Wedding photographer review

Hannah couldn’t have done a better job of capturing the colourful and fun atmosphere of the day! She really listened to what we wanted, and made the most of every great photo opportunity, whether that be when the sun was shining, or in the evening as the sun was setting. She was also brilliant at coordinating our guests to get the best possible shots! Post the wedding Hannah was amazing at getting us a selection of photos very soon after our wedding and when we then received the final photos these were presented on a really easy to use and follow website link, which made it so easy to follow the flow of the day. She also sent us a lovely selection of photos that felt really premium.

Your best wedding moment or memory

Being on the dance floor with our arms around all of our friends and family in a circle before we had sat down for dinner dancing to ‘I love you baby’ played on the Sax by (Lucy Harvey)

Tell us anything you did differently – we love hearing about NEW traditions (or none at all!)

We started the day with a yoga class at the venue which my friend did for us, that was such a nice relaxing way to start the day! Those staying on site and in the nearby area came to join in. We then went down to the beach for a morning dip! We did a raffle at the dinner and gave away some items that had a bit of a funny relevance to us. We used cake toppers relevant to our nicknames (Our friends call us Gromit & Coy so we had a Gromit dog on one cake and a Coy fish on the other).

Venue name + review

Roscarrock Manor Farm – A lovely venue, with several lovely spaces we were able to utilise for our wedding. The views for our ceremony were beautiful! Outside of this Robert and Phil couldn’t have been more helpful with trying to ensure our day went as smoothly as possible. We had a few weather challenges and they really did do all they could to help us work around it!

Tell us a little about your outfits – both of you!

My dress was of a more bohemian style, a halterneck laced dress without a train so i could keep dancing in it for the full evening! Sam was dressed in a summery, less formal chino, jacket and a floral bowtie.

Florist name + review

Cornishmoorflowers – Beautiful dried flower bouquets, based on what we had requested. They were exactly as we wanted and they even drove them to the venue for us to ensure they were not damaged in delivery. Greys and Green Flowers – Rowena supplied a lovely selection of cut flower buckets, so myself and the bridesmaids could spend the afternoon creating our own small flower arrangement in bud vases. She was very accommodating and supplied more than enough cut flowers for us.

Cake maker name + review

Fees in Cornwall supplied a Chocolate Guinness and an Orange & Almond cake which were both very tasty and guests loved that they were a bit different to a typical wedding cake.

Stationery maker’s name + review

EveryGoose – Imogen at Everygoose created a design based on the view of the venue and this was used across our Invitations, Welcome sign and other stationery. It was so unique, she is very talented!

• Rhubarb gin shots
• A wooden stained board for guest messages
• A photo of us with each guest in their place setting

Wedding readings?

Our celebrant was a close friend of both of ours who we have both known as long as we have been together. My younger sister read a poem she had written about us as our reading. We sang ‘Ain’t no Mountain High Enough’ in the ceremony which was played by Lucy Harvey on the Sax.

Musical entertainment

Our Saxophone player Lucy was amazing and really set such a fun positive tone for the rest of the day!

First dance song? Playlist recommendations?

George Ezra – All My Love Love Story Taylor Swift was perfect for the confetti!

Wedding planner name + review

Wedding Coordinator – Sophie Walker – the prep of our wedding was quite chaotic due to some high speed winds so we weren’t able to do any set up until after 10am on the morning of the wedding. Sophie was amazing in turning it all around so quickly with minimal stress! The day wouldn’t have gone ahead without her.

Wedding photographer review

Kayleigh has been wonderful to work with from day one. Her relaxed and friendly approach paired with such professional and high quality work makes for a dream combination.

Your best wedding moment or memory

Our ceremony had to wait a few minutes whilst Matt ran from the church to move our getaway car since it was blocking the road for a tractor… I had to hide to avoid being seen but it broke the ice and makes for a good story to tell! Matts mum, Sarah, also found several 4 leaf clovers the morning of the wedding which were in a little vase on the top table for us when we sat down – they are being pressed with some of our flowers for us to keep.

Tell us anything you did differently – we love hearing about NEW traditions (or none at all!)

We had a cheese cake (cheddar, brie etc) instead of a wedding cake and guests were invited to try their hand at welly throwing to add a spot of country competition to the day!

