Tania + Andy – Somerset, UK

Tania and Andy’s relaxed, stylish and fun wedding at Brympton House in Somerset should be an example to everyone that demonstrates that when it rains, the party continues! The atmospheric backdrop of the manor house during a storm, coupled with Tania and Andy’s upbeat, positive and infectious energy came together to create a visually stylish, dramatic and authentic day.

Oh, and don’t forget the emotion! The small glances to one another, the deep embraces, the hugs with their parents mid-ceremony, music led by their close friend with so much passion and the oodles of other personal symbols of affection throughout, this celebration in the countryside mid storm really was a real treat for my eagle eyes…

Now for some words from Tania and Andy, or scroll down to see their fun and emotive wedding photos.

Before becoming engaged, did you have any preconceived ideas of what your wedding would be like? And if so, how did this change once you started planning?

We did! We thought we wanted a relaxed “festival” themed wedding in a DIY venue where we could really express ourselves. Something outside in the summer with tipis, lots of music and Glastonbury vibes.

How and why did you choose your venue(s)?

We went to visit what we thought was our dream venue (a farm venue in Somerset) and popped by an open day at Brympton House on the way back to London as a “wild card” to test our assumptions about what we thought we wanted. It was a dark drizzly January and the house looked so grand and romantic in the darkness. We fell in love. We were both quite shocked as it wasn’t what we thought we wanted but the house was so beautiful and the chance to get married in such an amazing venue – with that staircase! was too tempting. We thus decided we could bring the elements of the festival wedding that we wanted to the stunning and grand venue that was Brympton House.

What were your top one/three priorities in planning your wedding?

(1) Having the wedding party being able to stay on site for more than just the wedding day.

(2) Being able to party late.

(3) Being able to bring our own wine.

What one thing most surprised you during the build up to your wedding?

Honestly …. how awful the wedding venue treated us at every step of the planning process and then on the day and after! Their service level contrasted so acutely with the incredible service we got from all the third party providers, the band, cake lady, hair, videographer, photographer (of course!) were all a compete delight to deal with and could not have done more to help and put us at ease. Obviously this does not detract from how stunning the venue is in itself, what a location!

On a positive note we absolutely loved planning our wedding. It really was great fun to plan the food, readings, music, pick the flowers and just plan our perfect party! The build up – shopping for all the outfits, picking flowers and food, learning to do a few dance moves – all of these things provided wonderful excuses to spend more time with loved ones and build excitement.

We felt that one of the best ways to justify the cost of a wedding is to divide the cost by the number of days you look forward to it as that way it seems like a bargain :)

What one thing most surprised you on the day of your wedding?

Everyone says it, but honestly, how quickly it goes. It really was the fastest day of our lives! That’s why our advice to everyone getting married is two things:

(1) Try and stay relaxed and enjoy all the build up and planning as it’s all over in a flash; and

(2) Invest in a good photographer and videographer because at the end of the day after all the canapés have been eaten the photos and video are what you have left!

Of course the weather was also quite a surprise too. We had seen the forecast was not good but we were definitely not prepared for Storm Dennis and the torrential rain and 100mph winds. We had planned for rain so had lots of brollies but the wind meant they all were useless.

I suppose the lesson is don’t worry about the weather as the weather really could not have been worse for us. We didn’t get the beautiful photo by the lake which we had pictured when we booked but it did not matter at all. The storm made the atmosphere electric and made for a wedding no one will forget!

If you could do it all over again, which one thing wouldn’t you change, and if anything, what one thing would you change?

There were quite a few slightly unconventional things we did that friends and family advised against some example – making Oasis, Wonderwall one of our “hymns”, doing a joint speech, having a bridesmaids speech, Andy doing a DJ set at the end of the night. We also worried that our band (very dance music focused) were going to alienate the “older generation” but at the end of the day all these things were what we wanted and made us so incredibly happy all day that everyone else just buzzed off of our energy and happiness.

