Jen and Joel's perfect English wedding

January 19, 2018 • Leave a Comment

Jen and Joel's beautiful wedding took place on a gorgeously sunny day in August. They had a touching church ceremony, followed by drinks and canapés on the lawn, a horse drawn carriage to their evening venue and a ceilidh band. WOW!

Having flowin in from their home in Canada a week before Jen and Joel, had a busy few days checking the last minute details with Jen's mum and Natalie (their wedding planner). This was when I met them. It was great to get to know them a little, as well as having a look around the tranquil village of Mildenhall, near Marlborough, to explore where it would all take place.

On the day Jen and her bridesmaids got ready at a friends house just opposite the church. Jen looked stunning in her corset style gown with a beautiful lace sweetheart neckline and full silk skirt. Her bridesmaids also looked very lovely in their purple dresses and matching waterfall plaits in their hair.

The couple had a beautiful blessing in the church which was packed with friends and family, many of whom had flown in from around the world for their special day. After this, I went with Jen and Joel to their friends garden to capture some really special shots. The garden was impressive, very well cared for and big too, so we had lots of lovely opportunities for their photographs.

We then rejoined the wedding party and the couple enjoyed catching up with their guests before hopping into their horse drawn carriage to Marlborough Town Hall. After a very tasty meal and brilliant speeches, heals were swapped for flats as the ceilidh band warmed up for their evenings entertainment.

Their day went so well and everyone had such fun (including me!!). It really was a perfect day.

Hi, thank you for visiting my website. I am a wedding and portrait photographer based in Swindon, Wiltshire, I also cover Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, the Cotswolds, Oxford, Newbury and Bristol.

At a wedding I love seeing relaxed smiles and taking photographs that tell the story of each day. My unobtrusive reportage photography captures lots of candid shots of the bridal party and guests, I am also happy to set up group shots as I understand how important these are too. I look at the detail as well as the bigger picture, capturing beautiful natural photographs throughout the day.

I hope you enjoy looking through my pages. I have an extensive wedding gallery full of real weddings as well as lots of lovely feedback that I'd love to share with you from past brides and grooms. You may also be interested to know that I recently won Business of the Year in the Whitewed Directory Awards, I am 5 star rated on Guides for Brides and you can read my reviews here, and have been featured in Vogue and Bride, phew!

Portraits are also a passion of mine. I love getting outdoors with families for a stomp in the woods or visiting newborns in their home - each photoshoot is so different and I'm always excited to create unique photographs that will be cherished for many years to come.

I love what I do and I hope that you can see that. I'd love to hear from you and to talk about your wedding ideas or your plans for a family photoshoot. You can either send me an email or call me on 07788 400250.

Thank you, Elizabeth