We hired trees from Wild trees in Langford to add to the marquee, they looked magical and helped us keep a simplistic nature theme without hundreds of flowers.

Venue name + review

Burrow Farm Gardens – Absolutely beautiful and a dream to work with. We were incredibly lucky with the weather and our guests loved being able to explore the gardens during the afternoon.

Florist name + review

Busy Bee Florist, Axminster

Ali is incredibly talented, she sat and made lots of notes as I described my vision. I was absolutely blown away when the bouquets arrived on the day, they were everything I had hoped and the additional flowers for the church/reception looked wonderful too.

Any crafty projects or homemade styling touches?

We had name places made from shotgun cartridges and our tables were all named after mountains we have climbed together with matching stationery.

Wedding rings

We made our wedding rings (Matt made mine, and I his) with Carole in Cornwall several months before the wedding – a really special experience and one I would recommend to anyone! https://www.caroleallenjewellery.co.uk/product/make-wedding-rings-cornwall/

First dance song? Playlist recommendations?

I See The Light, Tangled – Matt is a huge disney fan and the song was particularly appropriate for us.

Hair + makeup name + review

Laura Le Page

I absolutely loved every minute of having my make up done, my skin felt so natural and fresh whilst achieving a really special look for the day. Despite it being the hottest day of the year it lasted well and Laura helped me prepare with a few essentials for topping up throughout the day. My bridesmaids were also delighted with their look.

Jessica Faye

Jess is an all round gem to have involved in your wedding, she’ll bring the energy and fun and effortlessly creates such lovely styles. A last minute change of plan due to the weather was no problem and Jess helped me create a look I think I like even more than my plan A!

String quartet

Obligato String Quartet – such a special addition to our ceremony and a beautiful way to set the scene for our drinks reception.

The seaside wedding vibes are captured perfectly with the dried floral arrangements and beautifully styled tables. The natural dyed silk table runner gives a relaxed and pretty backdrop to the exquisite florals, which combine fresh blooms and grasses in soft tones – I think they’re absolutely stunning.

Wedding photographer review

Jodie photographed our wedding in June 2023 and we could not be happier with the results! Jodie (and Holly who assisted) captured the day beautifully and were happy to get involved in photographs in fields with horses, rowing boats and more! The photographs perfectly depict the happiness and joy we felt throughout the day and we feel very lucky to have such wonderful photos to look back on in the years to come. We received some sneak peaks that we could share the day after our wedding which were wonderful to be able to share with family who couldn’t make the day, and the rest of our photos we received only a few weeks later, edited perfectly showing the story of our day. Jodie had some fantastic suggestions and ideas on confetti shots and locations creating some of our favourite photographs of the day. We couldn’t have wished for anything more. Thank you Jodie x

Your best moment or memory

Lauren: The best moment for us both was when I arrived and the music began to start walking down our aisle. For me it was the realisation that all our friends and family had joined together to help us celebrate and knowing we were moments away from being stood together again and sharing how much we wanted to share the rest of our lives together.
Nathan: It’s hard to pin down one specific moment but after much consideration it would be seeing Lauren in her dress for the first time. We had spent the previous day apart and I stood nervously under the oak arbour on the island we would say our vows and the second I saw her everything melted away like it was just the two of us.

Tell us anything you did differently – we love hearing about NEW traditions (or none at all!)

We knew that we didn’t want a traditional church wedding, however we did want some form of ceremony. My husband knew of handfasting which is an ancient wedding custom where different coloured individual ribbons are placed over the couples joined hands by the celebrant. we where lucky enough to have a family member Duncan step up and provide a beautiful ceremony, and our mothers laid the ribbons over our hands. The ends of the ribbons are then tied into a knot to represent commitment to each other. This was such a special, symbolic moment and something many of our guests had never heard of before.

Wedding venue:

Three Shires Weddings

We are very lucky that this venue is actually our home. We had known since a family wedding the previous year that we would like to offer the area as a wedding venue as it gave us so much freedom to have any style and quirks we would like without the restrictions of many already set up venues. Once we had chosen the space where we would like to conduct the ceremony (island accessed by a wooden bridge) and reception (grass area at the end of the lake) we had the freedom to build our dream wedding, in our case using 2 tipis, decorated by family with bunting and various flowers and greenery all sourced locally from family gardens and hedgerows! The outside space extended into an orchard again decorated with bunting as well as hay bale seating, hammocks and fire pits for keeping warm into the evening (and for some marshmallow roasting!).