It’s hard to say what one thing we would change as we can’t imagine it any differently. We wanted everything to be super relaxed and didn’t want any time away from our guests however we probably wish we had spent just a bit more time getting photos with specific groups of people (like school friends, uni friends etc) as Barney had suggested to us before the day.

What advice would you give a couple planning their wedding?

(1) Stay true to what you want and don’t do things just to please other people or because you think it’s something you have to do.

(2) Don’t underestimate the importance of the photos and video. The flowers die, the food gets gobbled down, the dress ends up black (especially in storm Dennis!) but the photos and videos keep forever.

(3) Enjoy every second of the build up as it’s over so quickly and you will just wish you could do it all again.

Teresa + Adam – Como, Italy

Situated in Limonta, in the heart of Lake Como, you can fully understand the appeal of a Wedding at Villa Aura del Lago. The Lake itself, relaxed European culture, excellent food, holiday vibes and the… sun, sometimes (yes it does rain in Italy too!)

Whilst the sun was sadly absent for Teresa and Adam’s Lake Como wedding celebrations, this certainly did not hinder their ability to enjoy the miracle of their wedding, celebrating with their loved ones from across the globe in the heart of Lake Como.

I often remark that the level of enjoyment that any couple can experience from their wedding is directly linked to their mindset of the day. Rain is often viewed as a disaster when it comes to wedding planning. Whilst I have no doubt that Teresa and Adam were briefly disheartened when coming to the conclusion that a dry day simply wasn’t going to happen. I can attest to their positive mindset ahead of the day and the conviction that everything that was truly important didn’t depend on the weather, I hope the photos and story below highlight this.

Now for some words from Teresa and Adam, or scroll down to see their wedding in its full colourful Italian style glory.

Before becoming engaged, did you have any preconceived ideas of what your wedding would be like?

We always knew we wanted to get married abroad and Italy has always held a special place in our hearts. We holidayed and fell in love with the Italian lakes and knew it would be our place to get married.

How and why did you choose your venue(s)?

We chose Villa Aura del Lago for many reasons besides its charm and perfect location on the lake. What was important for us was to have a private venue, which could sleep guests and has its own facilities. We stayed at the villa for 3 days in total, the first couple of days we relaxed and made the most of the villa and also explored the lake with our friends and family. Another important criteria for us was to have the wedding ceremony and reception in the same place so we wouldn’t have to move guests around. Villa Aura is perfect for this, as it’s spacious enough to create different areas for the ceremony, aperitif and dinner.

What were your top one/three priorities in planning your wedding?

(1) A beautiful venue and location.

(2) An amazing photographer you can trust.

(3) Excellent food and drink – our guests always remind us how amazing the food was.

What one thing most surprised you during the build up to your wedding?

Covid meant we had to change our wedding plans and we were pleasantly surprised how accommodating all our suppliers were. They were very understanding and did everything they could to make it work.

What one thing most surprised you on the day of your wedding?

How everything came together on the day, just relax and trust your friends/family/suppliers to do their roles so you can enjoy the day.

If you could do it all over again, which one thing wouldn’t you change, and if anything, what one thing would you change?

We decided to use a wedding planner based in Italy, which was the best decision and something we wouldn’t change. We had to move the wedding because of Covid and they helped us make the right decisions and had everything under control the whole time.

We wouldn’t change anything! But what we were surprised by was how quickly the day flew by, so our advice would be to plan time for just you and your new husband/ wife to enjoy some private moments together.

In one sentence, or less, what advice would you give a couple planning their wedding?

Don’t worry about things that are out of your control, such as the weather. We were constantly checking the weather forecast weeks before the wedding hoping for sunshine. It rained heavily the entire day but it didn’t spoil anything, the sound of rain even made the atmosphere more romantic and the day very memorable!

A few kind words about us Teresa and Adam:

“Barney is truly an exceptional photographer, however what he delivers is far more than beautiful photos that we will cherish forever.

