Bassmead Manor Barns Wedding Photography and Photographer
This wedding has to be up there as one of my all time favourites. Firstly, it was at one of the best venues around, one with unlimited creative options, with some of the loveliest and most helpful staff in the business; Bassmead Manor Barns.
Secondly, Sophie & Ben where just the ideal couple to photograph; they were full of fun, adventure and love.
It was a beautiful spring morning, blue skies and warmth in the air. Sophie’s bridal preparation all came together nicely; we had plenty of time to relax and capture images without a rush. Sophie really did look stunning; her beaming smile was infectious.
I found out the Groomsmen had personalised boxer shorts, so of course we needed to get a shot of that! Such a great group of guys.
The ceremony in the Rickety Barn was ever so touching; the look on Ben’s face was just priceless as Sophie walked down the aisle. The barn really does offer a special place to exchange vowels.
Throughout the day I enjoyed mingling with the guests and capturing everyone letting their hair down. When there were opportune moments I would take Sophie and Ben off for five-minute spells to capture some portraits of them both. This time is perfect for all bride and grooms to unwind and take in the day and come away with some lovely images in the process.
Creative After dark Photography
As many of you know I’m a big fan of the after dark portraits too, and this day was no exception, after we were treated to a gorgeous sunset, we then took advantage of a full moon and the stars above to create some beautiful images.
The dance floor was bouncing all night and a highlight of mine was the girls dancing to ‘rolling down the river’, a hen do anthem no doubt.
Sparklers at the end of the evening capped off an utterly superb day, thank you for letting me be a part of it.
Scrivelsby walled garden Wedding photography and photographer
Scrivelsby walled garden is a charming, rustic venue. It’s a relaxed setting surrounded by beautiful, well-kept gardens; perfect for creative wedding photography. The tipi’s offer a luxurious bohemian feel and vibe.
So when Sarah & Rob told me all about their plans at this venue I was super excited to be working there.
We had a fabulous engagement shoot around the Lincoln town centre, chasing the light and searching for cool compositions.
On the wedding day, the bridal prep flew by. I was amazed by how relaxed and composed Sarah was; it was refreshing to see. On arrival to the ceremony, Rob was also a picture of calm. Nothing fazed these two.
After a touching ceremony, we all made our way to Scrivelsby walled garden. On arrival I was blown away by how beautiful this venue was, there were so many creative options and cute little spots. We took our time exploring the grounds, making use of all the wonderful flowers in bloom.
Then the heavens open just at the right time for us all to dart inside to eat and indulge in some heartfelt speeches.
The weather cleared and we managed to get outside to explore the grounds further in search of the sunset, we were blessed with some magical light to play with.
Starlit evening
My most vivid memories of this wedding came during the after dark shoot; the stars shone above, and the fairy lights twinkled at twilight. I framed the happy couple in the trees and under a well, using a little pop of flash from behind to bring the scene to life; I absolutely love this image, it’s one of my all time favourites.
Thank you to Sarah and Rob for letting me be a part of your wedding day, I had a blast.
I remember this wedding day for all the right reasons – an awesome bride and groom, gorgeous weather and a fantastic venue.
I arrived at Irnham Hall bright and early on a beautiful spring day. Niki was full of excitement and she had a beaming smile on her face throughout her bridal prep. Niki and her bridesmaids all looked stunning in their dresses and within no time they were wedding ready. Just before we were due to leave for church the heavens opened which added to the drama. Thankfully, just as we turned up at ….. church the rain had passed and Niki, after a quick snack on some Pringles, was ready to get married. It was a lovely service with some really heartfelt moments. Andrew was in fine form and really looked the part.
Back at Irnham hall everyone mingled in the supurb walled garden grounds, this venue really does lend itself to a relaxed informal setting. The forecast was sunshine and showers, which created some dramatic lighting. I was keen to capture as much as I could for Niki and Andrew and they happily obliged to nip out for more photos. After some great speeches and fantastic food, the evening entertainment was underway; everyone got involved in right old sing-song. The light on many occasions was just perfect but none more so than around sunset time. We took a short drive up the hill so I could get a nice backdrop across Corby glen. It was magic, we spent 15 minutes with a glorious sunset before we headed back to continue the party long into the night.