Tell us a little about your outfits – both of you!

Nathan: I knew from the beginning that tradition tails were not going to be my style at all so Myself and my grooms men wore a simple sage tweed 3 piece brought from Next with forest green ties to match in with the bridesmaids and our outdoor natural aesthetic.
Lauren: I wore a fitted column dress from Wed2b with a short laced train and off the shoulder, 3/4 lace sleeves. It turned out to be a very warm day so I was glad the dress was lightweight!

Florist name + review

Sam the flowerman based in Banbury. These guys were great as they created my bridal bouquet, bridesmaids bouquets, button holes and an extra bouquet for my late grandfather. The flowers in the tipi and around the venue were all kindly created by my mum and other family members and friends. The flower wicket baskets were a personal favourite as well as the wild flower bouquets in the wooden boat from my mother in law sourced from wild wood based in Farnborough. We later received a wonderful gift from DJCreations of some of our wedding flowers in resin which a great unexpected gift and keepsake from the day.

Stationery maker’s name + review

Our save the dates and wedding invites were made and printed on canva. We chose not to have menus but the name places were kindly written in calligraphy by a friend.

Any crafty projects or homemade styling touches?

Quite a few! We investing in a Cricut a year before our wedding which I would recommend to anyone getting married soon! We created various signs including for our guest book and for a tea and coffee station. We chose to give homemade favours of wildflower seeds pouches made by my lovely sister Hannah. We chose to name our table after flowers which were beautifully painted onto plaques by DJCreations and were the perfect finishing touch to our tables. The arch under which we held the ceremony was made by Nathans brother and elegantly decorated by my talented sister in law.

Wedding readings?

We had 2 readings at our wedding, one by my Uncle Dave was from Corinthians and one by Elizabeth which was a prayer to Freyja (Norse)

Wedding photographer review

Sam was really chilled and specialises in candid photographs which is exactly the vibe we wanted for our wedding. He put us totally at ease with his no fuss approach and really went with the flow.

Your best moment or memory

Walking back up the aisle as newlyweds with all our family and friends around us is a feeling I don’t think we’ll ever top.

Tell us anything you did differently – we love hearing about NEW traditions (or none at all!)

We decided very early on that we both wanted to walk down the aisle seeing as we’re both brides. We also opted for a pastel rainbow cake as our way of incorporating a little bit of pride into our day!

Venue name + review

Chilli Barn
Leah and all the staff at Chilli Barn couldn’t have been more helpful and nothing was too trouble. The barn is an intimate venue with stunning countryside views and everyone commented on how beautiful it was.

Tell us a little about your outfits

April – My dress was very me! A boho/fairy vibe with a lace top and tulle skirt. I felt that it really suited the venue and I felt ethereal the whole day.
Zoe – I opted for a suit, I’m not really the dress type. Like April I kept it very me so casual and comfy but in pink! Trousers and a waistcoat and custom embroidered converse.

Dress or suit shop name + review

April’s dress is handmade from a lovely shop on Etsy – Lady Versus.

Florist name + review

We went DIY with our flowers and handpicked all the flowers for our bouquets, aisle arch and tables from an artificial flower wholesalers. It really allowed us to put our own stamp on the little touches.

Cake maker name + review

Little Dumplings Cakes. We’re vegan so finding a vegan wedding cake maker narrows the search considerably! Little Dumplings makes the nicest vegan and allergy friendly cakes in the world. We opted for a pastel rainbow rather than traditional white and it went down a treat with all the guests.

Stationery maker’s name + review

We used various small businesses from Etsy to make up all of our wedding stationery. We love supporting small local people.

Any crafty projects or homemade styling touches?

Chilli Barn is an amazing venue where they let you decorate as you wish so we really let loose our inner crafters. We picked classic books for our table names and built our centrepieces around each book with natural log slices and candles and delicate wildflowers. We stained some used wooden crates to make our table seating chart as well as using a heart-shaped stamp to cut paper hearts out of books to sprinkle around the tables.

