I loved everything about this wedding. The venue had great, natural lighting, which is a must have favourite of mine, plus there were plenty of super sweet kids too, another of my favourite subjects!

Plenty of time and effort had gone into every little detail, from the confetti bags to the place names to the enormous number of homemade cakes! The ceremony had beautiful natural lighting, with gorgeous strands of fairy lights dotted along the roof, adding a little bit of sparkle.

The sparkly theme continued into the wedding breakfast room, with large oversized windows providing gorgeous amounts of natural light. The rustic barn looked dressed for the occasion with bunting, flowers and other delicate touches.

There were plenty of group photos, but mostly these were done in a very informal, fun kind of way, with Lucy and Pete making it up as they went along. It’s how I like to do things too. Formal, group shots are not my favourite part of a wedding day. They can interrupt the flow of the occasion considerably and the bride can sometimes get stressed out if guests aren’t in the right place at the right time. I understand why people want them, but I don’t think they capture the essence of the day quite like natural, candid shots do.

The speeches provided some very touching moments, and also some really funny moments too! When photographing speeches I like to get a balance of shots of both the person delivering the speech and the reaction of the guests.

We spent some time outside taking photos of just the two of them, before moving inside for dancing and cake. It was a super day all round.
