A wedding day at Chippenham Park is always special. This luxurious venue offers some of the best backdrops and views in the business. The pristine grounds have so much potential; as a wedding photographer you’re spoiled for choice.
It was a beautiful late summers morning with blue skies forecast for Leanne & Jamie’s wedding day.
The bridal preparations flew by, and I had a great time getting to know the bridal party. In particular their two boys, what characters they were; I knew I was going to have some fun capturing their personalities.
The scene was set for a lovely outdoor ceremony, you can’t beat outdoor ceremonies on a beautiful day, and Chippenham Park has not one but two options for this.
The excitement was building as the ceremony came closer. What a memorable moment as her son walked her down the aisle to give her away, Jamie standing proud as he watched on. It was a heartfelt ceremony with many personal touches.
Leanne & Jamie didn’t want too much fuss, they opted for a more relaxed, reportage style of photography. I really enjoy this, being able to capture expressions and moments unseen. It’s also just as nice to capture the intimacy and closeness of a couple; this is best done when I take you off for some couples portraits, you can leave the prying eyes behind and just have five minutes alone. I always feel these times are good for the couple, just to breathe, relax and soak up one another before you head back to the guests.
Golden hour
After some entertaining speeches, the light was dipping, creating a gorgeous glow that I just couldn’t resist; we headed out for some golden hour romance, and those images turned out dreamy.
They partied into the night and topped the day off with a sparkler send off. Just an all round beautiful wedding, thank you for letting me be a part of it.
South Farm is the perfect wedding venue for my style of photography. The grounds offer limitless options for creative work. You have fields surrounding the venue, which are perfect for sunsets, and they have piglets’ onsite; what more do you need?
I just adored this wedding; it was jammed packed full to the brim with laughter, happy tears and banter.
Sam & Kristian had upbeat personalities, with such expressive mannerisms. They had a natural draw to the camera and made everything look so effortless.
The ceremony
An outside ceremony at South Farm is something special and theirs was such a joy to witness, one minute they were sobbing, the next howling in hysterics; talk about an emotional rollercoaster.
I enjoyed capturing the interaction with all their guests and family, everyone was in such fine spirits and they all made me feel welcome.
Throw in some memorable speeches, a cracker of a sunset and some dance floor moves like I’d never seen before; this wedding was an absolute winner.
I love working at new venues and I love shooting Christmas themed weddings, so Sarah and Rob’s Sussex Barn wedding was always going to be a winner.
The rain had just blown over on my arrival, making way for some drier conditions, which always helps at winter weddings. I was warmly greeted by the immediate family and assured anything I needed wouldn’t be too much trouble.
The venue looked amazing, with so many sweet, personal touches; I could tell they had put so much thought and effort into the way they wanted their venue to look.
The morning flew by and soon enough we were immersed in a touching ceremony, which had a heart warming ambience about it; it was a pleasure to witness.
Winter Weddings
Like most winter weddings, I tried to move fast and limit the amount of time people had to stand out in the cold. This is always a fine balance but we managed to capture some lovely photographs. We spent some time in the main house taking advantage of the Christmas light set up; I really love how these photos turned out.
The magician kept us all entertained with numerous amazing performances; a surprise snow machine, which had me fooled for a second, gave us a winter wonderland whilst guests dined on some yummy fish and chips.
Sarah & Rob were a joy to work with, you could tell they had a special, close bond which really shone through in their images. Thank you for letting be a part of your wedding day.