From the moment we spoke to Barney on a call, we instantly had a bond and built a relationship where I could trust his advice and ask him any question (no matter how silly it seemed) because he has a world of experience. Throughout the challenging months of 2020, we were uncertain whether our wedding would go ahead in Italy due to the pandemic. We had to reschedule our wedding from June to October and Barney did everything in his power to accommodate us.

He made us feel at ease and stuck with us during all the ups and downs. The weather on the wedding day was torrential rain and Barney helped us get some very dramatic shots, when there was a minute where the rain stopped we all ran outside and got portraits that we love.

Our family and guests have complimented our photos endlessly and I believe if you choose Barney and Poppy to capture your day, you will not regret it! Barney, it felt like you were part of the wedding group as a friend and you were so kind to all our family. (We) can’t thank you both enough!”

Steph + Jamie – London, UK

Let it be known that I love a winter wedding and this London Winter Wedding at Dulwich College was no exception. Let me explain why, or scroll ahead to the photos… My grandparents own a Christmas Tree farm. So as a child, I had many happy memories about what Christmas time meant. As a family, we’d come together not only for one day, or one-weekend for Christmas but for the entire festive period operating a family business, together and being with one another in the cold or sat by the fire drying off. As I aged a little I came to associate these short days, cold temperatures and Christmas decor with this feeling of connection, of being together with family.

As an intentional wedding photographer, I’ve become somewhat known for sunny wedding photos, “beautiful” destinations, hot climates and travel. I do genuinely love it. However, when the daylight hours shorten and December approaches, I love nothing more than to be in that fresh cold air with gloves on hands and a coat at the ready, it’s just who I am. So capturing weddings like the one below for Stephanie and Jamie at Dulwich College are a real pleasure, a unique insight into people lives at a time when we’re already feeling particularly ‘festive’, what a time for a wedding!

Now for some more from Steph and Jamie themselves, or scroll down to see their wedding in its full colourful winter glory.

Before becoming engaged, did you have any preconceived ideas of what your wedding would be like? And if so, how did this change once you started planning?

When imagining a wedding you often take inspiration from other people’s weddings that you’ve attended over the years. But once you properly start planning you realise how much the wedding gets shaped by your personal circumstances – so your budget, your family, your style, the time of year etc. It can end up being very different from how you imagined it, in a good way!

How and why did you choose your venue(s)?

Our love of food linked us with our venue, Dulwich College. We knew which caterers we wanted from theÂ get-go and it turned out that they were one of the College’s preferred suppliers. It was also right on our doorstep so was almost a no-brainer!

What were your top three priorities in planning your wedding?

1) Music, 2) Great food and 3) Keeping the wedding personal and authentic to us.

What one thing most surprised you during the build-up to your wedding?

Just how much preparation and planning is required. In the final week, a good friend recommended a wedding coordinator for the day, which was excellent money spent – she helped everything flow perfectly and we didn’t have to worry about a thing.

What one thing most surprised you on the day of your wedding?

It sounds like a cliche and quite obvious, but the most surprising thing was the overwhelming sense of joy and happiness we felt all around us on the day. Nothing quite prepares you for that!

If you could do it all over again, which one thing wouldn’t you change, and if anything, what one thing, would you change?

Wouldn’t change: We couldn’t have asked for better suppliers – in particular Barney. He was instrumental in the planning of the wedding and on the day was fantastic; remembering the tiniest details. Most importantly, his photos looked amazing!

Would change: It’s hard to pick anything because it was a really perfect day. Maybe we would have made sure we saw all the different parts of the wedding. For example, we were so busy dancing that we didn’t get a chance to sample our evening food (raclette) and use the photo booth we hired. Quite a small thing though – we were too busy having fun!

In one sentence, or less, what advice would you give a couple planning their wedding?

There are so many things to coordinate, so give yourself plenty of time to organise. We picked particular ‘Wedmin’ days when we went to a cool local hotel bar armed with our laptops, which was a fun way to do it.

