Maddie & Lee’s Summer Garden Wedding

Maddie and Lee celebrated their wedding with a gorgeous Summer garden wedding reception, surrounded by their nearest and dearest at the family home, A stunning location in Bampton, Oxfordshire.

The garden was immaculate and aside from a very short few minutes of rain, the day unfolded with hardly any umbrellas needed.

I love the intimacy of a summer garden wedding, and have captured many over the years. You can view more here.

An incredible experience and beautiful memories to cherish

As a documentary wedding photographer, I’m drawn to the relaxed intimacy of garden celebrations. There’s no rigid structure — just the natural rhythm of the day unfolding in your own way. Guests sipping drinks on the lawn, barefoot children chasing each other between flower beds, and quiet moments stolen beneath the trees.

Summer light is a dream to photograph — warm, flattering, and full of life. I always make time for golden hour portraits, when the sun dips low and everything is bathed in that soft, cinematic glow. These are the images you’ll treasure most — real, emotional, and timeless.

If you’re planning a summer garden wedding and want photography that feels honest, elegant and full of soul, I’d love to hear more about your plans. Let’s create something that reflects the true joy of your day — natural, beautiful, and entirely you.
