Alternative Wedding Photography:

I met Alice on the morning of her wedding where she was getting ready with her mum, sister, bridesmaids and family at a house near to the church. The kitchen was like a factory line with make-up, hair, ribbons, flowers and final touches for the wedding day all coming together in a whirlwind, masterfully organised by Alice’s sister.

The ceremony took place in a church in Cubbington with a very personal and intimate feel, amplified by a friend singing opera during the signing of the register. It was that good it made me stop and look up from the camera!

After the ceremony, we plugged a postcode into our SatNavs and took the winding roads towards Hill Farm in Priors Hardwick to what looked at first to be a huge cornfield, but on closer inspection a marquee sat in the distance. As guests arrived they began to pitch tents around the marquee, giving myself Alice and James time to capture some beautiful newlywed images.

Outside the marquee guests played garden games and even got to enjoy a rainbow as the rain battled with the sun. The traditional wedding breakfast stepped aside as guests were treated to a parade of cakes and cucumber sandwiches whilst Afternoon Tea was served.

During the course of the evening the speeches brought just the right amount of laughter and tears before the best man sang a number with the band and guests partied until the early hours…..I’m not quite sure how any of them found their tents in the darkness of the field.

This was a lovely alternative wedding to photograph and a pleasure to meet and share the day with Alice and James.

Enjoy.