A few kind words about us from Steph and Jamie:

My wife and I hired Barney for our wedding in London last year. He was fantastic and ticked every box, and then went above and beyond:

1. Amazing photos.

2. Incredible organisation and marshalling of people. You won’t believe how important that is with a large wedding.

3. Fantastic on a social level – which really helped with #2 above, remembering all the names of so many of our close friends and family, so he could organise bringing them in for photos without too much fuss.

4. Going above and beyond – he even noticed that some guests didn’t have their food so chased the catering staff.

5. We ordered a photo book with him, and it’s beautifully put together. Something to treasure!

Ruth + Simon – Kent, UK

I was first recommended to Ruth and Simon as their Bore Place Wedding Photographers in Kent by Simon’s sister who’d attended a wedding I’d photographed in Bali several years prior. Massive thanks to Christina! Simon’s sister also happens to be an established wedding videographer so the recommendation was all the more flattering whilst simultaneously creating some added pressure and excitement. For those who don’t know, Bore Place is a unique eco-conscious wedding venue in the heart of the Kent countryside, with a hefty quantity of open green space, it was a magnificent wedding reception choice for capturing plenty of outdoor fun of the relaxed happy couple and their guests.

Between rain showers, we were able to make use of the countless gardens on offer to us, as well as the magnificent fronted house of Bore Place house itself. After initially spending the morning at Bore Place with Ruth, Simon and their nearest and dearest, we (myself and videographer extraordinaire, Ben Foster) then headed to a nearby church (St Mary’s Church Hadlow) for a delightful ceremony and confetti followed by a soft top getaway for the couple. Upon returning to Bore Place the celebrations continued with many laughs, outdoor speeches and quick dashes to avoid the rain, all amongst an international group of friends and family from across the globe – I simply adore the diversity of an international crowd.

I can truly count my blessings for being involved in Ruth and Simon’s celebrations and a huge hat tip to Christina again for putting my name forward in the first instance!

A few words from the bride and groom, Ruth and Simon…

(or scroll down to see a highlights selection of their wedding photos)

Before becoming engaged, did you have any preconceived ideas of what your wedding would be like? And if so, how did this change once you started planning?

All we imagined was being surrounded by friends and family! We knew we wanted the day to feel personal to us and not a package deal. We felt it was important for the day to feel relaxed and enjoyable, we always kept that ethos in the planning too…

How and why did you choose your venue(s)?

Our first decision was the church. We chose to get married in St Mary’s in Hadlow. It’s a beautiful church and has close connections to Ruth’s family. Paul, the vicar, is great and really worked with us and listened to our ideas for the day.

When we found Bore Place, we immediately got a good feeling about the venue. It is a place that has real heart. It is also an environmental education centre with a vision of sustainability.

Bore Place is an eco, sustainable, wedding venue in the heart of the Kent countryside on a private 500-acre organic estate. It has beautiful wild gardens, a stunning Jacobean Manor House and large barn. We had many guests coming from abroad so we appreciated that it offered accommodation for 50 guests on site. There are many rooms and areas to explore, including Bore Place Gardens and vegetable patch, the Terrace for a champagne reception, the Library with toys for little ones to play and the Hide for outdoor speeches.

We had exclusive use of the organic farm and estate for 48 hours, which gave us the chance to spend time with friends and family before and after the event, enjoying the preparations and setting up. We were able to use and decorate the space as we wished, and make the day truly ours. The relaxed and special atmosphere of Bore Place felt right for us.

What were your top one/three priorities in planning your wedding?

A countryside setting able to accommodate 100 guests.

A relaxed, flexible and personal wedding planning approach.

Amazing photographer!

What one thing most surprised you during the build-up to your wedding?

We were surprised at how quickly the planning came together. We loved being able to build our own day, complete with Pimms and champagne reception, talented local florist, caterers – Spanish paella, evening sourdough pizza van, live ceilidh band, disco and sparkler run! Our meetings with Barney were so helpful too, his advice and expertise helped to shape the day and anticipate any hitches. He listened to our ideas and was in tune with the vibe we wanted to create.

