So much about wedding photography is in the unique details each bride thinks of, and Sarah Vivienne (my second shooter for the day) and myself had loads of lovely things to capture – from Pip’s gorgeous Christian Louboutins to the French themed tableplan. We were in photography heaven!

I particularly loved the simple and chic choices Pip had made for the day, especially her bespoke wedding dress by Ellie & Charlotte – which came with lovely handwritten note to Pip from the designers and her beautiful white wedding bouquet of hydrangeas by Lucy the Florist of The Luxe. Pip and James also had the most amazing chinese wedding cake from the Golden Gate Cake Shop.

Another one of the highlights of the day was the surprise singing waiters from Soprano Bella Entertainment who arrived after the main meal to the delight of the guests. I absolutely loved the reactions from everyone!

The whole day was really intimate, super relaxed and fun, and was filled with a literary theme of A Midsummer’s Night’s Dream as both Laura and Harry are keen readers and the wedding itself was held on Midsummer’s day!

Laura looked stunning in her vintage dress, which was bought from Fur Coat No Knickers in London. It’s so great to see brides choosing dresses and other details completely unique to them and I *heart* this shop!!

The ceremony was held outdoors and all the guests sat on benches – and the weather was really kind, which was a big bonus! As part of the ceremony, Laura and Harry also planted a tree in the garden and invited all their guests to fill it in with earth – a lovely lasting memory for the two of them every time they visit Laura’s Dad!

For the portraits, Laura, Harry and I headed off in my car to make use of a fabulous textured barn door just down the road and then the hedgerows and a field of corn provided gorgeous backdrops en route back to the party!

The reception was held in giant yurts and was catered by the wonderful Utterly Sexy Cafe, who I’ve worked with on a few weddings now. They did a stellar job and provided just the perfect atmosphere with the fresh and healthy food and vintage china table decor. Amanda from Utterly Sexy Cafe also created the gorgeous wedding cake, which was made custom for the couple based on their wedding theme. The stunning flower arrangements were by the fab Joanna Game.

Enjoy the photos!

Sam looked fabulous in a lacy vintage-look gown and glamourous jewellery from Magpie Vintage, and all the bridesmaids wore sweet blue tealength dresses.

The weather was perfect, which was just as well because the space at Nether Winchendon House was stunning for an outdoor wedding. Sam had decorated the big tree with hanging hearts and there were loads of outdoor games like skittles and giant jenga which the guests all enjoyed! I loved the Pimms fountain as well!

Just after I said goodbye to Jonathan and Ela’s lovely album a couple of days ago, I then got back Kate and Jonathan’s from the album manufacturers. Also with a metal cover, which I think has to be my fave choice, they had a scrummy dark wine leather accent.

Isn’t it beautiful!

They chose a very cool metal cover combo which looked amazing with the industrial style portrait we did on their wedding day.

Bee is a stunning eco-chic Piaggio with the perfect amount of room for a boot full of freshly picked flowers. Bella, Fifi and myself (squeezing into a space surely meant just for one!) went out for a little drive on Friday around Clifton to capture the Bee’s powder green gorgeousness against the Bristol city landscape

Bella and Fifi themselves were a bit camera shy, but I managed to convince them to do a few pics!
