Intimate Garden Wedding Celebration in Congleton, Cheshire

It was great to have you and the photos look so great!!
We’re really really pleased with them.
Thank you so much!!

Having had to reschedule their wedding from earlier this year because of lockdown Lucy & Isaac finally tied the knot at New Life Church in Congleton, Cheshire. With their family and friends present the ceremony was a wonderful show of love and togetherness. The service was also live streamed for those that were unable to attend from around the world.

After the bride and groom ran through the confetti tunnel of love it was back to a family members garden for the evening reception. My wedding photography takes me all over the country and has enabled me to document large weddings with hundreds of guests and smaller mircroweddings with just a handful of people. Each one is completely unique and special which is what I love about wedding photography!

Holding a wedding reception in a garden doesn’t mean you can’t have speeches, a sit down meal, cake cutting, dancing or creative wedding portraits! With Isaac and his family being Greek the meal was a delicious Greek feast that went down a treat. The speeches took place on the patio just as the sun was setting and the first dance was the catalyst for the guests to create some crazy shapes! I love the challenge of creating great portraits in sometimes limited spaces. With a little bit of thinking outside the box I was able to come up with some creative images simply by using the natural environment around me. I even managed to squeeze in a large group shot! Garden weddings are simply awesome, what a wonderful wedding day!

Kim & Pete - Fun English Country Garden Wedding In Newport Pagnell

I arrived at Kim's parents home in Newport Pagnell near Milton Keynes to start the bridal prep and was instantly met by huge smiles and made to feel like part of the family. I knew straight away that this was my type of wedding!! Kim & Pete made it clear to me they wanted natural, fun, candid photos that focussed on not just them but much more on their friends and family kicking back and relaxing!  

I shoot tons of weddings every year but it's safe to say that this was right up there as one of the most relaxed. Kim & Pete made it their own with the wedding reception held in a marque in Pete's parents back garden that included everything from skipping ropes, a kids entertainer, hoola hooping, trampoline as well as fish and chips! With no speeches, sit down meal, official first dance or group shots it felt like a massive summer party! Congratulations to you both and thanks for making me feel so welcome! :-)
