.

I have wanted to capture a wedding at The Dreys for a while and I could wax lyrical about how it lived up to my expectations/was perfect for my style/approach/etc, because it did/was. It’s a fantastic, informal, woodland wedding venue. Rustic and full of character and texture.

BUT I would have loved shooting Lizzie, Emma and Podger’s special day ANYWHERE!!! Because when you connect with a couple (and their French Bulldog) and they are as special as Lizzie + Emma then it reminds you that weddings are about people and connections, emotion and energy! They have the power to make you laugh and cry and forget about the past 18 months.

WAFFLE ALARM

Here’s some highlights

Wedding photography is made so much easier when an awesome couple choose equally awesome suppliers! Wedding guests LOVE interaction and the simply bonkers brilliant “The Magnificent Kevens” roamed around and were perfect for the festival wedding vibe. Couldn’t recommend them highly enough!!!

As my Summer Weddings become Autumn Weddings, Lizzie and Emma hit that sweet spot with the last of that warm late summer sunshine but with the addition of that amazing autumnal colour palette, fire pits, s’mores, sparklers and sing alongs by the camp fire.

AND how awesome to gift every guest (and wedding photographer) a personalised wedding hoodie to combat that evening chill!!!
