Flitwick Manor Wedding Photography • Documentary Wedding Photography • Hugh and Bethany

Hugh and Beth were a joy from the moment I met them to talk about their day through to designing and delivering their finished album. They knew what they wanted, and were super organised and on top of all the little details to ensure that their day went without a hitch. 

In the stunning village of Flitton I was able to capture both mornings, heading to Hugh first and then onto Beth in her parents stunning newly built home. Being so close to each other I loved going back and forth between the two, following Hugh into the pub beforehand for a cheeky drink! 

I felt instantly like a member of the family rather than just a photographer, they were all so welcoming and friendly and let me into intimate details and funny nicknames that join them so closely as a family. And what a family! Weddings are all about two people in love joining their lives, but this one felt like it was two families in love! 

The joy throughout the day and the fun had by all was so heart warming, all sides mixed as if there were no sides (mentioned also in their sign outside the church), dancing was continuous throughout the day, as was the laughter. 

Every moment was filled with joy; the heart bursting pride and love felt by Beth‘s parents as they opened their gifts, the drinks shared between both fathers before the ceremony, the lighting of candles by both Mothers, everyone waving them off outside, the dancing to the Saxophonist, the dance offs, the heat induced fan waving during speeches, the father daughter dance that turned into full family cuddles...I could honestly go on for days.

This wedding was just pure love in a day, I know that these two and their families will be like this forever! What a magical happy ending!

The Royal Berkshire Hotel Wedding Photography • Documentary Wedding Photography • Nathan and Nicola

This wedding day was a long time coming. Originally planned for 2018, Nicola’s father had a horrific accident which rocked everyone to their core, with the prospect of not having her father to walk her down the aisle Nicola postponed her wedding day for a year. I’m over joyed that the gorgeous Royal Berkshire Hotel were able to give them another date, and I made sure that I was available for the new date too. 

So finally the day came, and as it was a year later than planned, Nathan and Nicola also had their handsome little boy there to celebrate with them! As you can imagine, the emotions were very high and I felt myself, along with everyone else in the room tear up when the stunning Nicola walked down the aisle with her Father beside her. 

The weather smiled on us too, letting us have a fab confetti line out onto the lawn and allowed us to wonder around the grounds leisurely for the couple shots. Everything really did come together, it was so touching to also have a quiet moment in the walled garden for Nicola’s Aunt and Uncle to give them a blessing, I felt honoured to be able to witness such power and love in words, and to be part of such an intimate moment.

The day continued without a hitch, speeches were fabulous fun and the dancing got everyone’s heart going as Nicola’s dad decided to learn the new skill of tipping his wheelchair backwards, giving just about everyone a heart attack whilst he was cracking up! 

Here’s to the newly weds, here’s to fate and love, here’s to trusting in things far greater than other selves.
