I had been in touch with Z & R for a bit. We chatted during the enquiry process and then during the wedding preparation. They came across as a friendly couple who had strong values and a good idea about how they would like their wedding day to go.  They had many ideas but their main wish was to have a relaxed day with their family and friends. They had a non-religious ceremony that was followed by readings and messages from their dearest that were meaningful to them. The day started with my good friend Emil Boczek capturing the boys getting ready whilst I documented the bride getting ready. Emil produced some great images (some included in this blog). It was also great to have Adam Szczepanski along to capture some video for the bride and groom. It was great to work with some friends!

The morning was fairly relaxed but with some last minute touches going on as I arrived to the venue. It was nice to see friends helping out, it shows how much they care in helping achieving the bride and groom’s vision. Z & R had opted for a first look before the ceremony. It was an opportunity for them to see each other and spend a few minutes before the ceremony. It was lovely to see! The ceremony then started and it was followed by a bubbles shower before gets being offered drinks and canapés. It was one of those lovely summer days we’ve had, very hot with blue skies.

Hayne House is a lovely venue with lots of areas to explore. There are the gardens which also provide some welcome shade on a hot day, and of course some indoor areas that the guests can use. There is a lot of areas also to take the bride and groom for portraits. Consistent, with my style, I took them for a short session before dinner and then another short session at sunset. They also had an outfit change before dinner, so it was great to have two short sets of portraits with their different outfits. The meal was lovely as were the speeches. All of them very personal, meaningful and relevant to the bride and groom. The evening then followed with the first dance. We stayed for a bit after the first dance, before saying our goodbyes to the bride and groom.

It was a really lovely wedding. The bride and groom were very friendly and fun to be around and we really enjoyed capturing their wedding day. Below is a selection of the favourites from their day, I really hope that you like them!

The venue has a dedicated room for the bride and bridesmaids to get ready and it is there where I started the coverage of Heather and Marc’s wedding day. The mood was fairly relaxed with a pinch of excitement and anticipation. It was a short walk to the barn where the ceremony took place. It was a short and lovely ceremony before everyone headed outside for drinks and canapes. The light was beautiful on the day and we took a few portraits at that time before heading inside for the wedding breakfast and speeches. Heather and Marc had opted for a game of Mr. and Mrs instead of a first dance. It was really fun and everyone enjoyed it with many funny moments throughout!

It was a lovely wedding day, in the spirit that I like documenting weddings. A relaxed coverage with people enjoying themselves and enjoying each other’s company. I got on with Heather and Marc very well a lovely and caring couple, who looked fantastic on their wedding day!

Alexis, I cannot thank you enough for the wonderful gift that you have given us!! That sounds super cheesy – but your wedding day flies by and you don’t really appreciate every moment for what it is – your photos have allowed us to revisit the day and bring back a tone of memories! We have looked through them once a day since we received them and each time you notice something different. Along with your talent, I suppose that is the wonder of documentary photography. You can literally look back over your day (and the separate contained events within) and remind yourself f how it all went!  Your skill is fantastic – there are some photos there (especially of the children, I noticed) that I will print out and give as gifts to the parents for Christmas as they are simply just beautiful. You caught key moments well as well – expressions/ faces/ laughter and they really are just fantastic. We really cannot thank you enough. Is there a place to leave formal feedback at all? On your website maybe?