Wedding readings?

We had 2 readings, both done by family, from the bible – Jeremiah 29:11 and Psalm 139:14 We are a part of a church so this was really meaningful for us.

First dance song? Playlist recommendations?

Not traditional at all but we chose Y’all Means All by Miranda Lambert as featured on season 6 of queer eye. The thought of slow dancing filled us with dread so we went for the complete opposite. Playlist recommendations – our playlist was filled with all things 00’s and pop punk – think Busted to All Time Low with a healthy mix of Lucy Spraggan and country thrown in.

Hair + makeup name + review

April really enjoys doing makeup and wanted to do her own (and by extension that meant Zoe too).

Wedding photographer review

We felt very relaxed with having Joss part of our day and felt very comfortable with him taking our photos. We are absolutely in love with the images and feel that Joss has captured the day so well.

We would highly recommend Joss, he was just amazing from our first meeting we had with him. He genuinely felt like a friend and it was great having him at our wedding. Joss was so organised from when we first booked with him and throughout. He has given us the most amazing photos to treasure for years to come.

Venue name + review

The Venue Bowers Mill

We got married at the Venue – Bowers Mill. This was the only venue we looked round, we walked in and instantly fell in love with it. The venue was so different with its industrial feel and very relaxed vibe and we just knew straight away it was the right place for us to get married. We would definitely recommend this venue, everything was perfect and the staff were amazing. We had eaten here on a few occassions before our wedding day and we knew the food was going to be fantastic which it was.

Tell us a little about your outfits – both of you!

I visited Off The Peg Bridal a couple of times, the first time I didn’t quite find the right one but on the second visit I found my dress. All I can say about that is that I tried it on and just instantly knew that I loved it and still felt like me.

Florist name + review

The Flower Box Meltham

I walk regularly past our local florist and so one day just popped in and spoke to the florist about our wedding. I explained what I like/don’t like but then said that I would leave it up to her to put together what she thinks (as she’s the expert, not us). Our florist was amazing and I couldn’t have been happier with the flowers. They felt elegant and looked beautiful and got lots of complements.

Cake maker name + review

Well Vicky and her family have an obsession with M&S Colin the Caterpillar cakes (who wouldn’t), James has also got on board with the love of them. So we just thought, why not.. a giant Colin and Connie beat a fruit cake anyday. We had loads of complements on the cake and we’re so pleased we went for them, it was another talking point.

Any crafty projects or homemade styling touches?

We bought charity badges for Dementia UK for all our guests in lieu of favours. This felt a special touch to both of us due to personal circumstances. We used place names for our tables that were special places to us, we put a photo of us at the place on the table and either a funny story or why that place was special to us.

Wedding entertainment

We felt that our venue cried out for a band due to the size of the space there. We had ‘Southwest Band‘ who were amazing! Again, like we’d said to other suppliers we left it in their very capable hands of what to decide to play as they’re the experts after all. They were absolutely incredible and the dancefloor was full all night.

Wedding photographer review

My husband and I were so happy with John as our wedding photographer. He was so professional and easy to work with, and he made us feel really comfortable in front of the camera. We loved that he took a lot of candid pictures, so we were able to capture the real emotions of the day. The end results were absolutely stunning, and we will cherish these photos forever.

Your best moment or memory

The outdoor ceremony was truly special, and the bridesmaids’ and best men’s speeches made it all the more emotional. It was a joy to celebrate with everyone on this special day.

Tell us anything you did differently – we love hearing about NEW traditions (or none at all!)

We had our official wedding ceremony at the town hall on Thursday, so it didn’t make sense to exchange rings again on Saturday. Instead, we incorporated a knot tying ceremony into our celebration. Also because the wedding was part French part English we changed few things to fit both.

Dunscar Farm

Our Peak District wedding venue was a field with a breathtaking view. Rachel, was ever so helpful and cheerful, serving as our wedding planner on the day. We are so grateful for her and her father’s kindness and hospitality. It was a pleasure to stay at their bed and breakfast.

Wedding readings?

We had our vows for each other and then the bridesmaids’ and best men’s speeches. We wanted to have all the speeches early so people could relax and enjoy the rest of the wedding.