What one thing most surprised you on the day of your wedding?

We truly loved every second! Barney really helped the day to run smoothly and he felt like one of our guests. He skillfully made sure that the schedule for the day ran smoothly and to time, even ensuring that we had precious time on our own as a couple.

If you could do it all over again, which one thing wouldn’t you change, and if anything, what one thing would you change?

We wouldn’t change any of it! Well actually, we’d probably have had the wedding the day before when it was really sunny and we could have eaten outside!

In one sentence, or less, what advice would you give a couple planning their wedding?

Enjoy it! Don’t stress on decisions, make them and move on. Do your research and work through step by step. Choose and invest in a great photographer, as these are the memories that will last forever!

Emily + Tom – Essex, UK

What do you look for in a wedding? Sophisticated, relaxed vibe, classic look, laughter, emotion, fireworks and black-ties, this sunny wedding at Blake Hall in Essex has it all! Before I’d even began my journey into the countryside for Emily and Tom’s Blake Hall Wedding Photographer in Essex I was excited for their day. I always have this extra excitement bursting out from within when I know I’ll recognise many of the faces in attendance. On this occasion, I had not only previously met Emily and Tom as guests at multiple weddings of their friends but I knew I’d have the opportunity to catch up with previous couples and guests. Happy faces are infectious, yet when you can relate and recognise those same faces it’s even more rewarding. Documenting a wedding is often an incredibly exhausting task, especially for 12 or more hours on a day when temperatures are in excess of 30C. Yet the added buzz from the visual emotions, laughter and familiar faces keep the endorphins running hour after hour – just don’t speak to me the next day! ;-)

If attempted, I’d fail to describe Emily and Tom’s superb wedding in Essex with as much gusto as it deserves, so rather than try, I’ll allow Emily to take it from here…

A few words from the bride, Emily…

(or scroll down to see a highlights selection of their wedding photos)

Before becoming engaged, did you have any preconceived ideas of what your wedding would be like? And if so, how did this change once you started planning?

Before becoming engaged I’d always wanted to get married abroad. I’d dreamed of walking down an aisle on the beach, barefoot, with the most amazing views behind us. But after being a guest at a few abroad we slowly come to the conclusion it wasn’t for us. I’m very hands-on and like to make and do things myself, so trying to lug our whole wedding on an aeroplane just wasn’t the best idea for us. We got engaged and after talking it through we decided we would prefer a wedding as local as possible, no more than an hour away so we could have all our close friends and family with us, and as I said I could get crafty and take everything with me in the boot of a car…or 3!!

How and why did you choose your venue(s)?

So we began looking for our dream venue no more than an hour from our home in Essex. It was hard going because after our engagement we had an abundance of weddings, mostly in Essex. We didn’t want to have a wedding that we had been to with our friends the previous year. Most were at beautiful stately home type venues, so we decided to look for more rural places. Barns began to take our fancy.

We looked at a few, but Blake Hall was our favourite. We loved the outside area and the barn where the ceremony took place. Neither my husband nor I had been to a wedding in a venue like Blake Hall so it was perfect. The little cottage where the bride and bridesmaids stayed the night before really did sell it for me in particular, it was just beautiful, I could see myself living in that little cottage! So we booked our wedding, bank holiday weekend, 25th August 2019 – one of the hottest days that year. And yes we did make the men wear black tie ;)

When planning our wedding we were adamant we wanted it to be fun but classy. Neither of us wanted to look back in years to come and think OMG why did I do that with my hair or pick that colour, we wanted it to be timeless. Also, we didn’t ever want our guests standing around bored or not knowing where to go or what comes next etc. So we made sure we covered all areas of the day. But as much as we wanted our guests to be happy, we told each other to not worry about them, or anything that happens on the big day and just enjoy it ourselves. I think you can so easily get wrapped up in worrying about if that person would enjoy that music or if this person would be happy sitting there. But you can’t please everyone so we set out to make sure that most of all WE were happy.

