TOM⚡NATALIE EAST MERSEA WEDDING BANGER WITH NAT & TOM⚡NATALIE

EAST MERSEA WEDDING BANGER WITH NAT & THE T MAN! I knew from the first few minutes of chatting to Natalie & Tom, when we just laughed and instantly connected, that this was going to be so much fun to capture as we were a perfect mix of mischief, romance, chill and neurospicy, and honestly it was a BLAST 🙂

This was my first time at East Mersea Hall, and WHAT a venue it is, the team were spot on and they helped the day run brilliantly, meaning T&N could really enjoy it and I think that is so obvious in the joy you see in these images we made! There was so much going on all over the place it was a job capturing it all, but the banter was top quality, all of T&N's guests and family were lovely to me, and the day flew by in a haze of laughter, love and happiness 🙂

Here are a few personal highlights from a truly wonderful day down in Essex on the stunning Mersea Island with the adorable Tom & Natalie 📸

BEN⚡NICOLA BROADWAY MEETS TRENT BRIDGE AT THIS BA BEN⚡NICOLA

BROADWAY MEETS TRENT BRIDGE AT THIS BARNS AT REDCOATS WEDDING SPECTACULAR WITH NICOLA & BEN! Holy moly, what a wedding, theatre obsessed Nicola and cricket obsessed Ben threw a massive party at the Barns At Redcoats at it was a DOOZY from start to finish!

I have never had so much laughter and banter on a morning, Nicola nearly died with happiness at Ben getting her a Monica from Friends wedding Funko Pop, and Ben doing a reveal to his parents was something really unusual and beautiful (his Mum was so emotional!)! Then we had a FIRST TOUCH between N&B, that was LUSH, before a truly memorable ceremony full of emotion, laughter and a brilliant live performance from their friends singing a song! This was followed by an EPIC confetti run, some hilarious canape stalking, before N&B made a grand entrance for the speeches where they actually wrote and sang a song LIVE all about their relationship dynamic that resulted in a standing ovation! YES!!

The rest of the day flew by in a blur TBH, the guests were all on top form, Nicola & Ben could hardly keep their mouths closed as they were laughing so much, it was bloody brilliant! Here are a few personal highlights from a total BANGER OF A WEDDING, massive congrats guys, you are PERFECT FOR EACH OTHER 🙂

JACK⚡DANIELLE WOODLAND WEDDING DREAMS COME TRUE F JACK⚡DANIELLE

WOODLAND WEDDING DREAMS COME TRUE FOR D&J AT CAPTAINS WOOD BARN! I had a blast at the incredible DIY wedding of Danielle & Jack at the stunning Captains Wood Barns, from the morning arrival of the Pissed & Broke Scooter Club (the Groom and Bestman lol) and a Dad & Daughter pre-ceremony pint, this entire wedding started ace and just continued all day long 🙂

A tractor ride through the forest brought Danielle & Ted to the amazing woodland area where Jack and all the guests were waiting for a beautiful celebrant lead ceremony that was full of funny stories, tears, laughter and of course love in abundance! You really can't beat a celebrant lead ceremony in my opinion 🙂

The rest of the day was super relaxed, with fish & chips and ice cream served for dinner, some hilarious speeches, and then a live band to really get the party started! Danielle & Jack were a joy of a couple, and I had so much fun with their wedding party and family, and I think you can see that in these personal highlights from a true banger of a wedding :)

GET THAT GUINNESS DOWN YOU DANIELLE 🙂

LARA⚡HENRY NEW ZEALAND TO HITCHIN FOR A SUPERFINE LARA⚡HENRY

NEW ZEALAND TO HITCHIN FOR A SUPERFINE WEDDING! I don't know where to start with this one, Lara dropped me a message on Friday telling me she had been let down by her photographer and could I capture her wedding to Henry in TWO days time, and although I was meant to be busy I soon changed my mind (and my plans!) as I loved chatting to both Lara & Henry, so I said YES to the proposal haha 🙂

WHAT A DAY! These guys, and all their family and friends, were UNREAL fun and made me feel welcome from the get go! Lara & Henry both live and met in New Zealand, but both have links to England via family, so it made sense to pick the beautiful tropics of (check notes...Hertfordshire!) to do the mighty deed! They choose the gorgeous St Helens Church for the stunning ceremony (including a traditional Maori blessing), followed by an incredible party at the ever wonderful Barns At Redcoats, and it was such a genuine privilege to be part of it and witness how obviously right for each other Lara & Henry are! 

HOW LUCKY AM I TO HAVE GOT THIS GIG! I am still buzzing, both Henry and Lara had me in fits of laughter for entirely different reasons, and I think under the circumstances they smashed it out of the park. I am honestly so fortunate that I get to do this as a job and I get the opportunity to meet such lovely humans as Henry and Lara, thank you for trusting me with you day, here are some personal highlights 🙂

Ngā mihi ki a kōrua!

DAVID⚡KATHERINE THE ONE WITH THE TWO PELHAMS IN T DAVID⚡KATHERINE

THE ONE WITH THE TWO PELHAMS IN THE HERTFORDSHIRE COUNTRYSIDE! I had the immense privilege of capturing the amazing wedding of David & Katherine at the weekend in the beautiful villages of Furneux Pelham and Stocking Pelham in the stunning Hertfordshire countryside and it was a BANGER!

Katherine grew up in the Pelhams, so coming home to do the mighty deed with David was really special, and being able to get ready at her childhood home with her parents really set the tone for an amazing day of high energy hijinks, emotion, mischief and an incredible amount of fun! I bonded with David over our shared neuro spicy life, and it was brilliant seeing the positives of that reality play out on the day as he really embraced the excitement and vibes, making Katherine laugh pretty much non-stop all day, and I don't think I have ever seen a groom have quite as much fun as David did and it rubbed off on literally everyone haha!

Here are a few personal highlights from a superb wedding with some truly lovely people 🙂

ALEX⚡LOU BIG COUNTRY VIBES & KICKING UP DUST AT T ALEX⚡LOU

BIG COUNTRY VIBES & KICKING UP DUST AT THE ALEX & LOU WEDDING RODEO! There are weddings and then there are weddings...Lou & Alex had one of the most insanely fun wedding days I have ever been part of and it was a honky-tonk hoedown of EPIC proportions!

This was a 3 part day, with a beautifully emotional first look between Alex & Lou, before a legal ceremony in front of close family. We then went for a lovely walk in Ampthill to visit Lou & Alexs favourite pub The Albion for a gorgeous small private reception, a game of cards, and some fun behind the beer pumps. Then they jumped into a pink Cadillac for a journey to the amazing Rushden Transport Shed for a the party to really begin...

Friends and family were gathered waiting for them to have a stunning second celebrant lead wedding (Lous amazing friend lead this) inside the incredible transport shed, full of laughter, joy and a brilliant reading by Poppy their awesome daughter. The rest of the day was filled with games, amazing food, some beautiful speeches, a fantastic wander around the old railway station platforms with Alex & Lou and a non-stop laughter & shenanigans. WHAT A DAY!

Here are a few highlights from an amazing day with two wonderfully perfect humans, I'm so glad Alex & Lou found each other, the love they share with each other (and Poppy) is genuinely wonderful! WEDDINGS EHH? ❤️
