If there’s one ‘trend’ coming through weddings over the last year, it’s authenticity. You’ll find it in your styling and decor, in your outfits and most of all in your wedding photography. Having an authentic, natural wedding means being yourselves. Having every moment reflect who you really are as a couple: from choosing what you wear to creating a ‘look’ for your tables – if just one guest says, “I love it: it’s so YOU” – then you’ve nailed it. Authentic wedding photography means you get to keep that feeling forever. It’s why Sophie and Chris chose documentary wedding photographers York Place Studios to capture their wedding at High Billinghurst Farm.

This stylish Italian wedding is a treat. In fact, I’d go as far as to say it’s a dream. A luxury wedding in the Tuscany hills, planned by one of the very best! You can almost taste the spark of celebration in the air looking at these gorgeous pics of Taylor & Matt’s wedding.

Each day of their weekend-long nuptials was intricately realised by luxury destination wedding planner Elegante by Michelle J. From the welcome party styled with lemons for a Sicilian vibe, through to tables set with fragrant herbs in authentic aged terracotta pots on day three, the happy couple embraced Italian style with their wedding decor.

I’m the happiest wedding blogger in the world today! It’s a joy to be sharing this beautiful Somerset wedding with the most amazing bespoke gold dress for stunning bride Rae. Jason’s suit is the loveliest purple shade, and the happy couple look fabulous in every single picture. They chose Dorset wedding photographers and videographers Smiling Tiger Studios to capture their day.

Styling touches are simply lovely with fresh green taper candles and florals in green, purple and soft whites.

Rae & Jason’s North Cadbury Court Wedding – July 2023

Our first wedding of the month is a beauty – a gorgeous, head over heels in love couple and a wonderful setting. Hannah & Sam were married in Cornwall, had a really personal day and chose our friend and English Wedding member Hannah Timm Photography to capture their day. (They’ve shared a brilliant review for their favourite Cornwall wedding photographer below!) The venue is Roscarrock Manor Farm, the couple’s outfits are summery with a boho vibe, and the little personal touches are sweet as can be. As always, see more at @englishweddingblog over the next day or two!

I can’t quite believe it’s the last of August, can you?! I’m lucky my submissions inbox has been filled with beautiful weddings this summer, and Catrin & James’s day is a highlight! This gorgeous pair were married in Wales (more Welsh weddings please!) in a graceful, intimate celebration with closest family and friends. They chose lovely Dewi & Vicky of Fox & Bear Photography to capture their day – and it’s amazing. More, as always, on @englishweddingblog!
