A small and beautifully relaxed celebration at The Lygon Arms, with their two boys very much part of the day.
An outdoor ceremony, gorgeous summer sunshine and some lovely personal touches, including the rather special cake topper made by Dean’s dad.
I’m lucky to have The Lygon right here in the village and always love being back. Such a lovely choice for an intimate Cotswolds wedding.

I love watching the transformation on a wedding mo I love watching the transformation on a wedding morning. 🤍
From sitting in your PJs with a glass of fizz, to hair and makeup, stepping into your dress, fastening those final buttons and adding the veil… and then that lovely moment when you look at yourself and suddenly feel like a bride.
I’m there quietly capturing it all as it unfolds — not just how beautiful you look when you’re ready, but all the little moments that got you there.
And that final portrait? Absolutely worth the wait. 

Beautiful Sophie in her stunning @suzanneneville dress💗

Planning an autumn wedding? 🍂 Don’t feel you have Planning an autumn wedding? 🍂
Don’t feel you have to follow the traditional wedding rulebook. Wear the colour, bring the parasols, choose the details that feel completely you.
I love photographing weddings with personality, and my job isn’t to make your day look like anyone else’s. It’s to capture all the things you’ve chosen, just as you imagined them.
So whether that’s a white wedding dress, a glorious red embroidered robe, or a little of both, I’m here for it. 🤍
Autumn dates are still available, so do get in touch if you’re planning something a little bit you.

Ellie & Tommy 🤍 After their ceremony at St John th Ellie & Tommy 🤍
After their ceremony at St John the Baptist, Ellie & Tommy’s wedding party led everyone back to the castle on foot; musical instruments in hand! Such a fun way to get the celebrations started.
Ellie had given Fi at Corky & Prince one very clear instruction for the flowers: no pink. The beautiful nude palette they created looked so good against the terracotta walls of the Great Hall, especially once the table lamps were glowing for dinner.
A fabulous team of suppliers, with Holly Rose Weddings at the helm, brought it all together beautifully.
And the party? I think we’ll save that for another post. 🤍

WEDDING DAY TIP 🤍 TWIRL THOSE NAPKINS! If you’re m WEDDING DAY TIP 🤍
TWIRL THOSE NAPKINS!
If you’re making a big entrance into dinner, get your guests to grab their napkins and twirl them in the air as you come in.
Not everyone will think to do it naturally, but once a few people start, everyone joins in — and it creates such a fun welcome (and a brilliant moment to photograph!).
A tiny thing that brings a LOT of energy. xx