What one thing most surprised you on the day of your wedding?

I think I surprised myself by being so calm! The whole build-up, the day itself, was just a breeze. I fully expected to be a nervous wreck, but we planned everything and made sure all things were buttoned up so there was nothing to worry about on the day. Yes, a few things went wrong, but what can you do? If you get upset it would ruin your day, and its too late to change it or anything so you do really just have to shrug it off and enjoy it. Because what I noticed after when talking to my guests, things that had gone wrong, like missing flowers or something not quite how you’d asked it to be, the guests really didn’t notice at all.

If you could do it all over again, which one thing wouldn’t you change, and if anything, what one thing would you change?

We wouldn’t change a thing about our day. It really was the most perfect day ever! Hot, but perfect.

Holly + Dudley – Tetbury, UK

Even as Holly and Dudley’s wedding was still unfolding in front of me at The Great Tythe Barn in Tetbury back in 2019, I knew it would be a wedding to share. Why? Holly and Dudley radiate an honest and authentic connection with each other that is warming to observe. As a wedding photographer, I often describe myself as a “professional people watcher” and simply watching, capturing and being involved in their day was a true pleasure. Nothing about their celebrations went over the top yet their fun-loving nature, relaxed manner and positive outlook were infectious and something I believe I’m drawn toward – just like when you might be drawn towards a steady beat on the dance floor.

Holly and Dudley are located a heartbeat off the M4 in the Cotswolds so I was over the moon to accept an invite for a coffee at their home in the build-up to their wedding date. We discussed their vision of a relaxed wedding day at The Great Tythe Barn surrounded by countryside and a weekend, rather than a single day, of informal gatherings with their friends and families.

Without a doubt, they achieved their vision and I’m thankful for the invitation to witness and capture their gorgeous informal wedding in the Cotswolds.

A few words from the bride, Holly…

(or scroll down to see a highlights selection of their wedding photos)

Before becoming engaged, did you have any preconceived ideas of what your wedding would be like? And if so, how did this change once you started planning?

We always knew we would get married, it was just a case of when so we talked about it a lot before actually getting engaged. We wanted to get married in a barn with accommodation on-site so people could stay before and after to make a weekend of it. It was Dudley’s birthday the day before so this worked out perfectly! I think the only idea that changed was the food, we always thought we would want BBQ style food and a hog roast in the evening to keep it casual but after tasting the food we quickly changed our minds. We tried to keep it casual with long tables and an antipasti sharer starter board because we liked the social aspect.

How and why did you choose your venue(s)?

I (Holly) found it before we were engaged when looking online with my mum and then we arranged a visit when we got engaged. We liked that it was in the Cotswolds, local to us had accommodation on site and the barn was stunning. The team were really helpful and friendly from the beginning as well. An extra bonus was the pigs and donkeys!

What were your top one/three priorities in planning your wedding?

The venue, photographer/videographer and the food. The photographer/videographer was a non-negotiable for us as we wanted the best to remember our day.

What one thing most surprised you during the build-up to your wedding?

How easy it was to plan. We had heard from other people that it was really stressful to plan a wedding but we found it really fun and enjoyed all of it.

What one thing most surprised you on the day of your wedding?

How quickly it went. Again people had told us this but you don’t actually realise until the day.

If you could do it all over again, which one thing wouldn’t you change, and if anything, what one thing would you change?

It’s hard to pick one thing we wouldn’t change as we loved everything about it. If we could change one thing, we would only have had one best man speech rather than two.

In one sentence, or less, what advice would you give a couple planning their wedding?

Try to enjoy every aspect of it from the moment you start planning to the end of the day. And get a great photographer, it’s worth it!

A few lovely words about us from Holly and Dudley…

Barney captured the day beautiful, every single photo is incredible, we can’t stop looking at them! He was so lovely during the whole process and during the day, our guests even commented on how impressed they were. We couldn’t have asked for anything more perfect so thank you, thank, thank you!!
