that felt natural, personal, and full of summer energy.
Berwick Lodge Wedding Photography - Melody & Jonny
Melody and Jonny’s wedding at Berwick Lodge in Bristol was warm, personal, and full of meaning from the very start. After first meeting at a wedding fair and then catching up again for their beach shoot at Burnham-on-Sea, their wedding day felt like a lovely full-circle moment. Berwick Lodge made a beautiful setting for their celebration, with its elegant house, gardens, gazebo area, and relaxed countryside feel so close to Bristol. From their celebrant-led ceremony to live music, thoughtful guest touches, golden hour portraits, and aerial drone views of the venue, the whole day felt welcoming, joyful, and completely true to them.
