Madeleine and Izaac stand with their wedding party in a field at Folly Farm Centre, framed by colourful smoke grenades and a giant oak tree. The vibrant rainbow clouds add energy and fun to this dramatic group portrait in the countryside.

Some weddings sneak up on you in the best way - and this one did exactly that. Madeleine and Izaac’s day at Folly Farm Centre felt peaceful, personal, and really grounding.

It wasn’t loud or flashy, but it was full of meaning. And as someone lucky enough to be behind the camera, I could feel just how much this day meant to them.

There were laughs (shoutout to the unexpected wind), a few tears, and a beautiful dose of quiet strength woven through it all. I left with that full-heart feeling - and a few wind-swept curls of my own.

Creative Touches by the Bride Herself

Madeleine absolutely poured herself into this day. From the flowers and cake to the decor and little styling details, so much of it was her own creation, and it looked beautiful! I love when a wedding feels handmade in the best way, and this one had her fingerprints all over it in the loveliest, most thoughtful way.

Emotion Beneath the Surface

There was a quiet intensity to the day, and even though a lot of it stayed private to the couple, I could feel it. Not every emotional moment is big or dramatic - some are soft and heavy all at once. It was clear this day carried deep meaning for Madeleine and Izaac, and it really stayed with me.

That Wild Somerset Wind

The wind definitely made itself known at Folly Farm that day. There were moments during portraits when it whipped around with a mind of its own, but honestly, it made everything feel more alive. Hair flying, dresses catching in the breeze - it gave the photos movement and a kind of wild beauty that you just can’t plan.

The Smoke Grenade That Almost Caused a Scene

Okay… this was a moment. When the wind caught the smoke grenade and sent it drifting toward the buildings, for a split second it genuinely looked like something was on fire. The venue staff were amazing about it (Jason and Matt, you handled it like pros) and it’s now a top-tier wedding memory for me. Chaos? Maybe. Memorable? Definitely.

A Very Emotional Day, in Every Way

This wasn’t just a pretty day… it was an emotional one. Between the sunshine, the speeches, and those little unspoken moments shared between the two of them, there was so much love in the air. It felt like the kind of day that would sit with you long after it ended, and I’m really grateful to have been part of it.

Conclusion:

Madeleine and Izaac’s wedding at Folly Farm Centre reminded me that weddings don’t have to be over-the-top to be unforgettable. It was honest, beautifully thought out, and full of real emotion. I’m so thankful they trusted me to capture not just the images, but the feeling of it all.
